Sorry for the later post tonight...

Social 30-1

We completed our case study example of an authoritarian government today by examining China. I showed you a couple of videos from the BBC 20th Century History series, "One Man's Revolution" and "China Since Mao". I strongly encourage you to read the Modern History of China notes that are in your 30-1 study booklet. Please remember that questions 1-14 and long answer question 2 from the U.S. Civil Rights Movement are due tomorrow.

IB 20 HOTA

I covered a lot of background material for our Authoritarian and Single-Party States unit today by lecturing on the 19th century political spectrum, the 20th century political spectrum, the principles of individualism and collectivism, the economic-political grid, and the techniques of dictatorship. We'll cover some basic economics tomorrow before we jump into talking about Joseph Stalin.
