September 25


We went over some important concepts in Chapter 3 today in class. We looked at the roots of official bilingualism, language preservation, the CRTC and CAVCO, and we talked about how media and communications technologies could be used to preserve and promote culture and identity. Please don't forget to review Chapters 1-2 in your textbook for your quiz tomorrow.


I gave you class time to work on the two charts that I sent you by e-mail last night: Napoleon's Domestic Policy and Napoleon's Conquests. You could have also used the time to work on your DBA #2. I will be giving you a Nationalism Test (which covers topics in Chapters 2-5) on Thursday, October 4th. The study guide is below.
  • DBA #2 is due Thursday, September 27th
  • Napoleon's Domestic Policy (chart) and Napoleon's Conquests (chart) are due on Friday, September 27th
  • Nationalism Test is on Thursday, October 4th (please see the study guide below)

This test will cover materials in Chapters 2-5 in Century of Change. In other words it covers the following topics: the French Revolution, Napoleon, Reaction to Revolution (Congress of Vienna and Revolutions of 1830 and 1848).

  • Divine right of kings
  • Class System/Social Structure in the Old Regime
  • Governments in France (Estates General, National Assembly, Legislative Assembly, National Convention, the Directory)
  • Causes of the French Revolution (why did it happen in France? fundamental causes, etc.

  • Fall of the Bastille (why did it happen? why is it important?)
  • Radicals and Moderates
  • Reign of Terror (what was it? why did it happen? key figures/leaders)
  • Results of the French Revolution
  • Napoleon (accomplishments, what he did he rule/not rule-countries, where was he exiled)
  • Napoleon's Domestic Policies
  • Napoleonic Code (what is it? significance of the Napoleonic Code)
  • French Nationalism (how did this help France? how did this affect Europe?)
  • Napoleon's Foreign Policy
  • Battle of Trafalgar (what is it? why did it happen? what were the results? implications for France and Britain)
  • Battle of Austerlitz

If you're talking about the French Revolution games, check the September 17th post.

Let's hope you don't take a Craig Day and play Halo 3.

Mr. Gilchrist
so our test is just going to be matching and short answer?
nothing else?
and what exactly is La Francophonie?
and lastly
where are case studies in your txtbook?

------------------------
I'm not sure if this was posted yesterday, but that's where I found it. The Chapter 1-2 quiz for Social 10 students is just matching and short answer. The case studies are mostly in Chapter 2. The Metis are on page 30-32. The Hmong are on page 33-34. The Francophones are on page 37. The Maori are on page 40-41 (and of course from the film "Whale Rider"). La Francophonie can be found on pages 3 and 21.
