Socials 10: Nov. 4th including link to 1920's scrap book

***Reminder:  Thursday Nov. 7 is the last day to hand in work for term 1.  (Your last unit test, political cartoon and issues part 1 will be included in this). 

Today we are going to continue talking about the post WWI era.  We will start by going over the Friday 5 and then  do some notes on the Welcome Home notes frame, and answer the following questions:

• Who were the big 3 and what did they each want at the end of the war?
• What was Canada’s role at the Paris Peace conferences?
• Were the terms of the treaty of Versailles just and fair?
• How might the treaty led to further unrest?

From here we will work on two things:

1.  The 1920's scrap book

2.  Part 1: issues paper

Here is the link for the 1920's scrap book:
