We started our Constitutional Convention today, and we'll continue tomorrow and Wednesday. It took us a while to set the order of the agenda, but once we did that we had some good debate. It is pretty clear that many of you have done your research. If you didn't speak much (or at all today) you have two classes to get involved in the debate. Remember, you're being evaluated on not only research and preparation for the convention, but also the quality and content of your speeches. Raise your placard during the debate, and I will call on you. Please remember that you have your American Revolution Test on Thursday (please see the study guide below).

I taught you the Boom and Bust Cycle (Business Cycle) today, and I went through a PowerPoint lecture called "Responding to Classical Liberalism". While I was lecturing, you should have completed the chart in your Social 30-1 coursebooks. Keep working on your Chapter 4 Key Terms and Questions tonight. We'll continue talking about the transformation from classical liberalism to welfare capitalism to modern liberalism. 




You had some class time today to work on your Chapter 5 Key Terms and Questions. I will do a homework check on the Chapter 5 work tomorrow. You're writing the Unit 1 Final Exam tomorrow, and the Unit 1 WRA I on Wednesday. 



Unit 1 Final Exam will be Tuesday, October 2nd. The format for the exam is entirely multiple choice. It will consist of 55 multiple choice questions, 60-65% of the questions will be "source-based" questions, while the remainder will be simply knowledge and comprehension style questions. In other words, the source-based questions will use political cartoons, timelines, a chart or diagram, a graph, a reading, a photo or a map, and you will have answer questions related to that source. The source-based questions will be difficult to prepare for. You must have a firm grasp of the concepts and key terms that were introduced in Unit 1, because that will allow you to apply the knowledge that you have to answer the multiple choice questions.

You must read up on Karl Marx (pages 94-96), Lenin (pages 97-98) and Stalin (pages 99-101) in your study booklets tonight (page references in brackets).

Although we didn't pass too many resolutions/articles I think that you benefited from discussing this issues in class. We'll be talking about writing strategies for a Paper 1 tomorrow, so we may not have a lot of time to discuss developments regarding the Western response to ISIS. Please bring in articles, newspaper clippings and political cartoons still, but just be aware that discussion may be limited because we have other objectives that need to be met. Here are the links to the articles about the drinking habits of the American founding fathers:
