Today we began by checking the completion of Exercise 13 from the handbook.  Students then used this information, as well as any other relevant information from their notes, to choose which proposals they would put forward in our Quebec Conference simulation and why.

Any students who missed today's class will have to make sure they are present on Thursday, November 24 for the simulation conference, as your participation is an integral component of this unit.

We then continued with the movie, John A: Birth of a Country.

Please make sure that you have your arguments prepared for the conference next class.
