Social 30-1

I went through part of the lecture on "20th Century Rejections of Liberalism" which focuses on why Stalin's USSR and Hitler's Nazi Germany rejected liberalism. I only went through the first half of the presentation on our case study for a communist totalitarian state: the USSR. You are responsible for going through the second half of the PowerPoint presentation on Nazi Germany. You can find this PowerPoint on the Social 30-1 wiki under Unit 2 content.

Social 20-1

I showed you a video from the BBC 20th Century History series called "Why Appeasement?" While you watched this video you had to answer questions from a film study sheet that was in your Social 20-1 study booklet. I also had you do some small group work on the focus task from the "Was Appeasement a Good Idea?" reading in your Social 20-1 booklet. We also reviewed the mnemonic FAILURe for the League of Nations. Please remember that you are writing your Unit 2 WRA I tomorrow in the Blenheim Room. Please go directly to the Blenheim tomorrow, don't come to Room 111.
