September 24

Sorry, I forgot to post this yesterday.

We finished off Episode 3 of Ken Burns' "The Civil War". This will be your last weekend to finish off the rough draft of your IA. The rough draft of your IA is due on September 30th.

I did a homework check on the "Philosophies of Industrialism" activity from your Social 30-1 study booklet. We covered the transformation of classical liberalism to welfare capitalism (and the differences between this term in the USA and the rest of the world) to modern liberalism. I reviewed the business cycle and how Keynesian economics (demand-side economics) uses monetary and fiscal policy to smooth out fluctuations in the marketplace. Your Chapter 4 Key Terms and Questions are due on September 30th.

We continued our film study of "Bend it Like Beckham". We'll be able to finish off this film on Monday. Please remember that you are writing your Chapter 3-4 Test on Tuesday, September 29th, please see the study guide below.


  • Know the key terms from Chapter 3-4 
  • Be able to answer the Questions for Inquiry in Chapters 3-4 (they appear on p.49, p.53, p.58, p.73, p.80) 
  • Know relevant case studies from Chapters 3-4: the Francophones, the Aborigines and the Lubicon, as well as other relevant examples related to assimilation, marginalization, accommodation and integration
