Both classes spent time in Room 111 going through how to write a Paper 3 on the Great Depression and the Americas. You'll be writing the Paper 3 on Friday, October 18th. We also covered some Alberta Social 30-1 curriculum outcomes by reviewing the economic and political spectrum, classical and modern liberalism, and how the economic systems response to the various stages of the business cycle. You should have a very good grasp of demand-side and supply-side economics after today's class.
