The Alberta provincial government has announced that they are cancelling the Diploma Exams in June 2020. What does this mean? It means that you don't have to write the Diploma Exam in June. What does this mean for the course moving forward? I will still proceed forward with course content, but there won't be the big Diploma Exam worth 30% of your mark in Social Studies 30-1 at the end of the course. In other words, your final mark in the course will be based 100% on the school-awarded mark. I am still committed to teaching you the course content online, you will still have assignments and projects, but the course will likely be scaled back as far as I can tell. When I know more information, I will let you know.

I've started to enter ZERO for homework check marks for Chapter 6, Chapter 7 and Chapter 8 homework assignments that were due this week. Submit the work, and get credit for the work you've done. If you submit it as a Google Doc, please share it with kevin.gilchrist.8@gmail.com if it is a Word document, please share it with my CBE account. Please see the March 16th post to see what you should have been working this week: https://kgilchrist.blogspot.com/2020/03/march-16.html

Same as above. I'm going to start entering ZEROs in PowerSchool for work that should have been submitted (Chapter 5 and 6). Please see the March 16th post to see what you should have been working on this week: https://kgilchrist.blogspot.com/2020/03/march-16.html

You have one assignment this week, and it's due tomorrow. Please check the March 16th post for more details: https://kgilchrist.blogspot.com/2020/03/march-16.html

March 16

2020-03-16T20:08:00.000-06:00

You have one assignment this week: the Cold War Leaders Profile Assignment. It's due on Friday. Please share it with me on Google Drive (kevin.gilchrist.8@gmail.com). It's due by Friday, March 20th. Please model it after the sample included in the assignment. You shouldn't use point form. We've postponed the Paper 3 on the Cold War and the Americas, and the multiple choice test on the Cold War that you were supposed to write on Wednesday. As of this point in time, the provincial government hasn't cancelled the Diploma Exams in June, and the IB hasn't altered the IB exam schedule in any way. I have to proceed with the idea of trying to prepare you the best that I can for these upcoming assessments to the best of my ability. I am looking into other modes of delivery of content, but in the short term, the textbooks are posted on the IB 30/35 wiki, and I think we can do the US Civil Rights Movement unit online fairly easily. We may even start to have you submit writing assignments to us online (if necessary). Stay safe!

Your Chapter 6 Key Terms and Questions were due today. Please send them to me by email (kevin.gilchrist.8@gmail.com). Here's what I was going to do with you over the course of the next few days (hopefully you took your Social 30-1 coursebooks home with you):

"Dealing with a Recession" (pages 102-103 in the course book)
"Supply Side Economics" (pages 104-105)
"Russian History Notes" (page 117)
"Karl Marx, the Father of Communism" notes (pages 107-109): read, highlight, and annotate these notes (I usually assign students to do this at home anyway)
"Vladimir Lenin" notes (pages 110-111); same procedure as above
"Joseph Stalin" notes (pages 112-114); same procedure as above
Please go through the "20th Century Rejections of Liberalism" (PowerPoint); hard copy in your Social 30-1 coursebooks (pages 134-142)
Read Chapter 5 in textbook (remember, I posted the entire textbook on the Social 30-1 wiki)
Complete the Chapter 5 Key Terms and Activities (I will share the Google Doc with you momentarily, it will force you to make a copy. Once you've completed the work, please share your completed work with my GMail account: kevin.gilchrist.8@gmail.com). I will post a link to this Google Doc on the Unit 2 page on the Social 30-1 wiki.
"Centrally Planned Economy" (page 115)
"Characteristics of a Command Economy" (page 116)
"Structure of the Soviet Economy" (pages 120-122)

That will take us to the Spring Break. At this point in time, the provincial government hasn't cancelled the Diploma Exams in June, so I have to prepare you as best I can for the Diploma. I have a lot of content online, but I am looking into some other forms of content delivery, so you can hear and see me explain some concepts online (I might be setting up a YouTube channel). We're just going to try and get through the rest of this week.

If your parents would like to have a parent-teacher interview with me, please have them send me an email to my CBE account: krgilchrist@cbe.ab.ca

Today was a bit weird without students in the building. We met and talked about how we're going to proceed with the course. We'll do our best in a tough situation. Take care, be safe.

I posted an outline of what you should be working on for the remaining days before Spring Break. Over Spring Break (March 20th to March 29th) you don't need to do any school work. Please go to the Online Work page to see what you should be working on over the course of the remainder of the week. If your parents need to contact me for a parent-teacher interview, please have them send an email to my CBE account: krgilchrist@cbe.ab.ca We are not doing face-to-face interviews this semester.

Please complete the following (March 16th to March 18th):

Please read Chapter 7 in Perspectives on Globalization (it's posted on the wiki)
Chapter 7 Key Terms and Questions (you have a hard copy of this, or you can download it from the Social 10-1 wiki)
Finish off the Historical Globalization and Imperialism PowerPoint/Google Slides on your own (you can find the lecture on the Unit 2 page)

Please read Chapter 8 in Perspectives on Globalization (posted on the wiki)
Chapter 8 Key Terms and Questions
Go through the Legacies of Historical Globalization PowerPoint/Google Slides on your own (Unit 2 Presentations page)

I also went into greater detail on monetary and fiscal policies (pages 70-76) in the Social 30-1 course books.

I did a homework check on the Chapter 5 Key Terms and Questions today. I split into two groups, side proposition and side opposition. We will be having a debate on Friday, on the following topic: BIRT globalization benefits the world's cultures. I also gave you a sheet on debate structure. We are booked into a computer lab tomorrow so each side can build a Google Doc to create arguments and evidence that your side will use during the debate. One week from tomorrow (Thursday, March 12th) you will be writing the Unit 1 position paper. That is one of the reasons why were doing this debate, to learn how to build argumentation and evidence to support your position in a contentious debate.

I lectured briefly today on the Cuban Missile Crisis, and then split you into your three options debate groups for Friday's debate on how the USA should handle the Cuban Missile Crisis. You'll get some class time tomorrow to work in your groups again.

We started a new unit today that will be helpful for Paper 2 (The Cold War: Superpower Tensions and Rivalries), Paper 3 (Cold War and the Americas), and for the Social 30-1 Diploma Exam. We focused on origins of the Cold War today, and we should be able to finish this lecture off tomorrow. Please check out the calendar that I posted on the wiki! This Friday, you are writing a Paper 2 on the Causes and Effects of 20th Century Wars. The essay questions will cover all of the topics that we addressed in that unit. You have a homework assignment that is due on Thursday. You need to go to the wiki, and go to the Cold War: Superpower Tensions and Rivalries page, and find the blank templates called USA-USSR-China Compare and Contrast Charts. If you want an 11" x 17" page, pick the BIG template, if you want letter size 8 1/2" x 11", pick REGULAR template. You can use the selected OXFORD textbook pages (also on the same page on the wiki) on this topic to help complete the chart. I also think that it would be a very good idea to build a chart on the different schools of historical thought on the origins of the Cold War that your textbook discusses on pages 64-66. The key debate that they cover is who started the Cold War? There are traditionalist interpretations, revisionist interpretations, and post-revisionist interpretations of this debate.

I started a lecture today which corresponded with Chapter 3 material, specifically on media and communication technology and preservation of culture. I also gave you some time to work on your Chapter 3 Key Terms and Questions, which are due on Thursday.
