December 12

Social 10-1

I did a homework check on your Chapter 16 Key Terms and Questions and the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms charts at the beginning of the class. I went through a PowerPoint presentation called "Impacts of Globalization on Groups in Society", which I will be sending to you today. When you get this PowerPoint presentation, please print it off 4-6 slides per page and add it to your notes. We started our film study of "Blood Diamond" today, and we will continue this film tomorrow.

IB 20

For the first 30 minutes of class today you completed the Tell Them From Me computer survey. For the remainder of the class we watched the documentary "Genocide". We will be leaving the Dictatorships unit and start looking at democratic systems tomorrow.

IB 30/35

 

I went through how demand-side and supply-side economics would deal with a recession at the start of class. We then proceeded to continue watching "Commanding Heights" Episode 1 "The Battle of Ideas". We did not finish this video in class. We finished a little over an hour of the video, and you can watch the rest of the video below. Tomorrow, you will have a test on the market economy and the mixed economy. Please see the study guide below. Many of the handouts and PowerPoint presentations that the study guide refers to are actually already on the wiki already under Social 30-1 Unit 2 material.
