Social 10-1
I continued going through the "Globalization and Sustainability" lecture with you today. I also showed you a quick video on shipbreaking from Vice. You also had about 20-25 minutes to write a relationship between the sources that I gave you yesterday. I won't be marking these writing assignments, but rather just giving you feedback on them.
Social 20-1
We started Unit 3 material today. You did an opinion survey to begin with on internationalism and nationalism. I also started a lecture on "Nations, Nation-States, and Internationalism". I should be able to finish this lecture off tomorrow. Don't forget to study for the Unit 2 Final Exam, please see the study guide below. I also talked a little bit today about the "Iran nuclear deal" (the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action) and that the Trump administration has unilaterally pulled out of the deal. I'm including some links below to more information about the JCPOA. You really need to come up with current international events that have a connection to concepts that we're covering this year. If were you, I would download the some newspaper apps on the cellphone. Start reading the news!! Here are some suggestions of papers that you could be reading:
- Los Angeles Times
- New York Times
- Washington Post
- The Guardian
Here's more information on the JCPOA:
