Gerst Class Only! Schedule Change: Brexit Salon and Class Survey

Ms. Gerst's class should review the document attached HERE for the parameters and research for our 2016 discussion of the European Union, which will deal with the debate over Brexit, i.e., the looming vote in Great Britain as to whether they should exit or remain in the European Union. In lieu of the final test, we will hold a salon on Friday, June 3 and Monday, June 6.  We will sign up for roles on Tuesday, May 31.  You MUST discuss the history of the last 50 years in the Salon (decolonization and Cold War readings).  I expect all or nearly all students to participate actively over the course of the two day activity, as we pull together the final threads of the 20th century and usher in the 21st century.  If you do not participate in the activity, you may turn in your notes organized in outline fashion (political advisor, economic policy advisor, foreign policy advisor, and national security advisor).  You will not earn above a C+ or B- using this method.

1989 People's Power (People's Century)
