IN-CLASS TODAY:

  • WARMUP: Turn in homework
  • Take out a piece of paper and give it the title “Totalitarianism”. Make a chart with three columns on it. The first column should be entitled “What does it say?”. Under this title, please copy the following key terms and definitions:
  1. Indoctrination: To teach people to accept a system of beliefs (thoughts) without questioning.
  2. Propaganda: Using newspapers, magazines, radio, speeches,and movies to give people a one sided message.

  • Next, get into pairs. If someone prefers to work alone, that’s okay.
  • The pairs will work with each other on the next part, but you must each have your own piece of paper and write down the columns and fill them in.
  • The second column, next to the one called “What does it Say?”, should be entitled “What does it Mean?”. In this column, discuss with your partner the meaning of each of the 10 terms and then in this second column, write a definition of each term in your own words, to show you understand what the term means.
  • Finally, the third column should be entitled “Why does it Matter to totalitarian states?” In this column, you must explain why this particular concept or power is important for totalitarian states to have total power over the people.
  • When you are done, turn in the papers. I will be grading them for how well you do this work.
  • After this activity, go back to your usual seat
  • Take out your textbook. Working silently and alone, read Chapter 13, section 3 about Mussolini. Then take notes on the section, using all headings (no matter what size or color). You must have at least 2 bullet point notes under each heading, and more than that if there is more information.
  • Next, write the key Terms, People, and Places listed on the first page of the section on the left and write definitions for each that make sense (in other words, don’t simply find the word in the section and copy the words around it!).
