IB 30/35
I continued the Social 30-1 review today. I talked very briefly about market socialism, and how to classify the Chinese economy, and where China fits on the economic-political grid. I went through the democratic systems section of your coursebook (pages 48-51). When we got to the section "dominance of special interest groups" we talked a little bit about the NRA. I also went through the structure of the American government (page 66 in your coursebook). We'll keep working on democratic systems tomorrow. Please have a look at the study guide for the Political Systems Exam (see below). Some of the notes aren't in your coursebooks, but they're on the wiki.

SOCIAL 10-1
I did a homework check on the Chapter 16 Key Terms and Questions today. We spent most of the period preparing for Wednesday's debate. I split you into two groups, side proposition and side opposition. Wednesday's debate topic is as follows: "BIRT globalization helps spread democracy and improve human rights in the world". On the Unit 4 page of the Social 10-1 wiki, you'll see that I've posted some articles with different perspectives on this topic, which should help you frame your arguments.
You have your Chapter 15-16 Test on Tuesday, May 29th (tomorrow). You can find the study guide below.

SOCIAL 20-1
I did a homework check on your Chapter 11 Key Terms and Questions, and your Chapter 12 Key Terms and Questions are due on Tuesday (tomorrow). I gave back your Unit 2 research projects, and your Unit 3 WRA II Essays as well. Please have a look at your current mark in HomeLogic.
For your Final Exam Part "A", I would make sure that I prepared arguments and evidence for an essay that is discussing the value conflict between the pursuit of national interest and the pursuit of international interest. You have 17 days until your Final Exam Part "B" (80 multiple choice questions). I pointed out that you have the study guide at the back of your Social 20-1 coursebooks. Most of the PowerPoint lectures are in the booklet. Please don't re-read the textbook to study! Please study from the coursebook. You should have nice notes in the booklet at this point in the course, it's just time to start going back and reviewing what you've learned. I listed off all of the key concepts from all four units, gave you a list of the lecture titles (most are in the coursebook), and gave you even more tips for review.
