Social 20-1

We looked at a couple of videos from the CBS News series on World War I. We watched "Doomed Dynasties" and "Clash of the Generals" in today's class. If you missed class today, you will need to get notes from a classmate on these two videos. Tomorrow, we'll watch the third in the series called "Trench Warfare" and we'll go over how to write a Written Response Assignment I (3 source analysis). Please see the study guides for the Chapter 3-4 Test and the Unit 1 Final Exam (scroll down to find it).

Social 30-1

We went over Keynesian economics, monetary and fiscal policy and its effect on the boom and bust cycle. If you missed today's class, make sure that you get the handouts that you missed. We also watched a video from the BBC 20th Century History Series called "Boom and Bust". While you were watching this video, you were to complete the video study questions. Please take some time and read over this article from NPR on John Maynard Keynes, and the podcast that goes along with it.
