December 11


I did a homework check on your Chapter 11 Key Terms and Questions today. We watched the Smithsonian Channel documentary "9/11: The Day that Changed the World", which took the rest of the period. We'll finish off the documentary tomorrow, and then look at the USA PATRIOT Act. Please check out the important dates below.

  • Unit 3 WRA I three source analysis is on Monday, December 15th
  • Chapter 10 Test is on Wednesday, December 17th (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!)



We watched the A & E Biography of Adolf Hitler called "The Fatal Attraction of Adolf Hitler". We'll continue to look at the emergence of a single-party state in Nazi Germany tomorrow.
