Social 10
I collected your Political Cartoon assignment today in class. It looks like there is a wide variety of cartoons that have been selected, which is nice to see. I showed you a video entitled "Our Constitution". This will be the last video that I will be showing in this series. How sad. I also returned your position papers today as well. If I made the comment that I need to see you before our next position paper then you need to come and see me in tutorial time this week! I also shared with you some upcoming important dates which will be outlined below.
Upcoming Important Dates for Social 10 Students:
- Politics and Government Unit Final is on Tuesday, May 9th (a study guide will be posted tomorrow on the blog)
- Politics and Government In-Class Position Paper is on Thursday, May 11th (the topic will be on minority governments in Canada)
- Politics and Government Group Project (Poster) is due on May 15th (more details this week)

do we get a word bank for the voacb pop quiz?
ReplyDeleteNo, there's no word bank. I selected key terms that you MUST know. I didn't pick any really obscure ones either.
ReplyDeleteIf you want to quiz one another on the blog here, be my guest.
ReplyDeletePlease keep in mind that your classmates may make mistakes, but hopefully we don't have any really blatant errors. Have fun with it! If you make a game of it, studying can be more enjoyable.
ReplyDeletewhats the difference between dissolution and prorogue?
ReplyDeleteProrogue ends a session of parliament, while dissolution ends the parliament itself. Essentially prorogue is a closing of business, while dissolution is a ending of the current government. Dissolution is always followed by a general election, while prorogue is not.
ReplyDeleteMr. Gilchrist, will we need to know terms like "daily order of business" vs. "daily routine of business" and titles like "honourable" and who they apply to?
ReplyDeleteSpiderman, Spiderman...
ReplyDeleteCan spell faster then any nerd can...
Mr Gilchrist:
ReplyDeleteIt's Aaron from your social 10 class. I wasn't here today because I was very sick, I called in this morning though to excuse my absence. If you could please email me anything I might've missed today in class or something it'd be great thanks.
Anonymous 6:24 p.m. comment: No you don't need to know those for the quiz.
ReplyDeleteSpiderman was so last year. Start quoting from something cool like "V for Vendetta".
Aaron, I have nothing to send you tonight.
whats the difference between leader of the official opposition and leader of the opposition in the senate
ReplyDeletehow on earth are we going to be able to memorize 90 terms
ReplyDeleteAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
Correct me please if I am wrong Mr. Gilchrist, but didn't you say that this test would be matching?
ReplyDeleteThis quiz is matching.
ReplyDelete7:48 p.m.: you need to read the previous posts. I'm not testing you on all 90 terms (only 20) and I picked the ones that are very common, that you NEED to know (think "basic" terms).
Phew. So does that mean we will have the words on one side, and definitions on the other and pick the best fit?
ReplyDeleteYes. Feel better?
ReplyDeleteYou just made my evening Mr. Gilchrist.
ReplyDeleteExcellent. Gambatte kudasai.
ReplyDeleteWhat does Gambatte kudasai mean? Is that japanese? I am confused.
ReplyDeleteYes, that's Japanese. It doesn't translate too well. Typically Japanese people will translate it as "please fight on" or "please perservere". I told you it didn't translate well, but trust me it sounds really cool.
ReplyDeleteI trust you.
ReplyDeletei hope the pop quiz is no tomorrow or that would be soo badd=(
ReplyDeletehint hint
Mr Gilchrist, will you be sending out the assignment tonight or will there be a link on the blog? and do you think it will still be due tomorrow?
ReplyDeleteI'll be sending out the assignment tonight. It will definitely be due on Thursday.
