Social 30-1

Today was a very busy day. We reviewed the differences between supply side economics and demand side economics. I wrote some notes on the board that served as an introduction to Russian history. I have also sent you notes by e-mail on Karl Marx, Lenin and Stalin, so please check your e-mail accounts today. You watched a video from the BBC 20th Century History series called "Stalin and the Modernization of Russia". You are to read Chapter 5 tonight, and complete the Chapter 5 Key Terms from the worksheet. I will be taking this in tomorrow for homework check marks. I also gave you a booklet on case studies that you could use for mixed economies (please read this, this could be very useful in writing an economics essay). I will try to send you some notes tonight on how supply side and demand side economics would respond to a recession. If I'm not able to send this to you by e-mail, I will give it to you in class tomorrow. Please remember that you have your Market Economy and Mixed Economy Test on Thursday, please see the study guide here.

We went through the "Making Peace" Focus Task very quickly at the beginning of class. You watched a video from the BBC 20th Century History series called "Make Germany Pay". While you watched this video you were to answer questions from the video study sheet that went along with this video. I also gave you a Post-WWII Map Assignment (this is due on Thursday). I gave you a booklet that covered key events in the Interwar Years. This booklet is VERY important, so make sure that you understand the material in this timeline. Please have a look at the following website, it may help you complete the mapping assignment.
