July 4

Social 30-1

I did a quick review of the 20th century political spectrum today, and the economic-political grid at the beginning of class today. I also taught you the principles of individualism (PRICES) and the principles of collectivism (PRINCE). Please remember that the principles of individualism is synonymous with the principles of liberalism. I also went through how to write a WRA I (three source interpretation) today in preparation for Friday's Unit 1 WRA I. I also showed you the Michael Moore documentary "Sicko" today. It is highly recommended that you watch the PBS Frontline documentary "Sick Around the World". There are some notes in your coursebooks on this documentary too. You had another exit slip at the end of class today too. Make sure that you request access to the Social 30-1 wiki if you haven't received an email invitation yet. It's really important!
