Social 30-1

Yesterday, I went through the issue of privacy. I had you read an article from the Social 30-1 workbook on how Britain is becoming a "surveillance society" (the article is on pages 286-287). I also showed you some videos on CCTV camera usage. I'm embedding those videos below.

Today's class (Wednesday, June 3rd) was spent in one of two ways:

• if you were in my Period 1 class, you had a work period to work on your Chapter 12 Key Terms and Questions (due this Friday)
• if you were in my Period 2 class, we went down to the theatre to hear Mr. Kay, the British Consul General speak (the Chapter 12 KTQs are due for my Period 2 group as well)

Please remember that you have your Unit 3 Final Exam tomorrow (study guide is posted below). Your Trial Final is one week from today (June 10th).
