May 13


We finished off the PBS Frontline documentary "Putin's Way" today in class. I'm embedding the video below, just in case you want to find some information from the video. Putin's Russia is your case study of an oligarchy. We started looking at the People's Republic of China today as an example of an authoritarian government, characterized as an ideological one-party state. I had your read a little bit from your Social 30-1 study booklet on "The Modern History of China" (pages 230 to 235). We watched a video from the BBC 20th Century History series called "One Man's Revolution". We'll continue looking at China tomorrow. There is a possibility that we'll start looking at North Korea tomorrow as well. Please remember that your USA-Canada Comparative Government Assignment is due on Tuesday, May 19th.




You wrote your Unit 2 Final Exam today, which took the entire class period. You will get the results back for this test tomorrow. Please remember that your Chapter 9 Key Terms and Questions are due on Tuesday, May 19th.
