We'll use today's lesson to look at the items you each prepared from the post-war era in Latin America.
Here's the Facebook-inspired list of "25 Not Quite Random Things about Latin America":
Juan and Evita Peron - Argentina
"Dirty War" - Argentina
"Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo" - Argentina
Evo Morales - Bolivia
"Lula" da Silva - Brazil
Salvador Allende - Chile
Augusto Pinochet - Chile
Isabel Allende - Chile
Gabriel Garcia Marquez - Colombia
FARC - Colombia
Plan Colombia - Colombia
Fidel Castro - Cuba
Guantanamo Bay - Cuba
"Papa Doc" and "Baby Doc" Duvalier - Haiti
Tonton Macoute - Haiti
Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) - Mexico
Frida Kahlo - Mexico
Tlatelolco Massacre - Mexico
Chiapas - Mexico
NAFTA - Mexico
Vicente Fox - Mexico
Zapatista Army of National Liberation - Mexico
Manuel Noriega - Panama
Operation Condor - "Southern Cone" dictatorships
Hugo Chavez - Venezuela
Remember
that we looked at some of the Cold War events in Central America
already, so that's why terms like Contra and Sandinista are not on the
list...
HOMEWORK for next session - Tuesday, June 1st
If you chose to take the 35:2 quiz today, there's no reading assigned for you over the weekend. You'll be asked to have Chapter 35, Section 3 read for Wednesday's class.
If you chose NOT to take the quiz, please review Chapter 35, Section 2, "The Challenge of
Democracy in Africa." (pp. 1040-1045) The Tuesday quiz on 35:2 will be multiple choice.
I will get you a set of quizzes for Chapter 36. You'll be able to complete those as a take-home assignment. They will be due by Tuesday, June 8th. Each is weighted as 5 points, just like the others we have taken this quarter.
Remember that your final batch of Current Events are due on Friday, June 4th. You can download this template for your Final Set of Current Events. (Remember, you are picking stories from particular areas, not according to the AP History themes we had been using.)
