July 12


We watched the A & E Biography "Stalin: Red Terror", and as you watched the video, you should have answered the questions in the film study sheet in your Social 30-1 course books. You should have read the Marx, Lenin, and Stalin notes in your course books last night. You should have also worked on the Chapter 5 Google Doc last night as well. Make sure that you read Chapter 5 this weekend, and print off some of these Google Docs that you have been working on this month. We continued looking at the command economy today. I also went through the PowerPoint lecture "20th Century Rejection of Liberalism". You should prepare yourself for a position paper on Tuesday, and the theme of the source will be economics. We also did a couple of practice cartoon interpretations at the end of the class (right before the exit slip), and I'm posting the cartoons that we looked at here on the blog. You wrote another exit slip at the end of the day too.
