June 4


We continued with the concept of illiberalism today by looking at the FLQ Crisis of 1970. I gave you some background notes prior to showing you the video from the Turning Points of History series. We're not going to have the Unit 3 Final Exam tomorrow, and I'm moving the Social 30-1 Trial Final to this Thursday. The study guide for the Trial Final Exam is at the back of your coursebooks (pages 88-97). If you're curious about the textbook Perspectives on Ideologies, you can find the entire textbook on the IB 30/35 wiki.



We started a film study of "Contagion" today, which illustrated a fictional response to a global pandemic. We'll finish the movie off tomorrow. On Thursday, you will be writing Part A of the Final Exam, which counts for 10% of your final mark in Social Studies 10-1.



We were in a computer lab today, working in Google Doc groups. Each Google Doc group had a different essay source to analyze. I'll give each group some feedback on what they have written. Don't forget that you're writing the Unit 3 Final Exam tomorrow. You can find the study guide below. On Wednesday, you will write the Social Studies 20-1 Part A of the Final Exam in Room 104. This will count for 10% of your final mark in Social 20-1. Don't be late for class that day!



Please review all of the Unit 3 PowerPoint presentations (you can find them on the Social 20-1 wiki):
  • "Nations, Nation-States and Internationalism"
  • "Canada's Foreign Policy"
