Form 4 Week 6 Summer Term

Hi Form 4,

On this very short Half term week, not much to report curriculum wise: but I have found this great 30-minute podcast by John Dickerson of CBS, on Nixon's visit to China in 1972. He covers some very relevant themes from our course, providing some colour and context to Nixon's momentous meeting with Mao.

"There is no place on this small planet for a billion of its potentially most able people to live in angry isolation."  (Richard Nixon, 1967)


This week we will look at the Boom in the 1920s; here is the PowerPoint (made by John Clare) that we will use:
