I finally gave back your
WRA I from the Enlightenment and French Revolution, all in all, they were well written. If you want to go through your WRA I with me, please come in to tutorial to talk to me about it. I did a quick review of the
principles of individualism (PRICES) and the
principles of collectivism (PRINCE). I then started talking about the
"Development of Classical Liberalism". This Google Slides presentation is on the IB 20 wiki under the Democracies unit.
I continued on with the Cold War today. I showed you a video from the
BBC 20th Century History series called "Cold War Confrontation". I also gave you class time to work on your
Cold War Events Notes from your Social 30-1 coursebooks. Your
Chapter 7 Key Terms will be due on Friday, and then I will take in your
Chapter 7 Questions on Monday, November 12th.
Advance polls open tomorrow for the plebiscite vote on the 2026 Olympics. The main vote takes place on November 13th. Even though none of you are 18 yet, and can't vote in this plebiscite, I still think it will be beneficial to you to get informed about the Olympic bid. The question of investment in an Olympic involves all three levels of government spending, so this definitely ties into what we have been studying this year. I've created a blank Google Slides presentation that you have all been invited to edit. I want you to explore both sides of this debate. What arguments are both sides putting forward to convince voters to their side's point of view. I'm including some links below for research purposes.
