September 26


You wrote your Chapter 3-4 Quiz today, which took most of the period. You have your "Bend It Like Beckham" booklet due on Monday, as well as your Chapter 5 Key Terms and Questions. You will also write your Unit 1 Part A In-Class Writing Assignment on Monday, September 29th. Please check your e-mail, I've sent you an invite to contribute to a VoiceThread that allows you to analyze some sources, much like you would for your Part A writing assignment on Monday.


We looked at a case of modern ethnic nationalism today with the breakup of the former Yugoslavia, we will be talking about this case study in far greater detail in Unit 2. We'll be starting Unit 2 material on Monday. Please remember that you have your Part A In-Class Writing Assignment on Tuesday, September 30th. You also have your Chapter 3-4 Quiz on Thursday, October 2nd. The following week, on Monday, October 6th you have your Unit 1 Final Exam.

I can't seem to be able to login in the the wiki for some reason.
And when I ask them to reset my password and they ask for my email, it tells me that my email is not valid or does not exist.
I don't know how to login into the wiki. And I am also not sure of the website address.

I've got an idea that you're missing a step. Please follow the following steps:

1. Go to www.pbwiki.com
2. Click on Log in (top right hand corner)
3. On the right hand side there will be a box under "Go to a wiki" and "Enter your wiki name"
4. Enter "perspectivesglobalization" in this box
5. Click on the "submit" button
6. You'll be taken to a new screen, enter your username in the box (it's your first and last name mashed together) and then the password that I gave you (animal#fruit)
That should do it. If you're still having troubles, send me an e-mail: krgilchrist@cbe.ab.ca

I'm assuming that you're in Social 20-1, given the chapters that you referenced. If you're in Social 10-1, let me know because that will change my answer slightly. Here's what I would do to prepare for a Part A In-Class Writing Assignment:
Make sure that you know the structure and organization of these pieces of writing that I taught you in class REALLY well. You shouldn't have to think about how to structure it at all, and you should know what should be going into each of the paragraphs. Review the major themes and concepts that we covered in class: for example, understandings of nation, nation and nation-state, types of nationalism (ethnic and civic nationalism), factors in the development of French nationalism (causes of the French Revolution), and contributions that Napoleon made to the development of French nationalism, as well as knowning what contending loyalties are, contending nationalist loyalties and contending non-nationalist loyalties. I hope this helps. If you're in Social 10-1, my advice will be different, so let me know if this helps or not.

Absolutely. Know those big key concepts REALLY well and you should have the background knowledge to deal with anything that I might throw at you. Then it comes down to the quality of writing and organization of your ideas.
