July 15


You wrote the Market and Mixed Economy Test at the beginning of the class. I gave back the Unit 1 WRA I Chart Assignment and the Unit 1 WRA II Essay today as well. We watched the A & E Biography "The Fatal Attraction of Adolf Hitler", and as you watched the video, you should have taken point form notes in your Social 30-1 course books. We went through some notes in your course books on non-democratic systems and democratic systems, the similarities and differences between communism and fascism, and totalitarianism You should work on the Chapter 7 Google Doc tonight. Chapter 7 covers the Cold War, and there are a lot of key terms to work on in the Google Doc. Make sure that you read Chapter 7 today. We continued looking at the command economy today. 

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.
