September 24


I went through how to write a Written Response Assignment I (three source analysis in-class writing assignment). I will be sending the Word document with the advice on how to write the "Part A" to you by e-mail, so please check your e-mail tonight. You have your Chapter 3-4 Quiz tomorrow, please see the study guide here (scroll down to find it). Please see the important dates below.

  • Chapter 3-4 Quiz is on Friday, September 25th
  • Unit 1 Written Response Assignment I is on Monday, September 28th
  • Unit 1 Final Exam is on Thursday, October 1st (please see the study guide here)



I showed you a couple of videos from the BBC 20th Century History series, one of which is called "Boom and Bust" and the other "FDR and the New Deal". I also quickly went through a handout on Analyzing Political Cartoons. Tomorrow, you will have an in-class assignment where you will be writing an analysis of a political cartoon. There will be a lot of political cartoons posted on the blackboard tomorrow. Have a quick look at them, pick one, and write your analysis. Most of the cartoons will have themes/concepts that we have looked at so far in Social 30-1, from both Unit 1 and Unit 2. Please remember that your Chapter 4 Key Terms and Questions are due tomorrow as well.
