December 10

Sorry for the later post tonight. I've been having a rough couple of days...

I gave back your Unit 2 Essays today. I covered the concept of illiberalism, so if you missed class today, you need to get the notes that you missed from a classmate. We also watched a video on the FLQ Crisis from the History's Turning Points series. As you watched this video, you were supposed to fill in the blanks on the film study that is in your Social 30-1 study booklet. Please remember that your Chapter 11 Key Terms and Questions are due tomorrow. On Monday of next week, you'll be writing your Unit 3 WRA I using the Quest A+ system. On Wednesday, December 17th you'll 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 showed you a video from the BBC 20th Century History series called "Stalin and the Modernization of Russia". We also looked at historiography with the PowerPoint presentation "Stalin and the Historians". We're starting our examination of the emergence of the single-party state in Germany under Hitler tomorrow.
