Social 30-1

You wrote your Unit 2 WRA II Essay today in the Blenheim Room. I'd like to have these marked by Monday. I went through the separation of powers and checks and balances in the American presidential system. You need to go through/study the "Political Challenges to Liberalism" PowerPoint presentation that is on the wiki under Unit 3, after all you have a test tomorrow, the Chapter 10 Test, and in the study guide it is recommended that you study this presentation. I had you read a little in class about the "Modern History of China" (please finish this reading). If you want to know more about China's rise as an economic superpower you should read the "Road to Prosperity" article from the New York Times that is in your 30-1 study booklets on pages 236-242. We watched a couple of videos from the BBC 20th Century History series: "One Man's Revolution" and "China Since Mao". You had some class time to get some work done as well today.
