March 5


You worked in your debate groups building and organizing a Google Doc in preparation for tomorrow's debate on the following topic: BIRT globalization benefits the world's cultures. One week from today, you will be writing the Unit 1 position paper. I will teach you how to write a position paper next week, and you will get the essay question sheet in advance of the essay writing day.


I gave you some notes on the movement from classical liberalism to welfare capitalism to modern liberalism. We also listened to an NPR podcast on the Obama administration usage of Keynesian economic policies in response to the global recession. You are supposed to go through the following section in your Social 30-1 course books, and read, highlight and annotate: pages 79-84. One week from tomorrow (Friday, March 13th) you will be writing the Chapter 3-4 Test (Ideological Reaction to Industrialization Test), so I will be posting the study guide here on the blog tomorrow.

IB 30/35


I finished off the lecture on the Cuban Missile Crisis today, and then you moved into your three option debate groups. We'll be doing the debate tomorrow.

September 30


I did a homework check on your Chapter 4 Key Terms and Questions today. I went through monetary and fiscal policy again in great detail. We also listened to a NPR podcast that discussed Keynesian economics and how the Obama administration was giving Keynesian economics a real-world test in 2009. You can find this link on the blog under the Social 30-1 links if you want to listen to it again.
