September 5


We played a little "Global Bingo" this morning, with prizes to be awarded on Monday. The point of this activity was for you to meet some of your classmates, and to start discovering our global connections. I will connect the bingo game to an assignment that we will be doing next week. You have a couple of homework assignments to do this weekend: first, you have to create a chart with 25 items from 25 different countries. These 25 items should be broken down into at least 5 categories: food, clothing, electronics, entertainment, household goods, if your item doesn't fit into any of these categories put it in the miscellaneous category. Try split your 25 items amongst these categories, in other words, don't have 25 different food items. Your second homework assignment comes from your Unit 1 Worksheet. You are to complete the Chapter 1 Key Terms and Question from the worksheet. Both of your homework assignments are due on Monday. See you Monday!
  • 25 Item Chart is due on Monday, September 8th
  • Chapter 1 Key Terms and Question is due on Monday, September 5th




I finished off the presentation "Nation and Identity" today in class. I will try to send this to you next week, or possibly this weekend, depending on whether I get enough e-mail responses back from you. I gave you the Unit 1 Worksheet today and I assigned the Chapter 1 Key Terms and Questions for Monday.I'll let you know when your Geography Test is next week.

are we supposed to do the skill path on page 7 and 8 for homework? Because I went to do the it (that's what the sheet says to do) but it says it's a group project thing.

You can still do the skill path, you're just skipping the group work stage. You're working on it by yourself.
