We continued our look at
Authoritarian and Single Party States today by looking at characteristics of non-democratic systems and totalitarianism. We then started looking at a PowerPoint lecture called
"Joseph Stalin and the USSR". Tomorrow, you will write your
Paper 3 on the History of the Americas. On the IB 20 wiki under Paper 3 you can find the Paper 3 Markbands, some advice on writing a Paper 3 Essay, and a short sample of a Paper 3. You should review the formation of American political parties after Washington's farewell address, the War of 1812, and the Mexican-American War.
I gave you the
Unit 3 WRA II essay question sheet today. Most of today's class was spent in small group discussion on appropriate arguments and examples that could be used.
We did some review of economic concepts that I taught you yesterday. We built on the boom and bust cycle by introducing the Keynesian economic responses to various stages of the business cycle. We also watched a video from the
BBC 20th Century History series called
"Boom and Bust".
