IB 30/35

I started Social 30-1 material yesterday, so if you missed class today, you'll have some catching up to do this week. I gave everyone who came to class on Monday a Social 30-1 workbook for IB History students, that is yours to keep. 

If you missed class yesterday, you need to come to my classroom to pick up your 30-1 workbooks. Your next class is Thursday, May 19th. 

I reviewed the following content yesterday: 

• 19th century political spectrum (and their view on change; along with some quick review of the French Revolution and the Napoleonic era, specifically the Congress of Vienna)
• 20th century political spectrum (I also talked about classical liberalism = economic conservatism, modern liberalism, and the transition from classical liberalism to welfare capitalism to modern liberalism--which created the welfare state. Remember: welfare capitalism is synonymous with welfare state)
• economic spectrum
• the techniques of dictatorship
• economic-political grid (democratic socialism, democratic capitalism, dictatorial socialism and dictatorial capitalism, plus examples of each)
• economic values of a command economy, a mixed economy and a market economy
• principles of individualism (PRICES) --remember principles of individualism = principles of liberalism (I also defined liberalism)
• principles of collectivism (PRINCE)

Here is your homework assignment between now and when I see you next on May 19th: 

• read, highlight, annotate the Ideology Notes in the Social 30-1 workbook (pages 5-10)
• read, highlight and complete the individualism and collectivism charts on pages 11-15
• please print off (4 slides per page) of the following Unit 1 PowerPoint presentations: "Identity and Ideology" and "Introducing Government" (I'll go over this one in class on Thursday, May 19th)
• you should read, highlight and annotate both of these presentations

(I'll go over Introducing Government in class on Thursday)

• by Friday, May 20th you should be ready to go through the Unit 1 Review Prezi on the IB 30/35 wiki. 
• scroll down on the navigation menu on the right-hand side of the wiki to find the Social 30-1 section to find all of the notes and PowerPoint presentations for Unit 1

Social 30-1

We continued with the illiberalism theme today by setting the post-9/11 anti-terrorism legislation in historical context. I had you read a short summary from the CBC News in Review, and then I showed you a documentary called "9/11: The Day that Changed the World". Please remember that you are writing a WRA I (30-1 students) or an Assignment 3 (30-2 students) on Thursday, May 19th.
