IB 30/35
I showed you part of the documentary "9/11: Day that Changed the World" today. We should be able to finish this documentary tomorrow. This week, we will be covering Social 30-1 material related to crisis situations and what impact that has on civil rights and civil liberties.

I wrote out notes on the board today covering American political parties after George Washington's farewell address. As you should have seen, some of the political parties that emerged after Washington finished his second term, didn't last long (the Federalists), the Democratic-Republicans went through many changes over the years, but are the origins of the modern Democratic Party. The Republican Party emerged in 1856, and successfully elected their presidential candidate, Abraham Lincoln in 1860. Many of the topics that I covered in the lecture will be covered in Grade 12. We will talk about the Whigs, the Know-Nothing Party (the American Party), and the Free-Soil Party when we discuss American expansionism in the weeks to come.
I then gave you class time to prepare for your four options debate which will be happening tomorrow. I will give you some class time tomorrow to get yourselves organized in your teams before we proceed with the debate.
Social 10-1
We finished off watching what we needed to from the documentary "Life + Debt", by watching the section on the "free zones". We also looked at "Dilemmas of Global Trade".
