October 7


You spent today's class in the library doing research for your Imperialism Research Project. This project will be due on Friday, October 23rd. We'll talk about this project tomorrow. Please make sure that you have printed off the "Legacies of Historical Globalization" PowerPoint presentation for homework check marks tomorrow.


We watched a video called "Joseph Stalin: Red Terror" and completed a film study for part of today's class. I gave you some very detailed notes on the Soviet Economy and another handout with characteristics and advantages and disadvantages of the command economy. Tomorrow, I will be sending you some notes by e-mail which will detail the economic conditions in the USSR after Stalin, prior to the reforms introduced by Mikhail Gorbachev. Tomorrow you have your Market Economy and Mixed Economy Exam, please see the study guide here. You don't have school on Friday, Monday or Tuesday. Next week, on Wednesday, we'll be looking at the political and economic reforms of Mikhail Gorbachev. Next Thursday, you will have an exam on economic systems next Thursday, October 15th. I will post the study guide for this exam tomorrow on the blog.
