September 18


I covered a couple of more slides from "The Development of Classical Liberalism" PowerPoint presentation. You are responsible for reviewing the French Revolution and Industrial Revolution that is included in this presentation. You can find "The Development of Classical Liberalism" presentation on the Social 30-1 wiki under Unit 2. You had the remainder of the period to work on your Chapter 3 Key Terms and Questions, which are due on Tuesday.


We started Episode 1 of Ken Burns' "The Civil War" today, and we should be able to finish it in Monday's class. Keep working on your IA this weekend. Remember, your completed rough draft is due on September 30th.


We spent most of today's class setting up our research assignment on the universalization of popular culture and hybridization. By the end of the period, it seems like everyone had a topic, and were working on the research phase of the project. Ultimately, the product that you will be using to display your information is an infographic. You will get one more period in a computer lab on Monday, and then we'll settle on a due date for this project. Don't forget that you're writing your Chapter 1-2 Test on Tuesday, please see the study guide below. Your Chapter 3 Key Terms and Questions are due on Monday, September 21st.
