= This was getting a bit unrulely, so I created a new page (see the navigation section to the left) called 'TEST'. We can put all our DBQ test questions (rather than just sources we found) on there. We can create more pages as needed. =

__** DBQ Primary Resources **__ =DID WE RECEIVE THE FIRST PART OF THE ASSIGNMENT BACK FROM JOHN??? = = =   the Academic Group did. . . it was sent to oisenet.. .

=
Click on 'Edit this Page' (just above in the toolbar) to add your resources. It works like word, so just type or cut/paste whatever you want to add and then we can all read it when we log on. When you're done adding your stuff don't forget to click on 'Save'. I think this might be a bit easier than email since it's all on 1 page and we don't have to clog up anyone's inbox. If you guys hate this we don't have to use it (we just learned about it today in my Biology curriculum class so I wanted to try it out). See everyone Friday!! :)====== //**Je n**

// =__CBC VIDEOS __=

  I guess we can't use videos, right? We can't really show the video to the class and then test them on it. I found a few good cartoons, I'll post them a little later.====== -Mike

A Few Things

These are a couple of cartoon regarding the arms race. I think images work particularly well for the applied course, but they can be good for both.





I also found a site that collects recollections from veterans. I looked at Korean War stuff. There wasn't a lot of reflection about WHY they went, but some were good. This link is particularly interesting, because it is a reflection from a Canadian woman: [|Female Medical Corps]

Here's some stuff I found on the "Ontarion History Quest: Toronto" website (http://ohq.tpl.toronto.on.ca/ ). Don't realyl have any idea the questions for them would be yet, but I'm sure I'll think of something by Tuesday.



This map could be used for a question relating to the danger Canada was in during the Cuban Missile Crisis. --Laura



Extract from President Kennedy's TV broadcast announcing the presence of Soviet missiles in Cuba

Here's some stuff on the Avro Arrow - Jen





... and a little something for the 'nuclear age' (circa 1966). ... and a little something on Pearson's legacy (this stamp's from 2000)

=I found the following from 'Ontario History Quest'= =-Arista=

These stats are very cool in a scary way, and very relevant to our Toronto students...



This is interesting, but I don't know what kind of questions to ask from this. Also, there are several other accompaning documents that we could look at from: http://ohq.tpl.toronto.on.ca/gr10-wq-2n.jsp



Globe and Mail - Though the small print is pretty impossible the main headlines paint a nice picture of what was going on and subsequent concerns. Probably more domestic, so. . its all yours if you guys want it.



Both of these are from the Saskatchewan Council for Archives and Architecture.

and Atten domestics, if you guys are doing anything on women, I have a women's history text with a bunch of articles taken from Chatelaine from our time period. I'll bring it tomorrow along with some other resources.

 * Hey Guys, here's the website for Pearson's Presentation speech in 1957**<span style="color: rgb(47,209,31);">
 * There's a lot of bio stuff that I cut out before printing. This is the full doc. See you Friday!

Hey Aliza,

Here is the paragraph from the Korean Website for the long essay question.** Tragedy struck Canadian troops early--even before arriving in Korea--when 17 gunners of the Royal Canadian Horse Artillery were killed when a passenger and a troop train crashed head-on at Canoe River, B.C. on 21 November 1950. On 27 July 1953 the Armistice Agreement was implemented. A Military Demarcation Line was fixed and the opposing armies withdrew two kilometres from the line to establish a buffer – the Demilitarized Zone. The peacekeeping years began – observation and patrolling the 244 kilometre DMZ that stretched from the Yellow Sea on the west coast of the Korean peninsula to the Sea of Japan on the east. The Canadian sector included some of their former battlegrounds such as Hill 355, a permanent monument to courage, battle and bloodshed. The troops contended with the same natural elements as that of their predecessors – summer heat, dust, torrential rains and the freezing cold of winter. And in concert, the knowledge that theirs was a dangerous mission, for if the North launched another full-scale invasion, the likelihood of their survival would be slim.

I hope this is ok, have a great weekend,

Aleisha
