May 23

I delivered a little bit of a PowerPoint presentation today on Adolf Hitler and Nazi Germany today. This PowerPoint presentation has already been posted on the wiki under Unit 7 Dictatorships. We then started watching the A & E Biography on Hitler called "The Fatal Attraction of Adolf Hitler". We will finish this video tomorrow in class.
We have about 12 class periods to push through the entire Social 30-1 curriculum. We will be working on at an accelerated pace that will require you to work, reading and studying outside of class time. I went through a PowerPoint lecture today called "Introducing Government". This PowerPoint presentation is already on the wiki under Social Studies 30-1 Unit 1. It is recommended that you print off a hard copy of this PowerPoint (4-6 slides per page) as well as the "Identity and Ideology" PowerPoint. If you have any questions about this second PowerPoint presentation please let me know tomorrow. There are also handouts in the Unit 1 section of the wiki on individualism and collectivism that you should look at as well. If you're still having issues keeping the various political and economic spectrums straight there is a PDF file from the Black Gold School District called Ideology Notes that is recommended reading.

You will have a quiz tomorrow on the economic and political spectrums tomorrow, as well as the principles of individualism and collectivism. On Friday, you will be writing your Unit 1 Final Exam. Please see the study guide below.

  • Study the Ideology Notes (Black Gold School District PDF file)
  • Study the 19th Century and 20th Century political spectrums
  • Study the political-economic grid
  • Know the values and ideas associated with the various ideologies
  • Study the Principles of Individualism and Collectivism
  • There will be questions that review material on communism and fascism (which you were taught last year)
