Ryan's Classes Monday May 7, 2012

Welcome back from ALSO Week everyone!

History 20
We continued working on our 'Totalitarian Regimes' assignments.  I watched the movie 'The Wave' this weekend and I think we might watch this in class.  It is about a teacher who subtly uses authoritarian teaching methods in class to demonstrate to his students how a 'Hitler' type figure can rise to power.  Things get out of hand.  Totalitarian regimes are a lot like high school cliques, or gangs.  People want to belong and people can prey on this desire.

Student Groups for the 'Totalitarian Regimes' assignment
Hitler/Germany: Travis, Nicole, Jordan, Brayden
Franco/Spain: Josh, Sarah, Eric, Say Eh Wah
Mussolini/Italy: Johnathan, Paradise, Meghan, Cody
