You wrote your Unit 1 Final Exam today, which took most of the class period. Over this weekend you should start looking at Unit 2 material. During a regular Social 30-1 course semester it takes a couple of months to complete it. You have a lot of work ahead of you! Please visit the Unit 2 section on the wiki, and go through the PowerPoints that I have placed there, in the order in which I have them on the wiki, which is as follows:

The Development of Classical Liberalism
Responding to Classical Liberalism
The Evolution of Modern Liberalism
20th Century Rejections of Liberalism

There are also other handouts that I use in a regular Social 30-1 course in that section of the wiki as well. I will post the Unit 2 Prezi in this section of the wiki this weekend. You have an Economics Systems Exam on Thursday of next week. A study guide will be posted here on the blog.

We watched the film "Genocide" today in class, which took most of the period. Make sure that you look at the historiography of Stalin and Hitler that we have on the wiki this weekend. Please remember that you have a Paper 2 on Thursday of next week. Historiographical understanding is very important in both Paper 2 and Paper 3 essays. Don't just "name drop" historians in your essays! Understand the historical debate that has taken place regarding these dictator's rise to power, how they consolidated power, and their domestic and foreign policies. Make sure that you view the Paper 2 section on the wiki for other helpful tips.
