Social 30-1
I collected your letter of introduction at the beginning of class today. I went through a PowerPoint presentation that corresponded to information in Chapter 1 of your textbook, with some additional information on the political and economic spectrums thrown in for good measure. I will be sending this PowerPoint out to you later tonight (after 8 p.m.). I want you to print off the PDF file that I am e-mailing you this afternoon (you can also find this link on the blog under Social 30 Links-Ideology Notes) Read these notes, study them! You will need to know the political and economic spectrum cold! You have a homework assignment tonight: you must complete the Chapter 1 Key Terms and Questions and the Supplementary Key Terms (both columns) from the Unit 1 Worksheet. This homework assignment is due tomorrow.

I collected your letter of introduction at the beginning of class today. We played a little "Global Bingo" today as well (don't lose those sheets, you'll need them for a subsequent mapping assignment). You have a couple of pieces of homework tonight: you must complete the Chapter 1 Key Terms and Question, and create a 25 item chart (please see instructions below).
25 Item Chart Instructions:
- find 25 items from 25 different countries (you can't have 5 items from one country!)
- find items from any of the following categories: food, clothing, electronics, household goods, entertainment, and miscellaneous (if it doesn't fit into any of the previous categories)
- don't just find items from one category (for example, 25 food items)
- try to find 4-6 items from each category
- collect your information about your items in a 3-column chart (item, country, category)
- don't assume that an item is from a particular country (for example, a Sony PS3 may be manufactured in Indonesia, Malaysia or South Korea, that is the information that we want)
- for entertainment, for example a CD (or MP3) we want to know where the recording artist is from, not where the CD was manufactured, this will better illustrate social globalization
- when you are collecting the information for your chart, number off the items (1-25) and have the categorized separate (in other words, the first 5 items on your chart should belong to the same category, etc.)
- the more organized your chart is, the easier it will be to put that information on to a map!

Hi mr. gilchrist... i think I am the first one to ask a question. I was wondering if for the skill path question on chapter one, you wanted us to make the concept map in the same format as shown on page 9, or if we could just do it our own way.
thanks for your help
Hi, Mr. Gilchrist. (Social Studies 10-4) I was wondering if we could list a product of Canada in our list.
Thanks!

You can do it your own way. Just make sure that you show some sub-concepts/hierarchy in your web. For example, globalization should be the center concept, with the subtopics being social globalization, political globalization and economic globalization, and then you have examples branching off of the types of globalization.

Absolutely!
Hello, Mr.Gilchrist. (Social Studies 10-1) I was just wondering if it is fine to have just two items from the same country (China) for the 25 items from another country list.
Thanks a lot.

Nope. Sorry. No can do. It HAS to be 25 items from 25 DIFFERENT countries. You'll see why tomorrow when I introduce the mapping assignment.
What if your house has a buy local policy?

Interesting. Are we talking about the 100 mile diet? At any rate, I find hard to believe that you can't find 25 things from 25 different countries.
Hi Mr. Gilchrist,
For the concept web, does it have to be in good copy for tomorrow, as the Skill Path would suggest, or do you want it to be in rough copy?
Thanks.

Rough copy is fine. When you do your Illustrated Concept Map Assignment my expectations will be a lot higher.
