September 24


I collected your Illustrated Concept Map Assignments at the beginning of class today. I also returned your writing assignments. We looked briefly today at the CBC/SRC, and the role that national public broadcasters have in a globalizing world. Please note the change in your Chapter 1-2 Quiz below. You must study your Chapter 1 and 2 Key Terms, as well as be prepared to answer any the questions for inquiry. It would also be a good idea to make sure you really understand the case studies in those chapters, specifically: the Metis, the Hmong, Francophones, and the Maori.
  • Chapter 1-2 Quiz is now on Wednesday, September 26th


You wrote your French Revolution Quiz today. I will try to get those marked as quickly as possible, so you can know the results this week. I took in your Chapter 4 questions for homework check credit, and I returned your DBA #1. We also watched a video on Napoleon's failed invasion of Russia. Please check your e-mail for a couple of charts that I am sending to you, one is on Napoleon's domestic policy, and the other chart covers the Napoleonic Wars. Please print them off and bring them to class tomorrow.
  • DBA #2 is due on Thursday, September 27th
  • Napoleon's Domestic Policy chart and Napoleon's Conquests chart are due on Friday, September 28th (please check your e-mail)

Sorry, I can't remember the exact wording of the question, and I don't have a copy of it at home with me. What is the question?

-------------------------
"Lettres de cachet" were signed orders from the King of France. The orders were sealed in an envelope with the seal of the King (cachet).These orders were often to enforce arbitrary actions and judgements that could not be appealed. The wealthy sometimes bought lettres to dispose of unwanted individuals. In this respect they represented privilege and abuse of privilege of the Old Regime, and as a result were suppressed during the French Revolution.

"members of the estates general be allowed to vote individually on matters which affect all three orders but there should be only a vote by orders on matters which concern only one order..." This means that in the Estates General should only meet together to vote on issues if all three Estates were affected. If it was an issue that affected only the First Estate, then only the First Estate would meet and vote on it. Does this help?

Mr. Girlchrist, i was just wondering if the concept map is a big part of our mark? If we do really bad on it, are we screwed? Is there going to be more projects?

For the Ch. 1+2 quiz for the social 10 students, what are the "Questions for Inquiry" that we need to study. It also says for us to be able to provide examples/ case studies from teh text. Are those The Metis, Hmong, Francophone, and the Maori?

---------------------
The concept map is not the only project that you'll do this year. However, of the three projects/assignments that you've done so far, it's worth the most marks and will be weighted more heavily than the world map and the writing assignment that I handed back today.

----------------------
The questions for inquiry are the questions that you've been doing from your Unit 1 worksheet that are scattered throughout the textbook. They sort of have a colored oval shape behind them in the text. For example, there's one on page 29 in your text. You should be able to answer those questions.

mr.g, did the church honestly want to share some of the tax burden with the other estates? can we write that as a point of agreement?

Make sure that you've read those two chapters thoroughly too, but yeah, that's all that you need to do.

If it's in the Cahier, then you can use it.
