Today, you were supposed to have read all of chapter 4 in preparation for this class. What you are going to do now is:
Break up into pairs.
Each set is going to WOW me by what they show me Tuesday.
Each set will teach the class about a portion of the information in this text. The titles are indicated below.
As there are 22 of you, I can assume there will be 10 groups (ONE of three ONLY).
You will each present in pairs, showing utube videos (much as I did with the philosophers to get you to understand) and discussing the 5 W's and historical context.
You will NOT be able to hold a paper in front of you. This is an activity to show what you have learned and to pass it on. Reading off a sheet will NOT get you a passing mark.
The mark will be shared by all of you in EACH of the Four main sections (which are bolded below), so be sure you have an overview of the section itself (ie: what is Socialism and why did it appear, etc).

The whole presentation must not be longer than 70 minutes. This means that some of you won't be showing as much (nor do you need to) while others will have to do more. AS A CLASS, you will have to determine the parameters of time to meet this.

This chapter talks about the responses people had to liberalism, specifically their oppositions to it in all or in part.
