Links for 6th grade essential question

Essential Question: Describe fascism, communism, nationalism, liberalism, and conservatism.

As we discussed in class, you'll need one paragraph for each ideology. We've already completed the rough drafts for fascism, communism, and nationalism. This weekend, you'll write rough drafts for liberalism and conservatism.

Here are some links to help you write and improve your descriptions:
Modern History Sourcebook: fascism, nationalism
Wikipedia's definition of liberalism, conservatism
msn encarta communism

Remember that the paragraph (one for each ideology) should include the following:
-topic sentence that tells the definition of the ideology
-2 to 3 detail sentences that explain the definition (try giving a real example of it from history)
-a concluding sentence
