IB Course Plan Feedback

I need help planning out my IB History course.

Some context:
- never taught IB
- school has yet to send me to training. classes start tomorrow
- i have Upper 6 and Lower 6, meaning I need to operate under the new and old curriculum
-i have 2 other non-IB courses I need to plan, so my hope is to have Upper and Lower overlap to minimize stress for myself.
- Upper 6 has already been decided by the last teacher to finish on Paper 1: Rights & Protest

Paper 1: Protest and Change - US Feminism + Tunisian Revolution

Paper 2: Popular Movements - Examples: US Civil Rights & Apartheid South Africa (aforementioned overlap with Upper 6 Rights and Protest)

Paper 3: Americas - Political Developments in Latin America (out of my control) & Social Movements in the Americas

My main concerns are (1) the popular movement examples and (2) the social movements for paper 3. The IB Guide uses US civil rights as an example for the social movements, but am i allowed to do this if I am using it already for Popular Movements?

Any (and i mean ANY) and all advice, suggestions and guidance is appreciated.

Am I Screwed? Apostille Delays

I accepted a position in Mexico and they have booked my flight for the first week of August. I was only given the offer a little over a month ago, and the team that was responsible for helping me with my immigration process has been anything but helpful. They have asked me to get my background check, diploma, transcripts, and birth certificate with apostille, but with the delays of the school’s notice of requirements and my useless/unprofessional undergrad employees, I have no idea if I will get my school documents in time. However, I was able to receive my Master’s diploma and transcripts with apostille. Will my undergrad’s inability to do anything in a timely manner halt my immigration, or will my graduate school documents suffice?

TLDR
Can I still proceed with immigration process with just my masters diploma/transcripts w/ apostille, even without my bachelor docs?

mexican history

hello all,

i recently accepted a job at an international school in Mexico using the IB curriculum. i was told i’d be teaching mexican history to align with national standards and connect to the history of the americas focus for the IB pathway. any advice or resources you’d suggest to get started with planning? i took a latin american history class so i understand common themes, but i’ve never taught anything besides us history and civics. all responses appreciated
