Social 20

Social 20 students, your marks will be posted outside my classroom on Monday morning. You did really well as a class on the Final Exam. The class average was 79%. Excellent work! Have a great weekend!

Social 10

Social 10 students, your marks have already been posted outside my classroom. Please check your results the next time you're at school writing a final. The class averages were very high, once again for Social 10-1 the average was 78% and the average for Social 10-2 was 81%. Have a great weekend!


It's been a pleasure teaching all of you.

For my Social 20 students, it's unlikely that you will have me again as a teacher, as I only have one Social 33 class next year. I wish you all the best next year, writing all those intense Diploma exams. If you ever want to chat about Social Studies, or just life in general, just pop in for a visit.

For my Social 10 students, there is a higher percentage chance that I will teach you again, as I have two sections of Social 20 next year in the first semester and then the following school year (2007-08) who knows...so perhaps our paths will cross again. Once again, Social 10-1 and 10-2 were two outstanding groups, and if you ever want to pop in for a visit next year, by all means you're always welcome.

I've sent you a lot of materials tonight via e-mail. I sent you a practice final. I would like you to take this final very seriously, use actual testing conditions, in other words don't write the test as if it were an open book test. I will post the answer key to this practice exam on the blog tomorrow. Please do not post answers or ask for help on this practice exam here on the blog. You can ask questions about the practice exam tomorrow. I have also sent you the Social 10 Key Concept Review List, please print it off, that's going to be helpful in your review. Keep studying!

I would still like to play this game, so I need to hear from 3 more groups between Social 10-1 and Social 10-2. If you see that I haven't heard from someone in your group, please encourage them to submit their Find the Fib work!
