work for 11/16-11/23
Tournament of Invention final round: Monday (B block), Wednesday (E block) and Thursday (C block)
Inventions are due Thursday (E block) or Friday (B and C blocks) - see previous post.
IR test next Monday (11/23) - multiple choice and free response (1-2 prompts that will require 1-2 paragraphs each). Here are the study questions.
For Monday, please also bring a one paragraph typed response to the final study question. In your response, cite from one document given out in class. (You can find all of the documents--both primary and secondary sources--in the previous few blog posts). Instead of including a parenthetical citation at the end of the sentence and a source citation, frame the quote with your own words by mentioning the title of the piece and its author (his/her specific name OR, if no name is given, a general description of the person). Out of 10 points for term 2.
Resources from class this week:
Economic systems practice worksheet answer key - check only after you've tried to answer the questions! (I will be giving this out in class this week)
Key historical documents from the economic systems stations activity - you need to know these. (A much clearer resolution of "Capital and Labor" can be found here).
Other relevant economic systems examples:
Bernie Sanders' campaign platform (socialism)
Forbes Billionaires - 2015 (capitalism)
Walmart workers demanding better pay (socialism)
NY Times article on Amazon (capitalism, with some socialist elements)
