Friday, September 19

Today we are starting our unit on Dictatorships. I handed out a reading outline for you as well as key questions for this unit. It is up to you to prepare for class by doing the readings and questions stated on that outline.
We discussed Autocracy in depth today and examined ways that dictatorships begin, as well as some of the views that support the "Great Man" theory. If you didn't read the reading for this class, you will have a busy weekend.

Read pages 156-168 (you were to have done this for today) and the handout on Dictatorships that was in your folder.
Answer questions 1,2 and 14 on page 169
Do definitions on pages 169-170
Do questions 1a, b, and c, 4, 5a, 7a and b, 8 a, b, c, and d, and 10a and b. Also, do the first part of question one on page 171 (just make a list, number it and determine the three strongest for and against authoritarianism)

You are also to read the handout on the Government of the former USSR (also in your folder)
