Today was your last day of summer school. You wrote your Trial Final Exam today. 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, how to analyze political cartoons and other images and the "Recipe for Success" on the WRA II, and the propaganda techniques. 

There is also a VERY detailed Diploma Exam Study Guide at the back of your 30-1 study booklets. 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. You'll have access to the Social 30-1 wiki in August, I'll remove you from the wiki after you write the Diploma Exams. 

Here are the dates for your Diploma Exam:

• Social Studies 30-1 Part A is on Thursday, August 4th (9:00 am to 12:00 pm; 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 Monday, August 8th (9:00 am to 11:30 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.

You wrote your Unit 3 WRA I in the Blenheim Room today. You also wrote your Unit 3 Final Exam today. 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 the back of your Social 30-1 workbooks. 

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 and Social 30-2 multiple choice exam questions (click on Practice Tests, and you can find multiple choice questions for all of your Diploma Exam courses)

Social 30-1

I did a homework check on your Chapter 9 Key Terms and collected your Civil Rights Movement 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 CBC News in Review retrospective 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. I also had you read an article from the BBC on CCTV security cameras, and I showed you a couple of YouTube videos on CCTV cameras (one an excerpt from a BBC documentary, and the other from the HBO series Vice).

You wrote your Unit 2 WRA II Essay today in the Blenheim Room. I'd like to have these marked by Tuesday or Wednesday.  I gave you some notes on liberalism, illiberalism and the War Measures Act. The three situations in which the Canadian government could you use were 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 used 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.
