Social 30-1

Today was your last day of summer school. You wrote your Trial Final Exam and we finished up with the WRA I presentations after the break. You have considerable time off to prepare for the Diploma Exam. Make sure that you go back through all of the course content that we covered. Please DON'T re-read Perspectives on Ideology! I think that you should review all of the PowerPoint lectures that I went through. You should also make sure that you go through all of the notes and activities in the Social 30-1 workbook. Please review the sections on how to write a WRA I (pages 292-293), how to analyze political cartoons and other images (pages 294-296) and the "Recipe for Success" on the WRA II (pages 297-299), and the propaganda techniques (pages 300-302). There is also a VERY detailed Diploma Exam Study Guide at the back of your 30-1 study booklets, from pages 303-312. Go through the multiple choice questions in the yellow booklet that I gave you at the beginning of July, it will really help you out. Check out the review Prezis that are on the Social 30-1 wiki under Unit 1 and Unit 2.

Here are the dates for your Diploma Exam:

• Social Studies 30-1 Part A is on Thursday, August 6th (9:00 am to 11:30 am; you can take an extra 1/2 hour to make it a 3 hour exam. This is strongly recommended, then you have 1 hour for the WRA I and 2 hours for the WRA II)
• Social Studies 30-1 Part B is on Friday, August 7th (9:00 am to 11:00 am)

Please remember that you are writing both parts of the Diploma Exam at Viscount Bennett Centre. Please keep in mind that it may take you longer to travel to this school than it did getting to Churchill. 

It was a pleasure having you all in class this summer! You all made it enjoyable coming into work in July! Please post on the wiki what the WRA I and WRA II looked like, I'm curious.

Social 30-1

We picked up where we left off yesterday, with everyone in small groups putting together an essay outline for a previous Diploma Exam essay prompt. In the next few days, I'll post your outlines on the wiki with comments.

I showed you a documentary on free speech and the First Amendment rights in the U.S. The HBO documentary was called "Shouting Fire". As you watched this video, you should have taken notes on the case studies in the video (Ward Churchill, academic freedom post-9/11, conservative think-tanks going after left-wing academics;Debbie Almontaser, Principal of Khalil Gibran International Academy getting into trouble over t-shirts labelled as "Intifada NYC"; ACLU defense of Nazi Party of USA's march through Skokie, Illinois; Chase Harper's t-shirt protest against the "day of silence"; the fight to publish the Pentagon Papers; protests against at the Republican Nation Convention in New York City.)

You have your Trial Final Exam tomorrow, and it potentially will count for marks, especially if it's not one of your two lowest test scores. The study guide is in your blue workbooks on pages 333-345. 

Please check out the following links:

• Examples of the Standards of Students' Writing (this will give you an idea of what the standards are for the marking of Part A of the Diploma Exam. Remember, these are "low basket Es" that they put up)
• Quest A Plus website with Social 30-1 multiple choice exam questions (click on Practice Tests, and you can find multiple choice questions for all of your Diploma Exam courses)

You wrote your Unit 3 WRA I today in the Blenheim Room. When you returned to the classroom you got your Unit 2 WRA II Essays back. I did a homework check on your Chapter 9 Key Terms and collected your USA-Canada Comparative Government Assignments. We continued exploring the theme of illiberalism today, by looking at post-9/11 anti-terrorism legislation. In order to better understand why the United States and other western democracies passed legislation that began to restrict individual liberties, we need to put 9/11 in historical context. In order to do this, I had to show part of a documentary called "9/11: The Day that Changed the World". I also showed part of a documentary called "Unconstitutional", which shows the implementation of the Patriot Act and its impact.

You wrote your Chapter 10 Test today, and I did a homework check on the Chapter 10 Key Terms and Questions. I gave you some notes on liberalism, illiberalism and the War Measures Act. The three situations in which the Canadian government could you use was war, invasion and insurrection. The War Measures Act was used three times in Canadian history: World War I (1914-1918), which led to the internment of so-called "enemy aliens". The War Measures Act is also used during World War II (1939-1945) to intern Japanese-Canadians in response to the Japanese surprise attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. The Canadian federal government also uses the War Measures Act in October 1970 during the FLQ Crisis, with the Quebec government claiming that they were facing an "apprehended insurrection". As you watched today's video from the Turning Points in History series, you were to complete the film study fill in the blanks. In today's video we looked at the FLQ crisis, this is the interview on the steps of Parliament that features Trudeau's "just watch me" speech. It's an interesting little debate that is waged being Trudeau and the reporters over the issue on giving up or losing civil liberties in order to ensure security.

I checked your Vietnam War Assignments today, remember, your mark will be recorded in Assignments and Projects. We finished watching "Good Night, and Good Luck" today. As you watched this film, you should have completed the questions in the film study guide. I covered the concept of positive freedoms and negative freedoms very quickly. Also, I covered federal and unitary systems of government. You should also have read and highlighted the "Language of Governments" notes on pages 214-215 in your Social 30-1 study booklets. We watched the BBC video on "10 Questions About Democracy", and you had to answer the ten questions before you watched the video and then write down if after watching the video if your opinion changed. We went through a reading in your 30-1 booklets on Types of Democratic Systems. We covered the concepts of direct democracy, representative democracy (and the two main types: parliamentary democracy and presidential democracy). Your Chapter 10 Key Terms and Questions are due on Friday (the same day that you're writing the Chapter 10 Test).

You also got your Unit 2 WRA II Essay question sheet today.
