Okay, back on track and back to doing this blog! Just in time for finishing up our first introductory unit. REMEMBER - You have a test this week! Essay feedback will be back to you this week. I just want to get everybody's feedback done before I start emailing it out. That being said, if you want to talk with me one on one about your essays, please book some time with me! I get busy during the school days, but if I know I need to meet with you at lunch or before or after school, then I can arrange that.
So far, we have looked at the basics of individualism and collectivism, as well as looked at the important philosophers of the Enlightenment. Please be sure that you understand their ideas. We also looked at what influenced the formation of North American democracies more - the Enlightenment or Iroquois Confederacy? Maybe there is no real answer... Or there is and I just won't be telling you.
So what will we be learning this week?
