SS 11: Monday, 11 April

Today we watched two segments of the People's History series: one about the Winnipeg General Strike and one about the farmers and their politicization.  We had short discussions on each and students shared the key points they remembered.

Next we identified the difference between primary, secondary, and tertiary industry.  We also looked at the shift in Canada's trade patterns and noted that at the end of the First World War 60% of our trade was with the UK and 40% was with the USA.  By the end of the 1920s that pattern was reversed,  We discussed why, and noted the role tariffs and branch plants played.

I issued Ex #7 (on the changing roles of women); please complete it for homework.

I also assigned quesions 41-55 from the textbook chapter questions.  We'll debrief the questions next class, please ensure they are completed.
