I was able to finish off "The French Revolution" PowerPoint presentation that I started yesterday. Hopefully, we'll be able to start the History Channel documentary on the French Revolution tomorrow. I also collected your U.S. Constitution graphic novels today. You will have some assessments next week on the French Revolution, so please keep up with the material taught in class. It is also recommended that you visit this section of the IB 20 wiki to read other documents and information related to the French Revolution. I will be giving you a DBA assignment on the French Revolution tomorrow, it's a take-home assignment. In all likelihood, you will be writing a typical Alberta curriculum -1 style three source analysis assignment on the French Revolution next Wednesday.
I covered the concept of market socialism today. You can find the reading on this in your Social 30-1 study booklets on pages 130-133. I also taught you how to write the WRA I three source analysis assignments (pages 312-313 in the 30-1 study booklets). I gave you each three sample WRA I from Unit 2 material. I split the class into thirds, with each third tackling a different set of sources. We'll talk about each of the WRA I samples tomorrow. One week from today, on Monday, October 27th you will be writing your Unit 2 WRA I. Please remember that you are writing your Economic Systems Exam on Thursday, please check out the study guide below. I also talked about military spending briefly with each class, in part because we were talking about the Four Modernizations (one of which was modernization of national defence), and I said that the United States spends a tremendous amount of the federal budget. This video is old, but it illustrates the American military spending using Oreo cookies. The statistics used in the video are old, given that the USA spends about $600+ billion a year on their military, and China's military spending has increased to the point where the PRC now have the second highest military spending budget. Figures vary depending on the source you use, but by in large, the top 15 military spenders are as follows: USA, China, Russia, Saudi Arabia, UK, France, Japan, Germany, India, Brazil, South Korea, Australia, Italy, Israel, and Iran.
