Social 10-2

I collected your Chapter 13 Questions and your Chapter 14 Key Terms and Questions at the beginning of class for homework check marks. If you handed in your Chapter 13 or 14 work today, you will receive homework check credit for it. I showed you a short excerpt video from an episode of the CBC show called "The Hour" (hosted by George Stroumboulopoulos, actually I just wanted to type that name out once). The excerpt that I showed you was an interview of Jeff Rubin, former chief economist for CIBC, where he was talking about the end of cheap oil and the end of globalization as we know it. After that I gave you an article on electronic waste and China, and the links that Canada has to the illegal trade of electronic waste to China. We also watched a short video to accompany this reading from CBC News in Review. I gave you about 50 minutes of class time before the break to work on your Chapter 15 Key Terms and Questions (these will be due tomorrow). After the break, we watched "Who Killed the Electric Car?" and completed a film study to go along with the film.

Upcoming Important Dates:

• Chapter 15 Key Terms and Questions are due tomorrow
• Unit 3 Final Exam is tomorrow (please see the study guide below)

Your Unit 3 Final Exam is on Wednesday, July 22nd. This final exam has a different format than your previous unit finals. There is a short matching section, and you must also complete a chart (point form answers) on what supporters or critics might say about certain international agreements or organizations (please see the Chapter 11 Quiz Study Guide for an idea of what this might look like). There will also be a multiple choice section to this test (25 multiple choice questions), and a written component as well.
