December 7


Today was a busy class. We went through a CBC News in Review on elections in Afghanistan. You also got the Civil Rights Movement Assignment from me. The Civil Rights Movement assignment is due in one week's time. I have sent the essay outline sheets for this assignment. Your USA-Canada Government Comparison Charts are due on Thursday, as is your Chapter 9 Key Terms and Questions. Your chapter 11 Key Terms and Questions will be due on Friday. One week from today you will be writing your Chapter 10 Test, please see the study guide below.

This test is multiple choice format, with 55 questions. Please review the PowerPoint "Political Challenges to Liberalism". You're responsible for all key terms and questions from the Chapter 10 Worksheet. Please review the following as well:

  • Democratic Systems (handout notes)
  • Non-Democratic Systems (handout notes)
  • Structure of Canadian Government
  • Structure of American Government
  • similarities/differences between the parliamentary system and presidential system
  • types of dictatorships
  • techniques of dictatorships
  • authoritarian systems
  • proportional representation concept
  • first past the post system
  • review political and economic spectrum (again!)


I went through a PowerPoint presentation on "Canada's Foreign Policy" which I have already sent to you. Please make sure that you print it off and add it to your notes. I gave you some time to work on your Chapter 10 Key Terms and Questions which are due on Thursday.
