I continued the Social 30-1 review today. I went through "The Development of Classical Liberalism" lecture today. You really need to start paying closer attention to current events, international news and national news and start making connections to political and economic ideologies.

You got your Paper 1 on Case Study 1 (Japanese expansionism) back today. I went through areas that need improvement for the class as a whole. The rest of the period was spent in the computer lab preparing for tomorrow's debate on the following statement: "Hitler had a clear plan for achieving his foreign policy goals when he took power." You have already been split into two camps for this debate, side proposition (which agrees with the statement), and side opposition (which disagrees). Please don't forget that you have another Paper 1 this Friday (December 15th), where 1/2 the class will write on Italian expansionism, and 1/2 the class will write on German expansionism. Please review my lectures and the appropriate sections in your The Move to Global War textbook.

I started a lecture today called "Quality of Life, Human Rights and Democratization". I stopped on the slide that dealt with the history of human rights. We'll pick this lecture up again on Monday. I gave you about 40 minutes to work on your Chapter 15 Key Terms and Questions. If you're not going to be at school on the date of the Final Exam Part "A", we will need to set a day for you to write this exam prior to your departure (probably Wednesday of this coming week).

IB 30/35

I shared with you a Google Doc that forces you to review some of the concepts that you were taught in Case Study 2. Please submit this assignment to me by Thursday, December 14th (please share it with my GMail account). I also split you into two groups for our debate that we'll be having on Tuesday. You should have been invited to your group's Google Doc group to organize your research. Please invite me to your Google Doc debate groups please!
