"The Great Depression" - Period 1

On Monday we read about the causes of The Great Depression. Today, we watched a documentary about this period of history. What similarities and/or differences did you find between then and now? Were there any lessons to be learned from how the government dealt with the economic problems that lead to The Great Depression? Do you think the government is correctly addressing the current economic recession?

"The Armenian Genocide" - Period 1

Over the past week you have seen films and read articles about The Armenian Genocide. On Thursday you heard a schoarly and informative lecture about this terrible event by Father Boghosian. As you know, the last stage of Genocide is denial. Given everything you've heard, seen, and read, what do you think should be done to make more people aware of the Armenian Genocide? Do you think that the President should give a speech about it in order to focus more attention on this emotionally charged subject?
