October 1


I did some "housekeeping" at the beginning of class today. I gave back your Chapter 4 Key Terms and Questions, and did homework checks for people that have the key terms and questions in their notebooks. I also recorded the homework check for Philosophies of Industrialism. I walked you through the Using Monetary and Fiscal Policy to Stabilize the Economy reading. I also want you to read the Democratic Socialism and Mixed Economy (pages 65-67) reading in your Social 30-1 study booklets. Your homework tonight is to complete the activity questions in the Sweden: The Welfare State section of your study booklets (pages 68-72). I will do a homework check on this tomorrow. Please remember that in tomorrow's class you will be writing an analysis of a political cartoon.

This test is multiple choice format. This test is on Wednesday, October 8th.

I spent a lot of class time today introducing parliamentary procedure to the class, so we can participate in the constitutional convention that we're conducting next Tuesday to Thursday. You were assigned an historical figure that attended the constitutional convention. I also gave you a copy of a graphic novel on the United States Constitution today. You'll have close to three weeks to finish reading that graphic novel. Read it!
I also assigned some reading out and assignments out of the History of the Americas textbook. Please read pages 22-26 and complete the historiography activity on pages 22-23 on Thomas Paine's Common Sense. I also asked you to read pages 30-34 and complete the activity questions on the Declaration of Independence on page 32 of the textbook.
