Today was another work period in which you hopefully finished off Part "B". I think that most people have moved on to the Population Distribution worksheet. We'll pick up tomorrow where we left off today. Obviously, there's no homework, unless of course maybe if you haven't filled out the physiographic regions chart from the PowerPoint presentation that I sent out to you. Please make sure that you have filled out that chart, because we will be doing a project very soon on the physiographic regions of Canada.

Today you had your pop quiz on the Enlightenment thinkers. I marked it in class and gave you your results back for it. We also did a brief review of French society in 1789. I then moved on to the remainder of the material in Chapter 2 from your textbook. I assigned the following questions for homework: p. 32 Q1, 3, 5, 6, 7, 13-17. These questions are due tomorrow.

Mr. Gilchrist, I hope this does not seem like a dumb quesiton, but I do not really understand what the parlement really was. I tried to make sense of it through reading the textbook, but the wording of the textbook kind of confuses me, and the information is kind of scattered. Sorry!
what about social 10-2

I have another quesiton, I do not really understand the "free gift" idea either. At first I thought they were talking about a vote because the textbook said "...was given the privilege of voting a figt to the king every five years." and then the following sentence says "This 'free gift' generally amounted to about five percent of its revenue."

What exactly are "feudal taxes" anyways? SOrry that I have so many quesitons!
Social 10-1 and Social 10-2: we'll talk about you moving soon.
Good questions. I'll try to deal with them in the order in which you asked them. Parlements had the duty to record all royal edicts and laws. In the years leading up to the Revolution, they blocked a lot of laws that might have reformed the Old Regime. The "free gift" was called that because it was a "gift" to the king. The clergy would give it to the king every 5 years. "Feudal taxes" were taxes that were imposed on each household and based on how much land they held. It was a property tax, also known as the taille.

Thank you SO SO very much! Have a great evening and see you tomorrow!
For the assignment we did today (Feb. 8th) at the top of the page it says there are 14 clauses, but in the writing itself there are 17. Do the last 3 not fit into any of the categories???

what is on the test on friday?
all the stuff on the maps are on the test..
Sorry about the confusion about the Declaration, I modified an old assignment, in the original assignment, it wasn't the real, full text version of the Declaration which I gave. Some of the later clauses may apply.
Please check the comments section of yesterday's post (or maybe it was the day before), I wrote exactly what the format of the test will be.
