February 28


Most of today's was focused on teaching you how to write a WRA I (3 source analysis in-class writing assignment). I gave you a sample WRA I today in class and gave you a booklet on Analyzing Political Cartoons. Please remember that your Unit 1 WRA I is on Friday and your Chapter 3-4 Test is on Wednesday. Please see the study guide for this test here.


We started looking at Keynesian economic theory in greater detail today. Specifically we looked at monetary and fiscal policy that are a part of demand-side economics. We made connections back to the boom and bust cycle when talking about these concepts as well. We will revisit the boom and bust cycle tomorrow and the Keynesian economic response to various economic situations tomorrow. We also watched a video today called "Boom and Bust" which is part of the BBC 20th Century History series. As you watched this video you were to complete a video question sheet. I did a homework check on your "Philosophies of Industrialism" booklets today. Please remember that your Chapter 4 Key Terms and Questions are due on Wednesday.
