1920s: Roar & Protest

The 1920s wasn't a ROARING time for everyone.  Today we did a quick review of:

1. Social Changes of 1920s

2. Economic Changes of 1920s

3. Canada's Struggle for Autonomy in 1920s (ability to control and determine our own affairs)

Then, we discussed the 3 major influences on Canada's political system, society and economy in more detail -- including American Influence, British (Victorian) Influence and Effects of WWI. 

We finished off class by discussing Canada's response to these 3 influences  including protests by women such as the Famous Five/Suffragettes. 

Last, we discussed whether or not Victorian values were still relevant to us today... 

Here's the powerpoint from today - as well as the handout that went along with it...  

HW - Catch up on Webquest + Project - Canada and Conflict.  It was also strongly suggested that you read and takes personal notes on Chapter 2, in order to stay on top of things.  We will have a 1920s/1930s unit test when we return from Spring Break.
