September 15


I collected your Chapter 2 Key Terms and Questions at the beginning of class. We began our film study of "Whale Rider" today, we'll finish this film tomorrow, and we'll discuss it as well. Please have a look on the wiki under Unit 1 Assignments for the marking guide for the Illustrated Concept Map. It is really important that you know how you are being assessed on this assignment.

For most of the class period we watched the Biography film "Napoleon: The Glory of France", as you took notes on a timeline of Napoleon's life. I uploaded the French Revolution presentation to the wiki this morning, look for it under Unit 1 Presentations. We'll be continuing to look at the Napoleonic Age tomorrow. We'll be looking at Napoleon's domestic and foreign policy tomorrow, and his disastrous Russian campaign on Wednesday. Please see the study guide for the Chapter 1-2 Quiz, which is next Monday.


This test will be on Monday, September 22nd. The test has a matching section and a short answer section.

  • Make sure that you have read both Chapter 1-2 from your textbook Exploring Nationalism
  • Study Chapter 1-2 Key Terms from the Unit 1 Worksheet
  • Study your answers to the questions from the Unit 1 Worksheet for Chapter 1-2
  • Study the presentations: "Nation and Identity" (Chapter 1 material + supplementary material), "Shaping Nationalism: The French Revolution" (Chapter 2 material + supplementary material), and "The Napoleonic Age" (Chapter 2 material + supplementary material)

-----------------------
Please use the Internet, no author for images. Please have a look at your Student Handbook for the proper format. In all likelihood, you'll have to give your image a name/title. You'll attach your citation list to the back of your concept map.

It's better if you think of these as "linking sentences". Try to think of the connection between the concepts and then write that between the two concepts, linking them together.

That's not necessary, but most of them should have a visual example.
