This week we worked around the war in Vietnam and learnt some rather interesting things about the Americans' attitude and reactions to this war. Through protest song lyrics at Woodstock, to propaganda films financed by the army, The Green Berets with John Wayne as director and actor and Hanoi Jane ( Fonda ).
This was the last case study of the Cold War period. Next week we will rediscover the USA after this period 'til 2003 then you will have a triangular speech exercise before your finals at the beginning of May.

Week 20 Monday February 9th - 14th 2015
This week we finished working on Maps and the UK dealing specifically with the north/south divide in connection with language, music and so on. This was quite interesting to do and although I couldn't fully agree with everything said, that must be my northern stubborn streak, I did try to show you how biaised some of the sources were!!! Think about that if ever you have maps to comment on.
Week 19 Monday February 2nd - 7th 2015
This week we continued working on British maps considering the rates of unemployment, the north-south divide, the question of language and so on. We will pick this up next Tuesday.
Week 18 Monday January 26th - 31st 2015
This week you had a mini test on Maps then continued analysing them in a different light.
Week 17 Monday January 19th - 24th 2015

Week 12 Monday December 1st - 6th 2014
This week we finished off the work on Alan Turing before moving on to the broader topic of the memories of the British soldiers.
I did mention that there is a good article in the latest issue of Time about Alan Turing which focuses on the man himself and invites us to go and watch the new film based on his life entitled The Imitation Game. We will have to keep a look out to see where and when it can be seen!
You have to finish off the remaining documents on the soldiers of WW2 for next week.

This week several of you gave their speeches about New York and globalisation. Some were not too bad at all.

Make the most of his advice.
You were given some final documents about NY and how the authorities are trying to answer the questions raised and the limits of this global city. Be ready to react next week.
