October 26


I decided to finish off a lot of Chapter 5 material today by delivering the remainder of the "20th Century Rejections of Liberalism" PowerPoint presentation. I have sent this presentation to your e-mail accounts, so please print it off (4-6 slides per page). I will do a homework check on this on Thursday, since we will be busy for the next couple of days. Tomorrow we'll revisit the techniques of dictatorship and specifically we'll look at propaganda and indoctrination in Nazi Germany and the USSR. We'll also watch a short excerpt of "Triumph of the Will" tomorrow, and you'll write a matching quiz on Nazi Germany (39 key terms, please see the study guide here). See what I mean? We're going to be busy! On Wednesday, you will be writing your Chapter 5 Test, please see the study guide here.


Today, I started a PowerPoint presentation called "The Foundations of Economic Globalization" which I will finish tomorrow. If you chose to not read Chapter 10 in advance (like I recommended), you have a lot of work to do tonight. I have assigned your Chapter 10 Key Terms for homework for tomorrow. If you didn't to the reading, you obviously have to do that tonight as well. I gave back your Chapter 9 Key Terms and Questions today as well. Please note the upcoming important dates below:
