We continued looking at different types of dictatorships today (I will re-visit this topic later in the course) such as autocracy, minority tyranny, majority tyranny, oligarchy, military dictatorships, fascism, communism. Then we started looking at totalitarianism and the charactetrisitcs that it shares with dictatorships (remember totalitarianism is a type of dictatorship, but not all dictatorships are totalitarian). We also watched part of the A & E Biography of Adolf Hitler called "The Fatal Attraction of Adolf Hitler". We will finish this video on Friday. I also gave you a handout looking at the similarities and differences between communism and fascism that you must read. Your Economic Systems Final is tomorrow, please see the study guide here.

The vast majority of today's class was spent in the library doing research for the Imperialism Research Project (I will be talking more about this project in the next couple of days). This project will be due on Wednesday, April 13th. The product will be a Prezi, so if you don't know what Prezi is, you might want to visit their website and find out a little bit about the "zooming presentation tool". If you do check out Prezi, make sure that you click on the "explore" tab so you can see some examples of what Prezis can look like. Your Chapter 7 Test is on April 5th, please see the study guide below.

I was wondering, for the imperialism project are we allowed to sign out books from the school library to use over spring break for the project, or are we not allowed?

I'll have to get back to you on that one. Other classes are doing a similar research project and using some of the same resources. I'll ask other 10-1 teachers if they have done their research period in the library yet or not.
Can you put up the example you showed us of the prezi on the wiki?
