October 13


I gave you a handout on Woodrow Wilson's Fourteen Points today, one version was a plain English version and other part of the handout was Wilson's actual speech. I had you look at the Fourteen Points to determine which of them end up in the post-WWI treaties or could be seen in the Interwar Years peace agreements. I also gave you a handout on the Interwar Years. This booklet is going to be essential for understanding the lead into WWII. DON'T lose this booklet! I also gave you time to work on your Chapter 6 Key Terms and Questions (they are due next Friday). It's really going to help you if have read Chapter 6 prior to Friday's class. I also gave you your interim report cards today. There's no school tomorrow, interviews are from 1:30 to 4:00 and from 5:00 to 8:00 in the Main Gym. We'll be starting to look at the rise of Adolf Hitler in Friday's class.


I went through a review/comparison of supply-side economics and demand-side economics today, so if you missed class today, you'll need to get the notes from a classmate. I also gave you a couple of handouts today, one that compared how demand-side economics would deal with a recession and how a supply-sider would deal with a recession. The other handout focused on supply-side economics only. I also gave you some background information notes on Russian history, so again, if you missed class, you'll need to get these notes from a classmate. In the days to come we will be looking at dictatorial socialism (communism) and command economies. I also gave you your interim report cards today at the very end of class. There's no school tomorrow, interviews are from 1:30 to 4:00 and from 5:00 to 8:00 in the Main Gym. We'll be starting to look at the rise of Adolf Hitler in Friday's class.

Your next exam is the Market Economy and Mixed Economy Exam, which is on Tuesday. Please see the study guide for this exam here.
