Taboo Cards

Happy Halloween!

Don't forget your TWO assigned Taboo cards are due Thursday.

We hope to play the game Thursday or Friday of this week.

Don't eat too much candy...

;-)

INFO: I may not be back tomorrow

Adrian is sick. I may not be back tomorrow. If so, you will have work to do, but NOT your project.
I will make adjustments to the schedule when I return...but it is likely our Taboo game will NOT be on Halloween!

:)

More Ideology Definitions & Cows

1. Choose 7 words to define from the list. You may NOT define words previously done (this includes the first 10 words, plus the words for last night's hw). Again, all definitions should be in YOUR OWN words.
2. Make "cow analogies" for THREE of the "-isms" on the list (your choice).

Ideology HW-- Definitions

Define the following words from the list in YOUR OWN (not the dictionary's) words.
Hint: encyclopedias may offer more complete definitions, but they are more confusing...be careful. Cows are optional ;)

a. totalitarianism
b. feudalism
c. communism
d. fascism
e. federalism
f. confederacy

Upcoming Activities/Tests

Oct. 31st -- Taboo Game

Nov. 2nd -- Ideology/Polybius Quizam

Polybius Cycle

Please record all answers in your spiral:


1. Finish up your journal topic about Fairness/Efficiency if you have not.
2. Now that you have seen Polybius' cycle, answer the following questions:

• How does this compare to what you predicted?
• Do you agree with his cycle? Why or why not?
• Try to find some proof either way. Proof may come from your history book (thinking about our country) or encyclopedia (thinking about other countries).

DUE: TOMORROW

Cycle of Government

Polybius said governments necessarily follow a cycle:

• Predict the cycle using the ideologies on your vocab page.
• (hint: use only ideologies with Greek etymology)
• Which gov't type would be first? What would it go to next? Would there be other types to follow? When/why would it go back to the first type?
• Why do you think his cycle is this way?

(Min=2 paragraphs or so) DUE: MONDAY

DO NOT LOOK UP INFO ON POLYBIUS' CYCLE BECAUSE THEN IT WILL BE NO FUN TO FIND OUT IF YOU ARE RIGHT!!!
