October 10


You wrote your in-class position papers today. You will hopefully get the results next Wednesday. Please remember that Chapter 6 Questions and Key Terms are due tomorrow. Your Unit 1 Final Exam will be next Wednesday (October 17th). The format for the exam is entirely multiple choice. 60-65% of the questions will be "source-based" questions, while the remainder will be simply knowledge and comprehension style questions. In other words, the source-based questions will use political cartoons, timelines, a chart or diagram, a graph, a reading, a photo or a map, and you will have answer questions related to that source. These questions will be difficult to prepare for. You must have a firm grasp of the concepts and key terms that were introduced in Unit 1, because that will allow you to apply the knowledge that you have to answer the multiple choice questions. Please study your key terms from Chapters 1-4, and the topics covered in that unit.


We started our next theme "Industrialization and Ideologies" today by looking at the Industrial Revolution. I assigned questions 1-6 in Chapter 6 for homework on Friday. I also gave you a booklet on the Industrial Revolution that is due on Tuesday. Please remember that your Nationalism Unit Final is on Monday.

Is this in class paper the only paper we'll be writing for the report card in November? And if we did really bad, is there a chance to make it up?

-----------------------
It depends if you're a Social 20 or a Social 10 student. The Social 20 students will be doing a second position paper on WWI on November 14th. Social 10 students will also be writing a position paper on Unit 3 which will be happening in November as well, but the date is not set yet. Social 10 students will be writing a third position paper towards the end of the semester on the Unit 4 essay topic. The essay topics for Social 10 are the Unit questions that are always on the concept webs that you get from me. Term 1 Report Cards go home on November 9th, so it's highly unlikely that either Social 10 or 20 students will get another position paper finished before then.
