September 11


I did a homework check on the Chapter 2 Key Terms and Questions at the beginning of class today. I'll do a homework check on the "Nation and Identity" presentation tomorrow when we have a little more time on our hands. We started watching a History Channel video on the French Revolution. We'll finish this video tomorrow after you write your World Geography Test. Please check the study guide found in the September 8 post. Play some geography review games tonight! Please check the Collaborative Notes section of the wiki, I've added a timeline of key events in the French Revolution, which may be helpful to you.


I did a homework check on your first writing assignment in which you wrote about your global connections. I gave you time to work on your Chapter 2 Key Terms and Questions which are due on Monday, September 15th. Please study for your World Geography Test tomorrow. You will have your Chapter 1-2 Quiz next Friday. Please see the study guide below.

1. Study your Chapter 1 and 2 Key Terms

2. Review the case studies from the textbook in Chapters 1 and 2, specifically the Metis, the Francophones, the Hmong, and the Maori

3. Be prepared to answer any of the "Questions for Inquiry" from Chapters 1 and 2 (they are on the following pages: p.9, p.14, p.20, p.29, p.35, p.39):
