Social 30-1

We covered a lot of ground today. As you can see with summer school, every day is almost like 4-5 days in regular classes. We did a lot of "housekeeping" today. If you haven't received an invitation to the Social 30-1 wiki (please make sure that you check your junk mail folder), please request access to it (the link is on the right on the blog). The wiki is important to access because it has digital versions of my PowerPoint lectures, a few unit review prezis, and lots of Diploma Exam review topics too. Please let me know if you can't access the wiki tomorrow in class. I went through a lecture on the political philosophies of Hobbes, Locke and Rousseau today. Please review this content tonight. You have a hard copy of this lecture (and all of my lectures) in your Social 30-1 coursebooks.You might also want to have a look at these YouTube videos as well.








I also taught you the 19th political spectrum (desire for change), the 20th century political spectrum, and economic-political grid. All of you have been invited to a Google Doc that has links to other Google Docs where you can work together and complete all of the key concepts and key learning outcomes for each of the units. Please make sure that you are making your own flashcards to study from. You also wrote an exit slip at the end of the class, to see if you understood one of the topics that I taught to you today. This week you will write more of these exit slip quizzes, so please keep reviewing the content that is taught to you everyday, and pay attention during class time.
