History 12-1: The League of Nations

On Friday and today we examined the League of Nations and discussed the Treaty of Versailles (the PPT is available on SlideShare).  Today I returned the paragraphs written on the the Paris 1919 talks.  I was very satisfied with the progress you've made.  I would say yours is a very "teachable" group in that I can see students employing the tips and tricks we discuss to improve both the argument and style in these pieces.  We just started to look at some political cartoons at the end of class. Interpreting these cartoons is a "bread and butter" staple skill in History 12.  There is no reading homework tonight.  But the two students who owe a paragraph should get those in tomorrow.
