Social 30-1

You wrote your Unit 2 Final Exam today, the results have been posted on PowerSchool. You are writing more tests this week, please see the upcoming important dates below. I went through the PowerPoint lecture called "Political Challenges to Liberalism" today. We went through some key terms and organized these terms based on whether they were characteristics of parliamentary democracy, presidential democracy, both or neither. We then looked at the Modern History of China Notes from the Social 30-1 coursebooks, and watched a couple of videos from the BBC 20th Century History series called "One Man's Revolution" and "China since Mao". I started another lecture today called "The Imposition of Liberalism", I'll finish this one of tomorrow after you write the Unit 3 WRA I. You'll be writing the Unit 3 WRA I in Room 109.
