Unit 3 – The 1970s
by admin - March 15th, 2014
This short unit (begun before the break) considers the 1970s and 1980s. Sometimes passed over as merely transitional from the liberal/contentious 1960s to the conservative 1980s, the 1970s are now being reexamined as important in their own right. And was the 1980s so conservative after all? After the 3rd exam we have a week devoted to working on the Research Paper.
Remember, before the break we read: MO 10-11 and HOT 6, and started on the Research Paper (see tab above).
