Social 30-1 and IB 30/35

The Alberta provincial government has announced that they are cancelling the Diploma Exams in June 2020. What does this mean? It means that you don't have to write the Diploma Exam in June. What does this mean for the course moving forward? I will still proceed forward with course content, but there won't be the big Diploma Exam worth 30% of your mark in Social Studies 30-1 at the end of the course. In other words, your final mark in the course will be based 100% on the school-awarded mark. I am still committed to teaching you the course content online, you will still have assignments and projects, but the course will likely be scaled back as far as I can tell. When I know more information, I will let you know.

You have one assignment this week: the Cold War Leaders Profile Assignment. It's due on Friday. Please share it with me on Google Drive (kevin.gilchrist.8@gmail.com). It's due by Friday, March 20th. Please model it after the sample included in the assignment. You shouldn't use point form. We've postponed the Paper 3 on the Cold War and the Americas, and the multiple choice test on the Cold War that you were supposed to write on Wednesday. As of this point in time, the provincial government hasn't cancelled the Diploma Exams in June, and the IB hasn't altered the IB exam schedule in any way. I have to proceed with the idea of trying to prepare you the best that I can for these upcoming assessments to the best of my ability. I am looking into other modes of delivery of content, but in the short term, the textbooks are posted on the IB 30/35 wiki, and I think we can do the US Civil Rights Movement unit online fairly easily. We may even start to have you submit writing assignments to us online (if necessary). Stay safe!

Your Chapter 6 Key Terms and Questions were due today. Please send them to me by email (kevin.gilchrist.8@gmail.com). Here's what I was going to do with you over the course of the next few days (hopefully you took your Social 30-1 coursebooks home with you):

• "Dealing with a Recession" (pages 102-103 in the course book)
• "Supply Side Economics" (pages 104-105) 
• "Russian History Notes" (page 117)
• "Karl Marx, the Father of Communism" notes (pages 107-109): read, highlight, and annotate these notes (I usually assign students to do this at home anyway)
• "Vladimir Lenin" notes (pages 110-111); same procedure as above
• "Joseph Stalin" notes (pages 112-114); same procedure as above
• Please go through the "20th Century Rejections of Liberalism" (PowerPoint); hard copy in your Social 30-1 coursebooks (pages 134-142)
• Read Chapter 5 in textbook (remember, I posted the entire textbook on the Social 30-1 wiki) 
• Complete the Chapter 5 Key Terms and Activities (I will share the Google Doc with you momentarily, it will force you to make a copy. Once you've completed the work, please share your completed work with my GMail account: kevin.gilchrist.8@gmail.com). I will post a link to this Google Doc on the Unit 2 page on the Social 30-1 wiki. 
• "Centrally Planned Economy" (page 115)
• "Characteristics of a Command Economy" (page 116)
• "Structure of the Soviet Economy" (pages 120-122)

That will take us to the Spring Break. At this point in time, the provincial government hasn't cancelled the Diploma Exams in June, so I have to prepare you as best I can for the Diploma. I have a lot of content online, but I am looking into some other forms of content delivery, so you can hear and see me explain some concepts online (I might be setting up a YouTube channel). We're just going to try and get through the rest of this week. 

If your parents would like to have a parent-teacher interview with me, please have them send me an email to my CBE account: krgilchrist@cbe.ab.ca

Today was a bit weird without students in the building. We met and talked about how we're going to proceed with the course. We'll do our best in a tough situation. Take care, be safe.

If your parents need to contact me for a parent-teacher interview, please have them send an email to my CBE account: krgilchrist@cbe.ab.ca We are not doing face-to-face interviews this semester.

I did a review of the business cycle and the Keynesian economic responses to the various stages of the boom and bust cycle. I also went into some detail on the New Deal attempts at relief, recovery and reform through the "alphabet agencies". I also went into greater detail on monetary and fiscal policies (pages 70-76) in the Social 30-1 course books.

I did a homework check on the Chapter 5 Key Terms and Questions today. I split into two groups, side proposition and side opposition. We will be having a debate on Friday, on the following topic: BIRT globalization benefits the world's cultures. I also gave you a sheet on debate structure. We are booked into a computer lab tomorrow so each side can build a Google Doc to create arguments and evidence that your side will use during the debate. One week from tomorrow (Thursday, March 12th) you will be writing the Unit 1 position paper. That is one of the reasons why were doing this debate, to learn how to build argumentation and evidence to support your position in a contentious debate.
