October 16

Sorry for the later post, I've been kind of busy...

Today I gave you a copy of the Imperialism Research Project. You picked your country to research and I gave you about 60 minutes in the library. This is the only library research time that I can give you this week. The library is starting t get booked up for research projects (a popular thing to do in the Social Studies department this time of year), so in all likelihood this was the last library time that you will get as a class. You'll have to do some work on your own time. I'm posting some useful hyperlinks here that may help you with your research:

  • CIA World Factbook
  • Nation Master
  • Countries of World (e-book, use the password: chartwell to access it, click on Gale Virtual Reference Library, then click on the hyperlink next to Nation and World, then click on Countries of the World and Their Leaders) this is the e-book that I showed at the beginning of our time in the library.

We went over the results of the Nationalism Unit Final. I then went over some answers to the Industrial Revolution booklet. I then gave you a crossword puzzle and word search that is due on Friday. You should be studying for your Industrial Revolution Quiz, which is on Thursday. Please scroll down to yesterday's post to see the study guide (you copied it out today from the board if you were in class).

The e-book can be used as a book. Wikipedia counts as a website, not an encyclopedia, despite their claims to being an encyclopedia.

The next position paper for Social 10 students will be in Unit 3, and it will probably be along the lines of To what extent does globalization contribute to sustainable prosperity for all people?
