December 11

IB 30/35

I went through some basic characteristics of a market economy, and gave you some notes on private enterprise and supply-side economics. If you missed today's class, you need to get the notes from a classmate that I wrote on the board. We also started watching the first episode of "Commanding Heights". We'll continue watching "The Battle of Ideas" tomorrow. We're going to have our class debate on Tuesday (December 18th) against Mr. Johnson's class. On Thursday you will have a test on the market economy and the mixed economy. Please see the study guide below. Many of the handouts and PowerPoint presentations that the study guide refers to are actually already on the wiki already under Social 30-1 Unit 2 material.

IB 20

We powered through the remainder of the "Adolf Hitler and Nazi Germany" PowerPoint presentation. As you know, this PowerPoint is already up on the IB 20 wiki under the Dictatorships unit. Please also study the Hitler and Historiography article that is up the wiki as well. You need to know Hitler and Stalin extremely well for the Paper 2 that you will be writing on Tuesday, December 18th. Start studying the PowerPoint presentations on Stalin and Hitler now, and study the historiography! Tomorrow we'll watch a short documentary on the Holocaust. We will be starting the last unit in IB 20 this week: Democracies.

Please make sure that you have printed off the "Hitler and Nazi Germany" PowerPoint (pictured above) with 4-6 slides per page. Also, you should have printed off the "Joseph Stalin and the USSR" PowerPoint presentation already (pictured below). Again, don't print them off one slide per page, I recommend 4-6 slides per page, and double-side print if you can.

Social 10-1

I gave you some notes today on human rights, civil rights, inalienable rights, entrenching rights, the War Measures Act (used in Canada during WWI, WWII, the FLQ Crisis), the Canadian Bill of Rights (1961, not entrenched in the Canadian constitution), and the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. I also gave you a booklet on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights ( a worldwide goal for human rights, serves as a model for other documents, such as the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, but it's not legally binding. Many UN member states ignore this Declaration). You were to complete the chart activity on the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms and the application of the notwithstanding clause during class time. If you did not complete this chart, here is a hyperlink to the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
