Social 10-1
I did a homework check on your Chapter 1 Key Terms and Questions (you'll get these back tomorrow) as well as on your 25 item chart. You are going to use the information on your 25 item chart and the information from your Global Bingo card and create a map of your global connections. Here are the instructions for the map (which is due tomorrow):
- your map must have a title ("Global Connections Map")
- you do not need compass directions on your map
- you do not need a border for your map
- you must have a simple key on the front of the map and a detailed key on the back on the map
- your simple key will consist of the following: 5-6 colored boxes (depending on how many categories you had for your 25 item chart) which will be labeled- food, clothing, electronics, entertainment, household goods, miscellaneous AND you must also draw a colored dot and label it "people" (for the information from the Global Bingo game that we played)
- you will only color countries and label ones that you have a connection to through the 25 item chart (for example, you own a sombrero that is from Mexico, you would color Mexico and label it "Mexico")
- there will only be 5-6 colors on the map, you don't need to have 25 different colors for each of your 25 items
- you also have to label the 16 people that you talked to during our Global Bingo game, they will be represented by colored circles (pick a common color for all people) and numbers (1-16, if you didn't talk to 16 people, you label as many as you talked to)--you do not color the countries that are represented on your Global Bingo card, you simply draw a circle on the country, color it, put a number beside it, and label the country (for example, if the only connection you have to Australia is that one of your classmates went on a vacation there, you draw the circle, write the number beside the circle, and label the country "Australia"-- you don't color the country)
- on the detailed key on the back of your map, you will be recreating your 25 item chart (make sure that you have the categories clearly colored and matching the simple key on the front of the map) and the information from the Global Bingo card (clearly identify people by number)
Social 30-1
I did a homework check on your Chapter 1 Key Terms and Questions and the Supplementary Key Terms at the beginning of class today. I then went through (reviewed) the political and economic spectrums, starting with the origins of the political spectrum in the French Revolution up to the 20th century political spectrum, the economic-political grid, and I talked briefly about the similarities between fascism and communism when looking at the political control vs. political freedom spectrum, and the techniques of dictatorship. I also talked about individualism and collectivism very briefly and their connections to the ideologies that we will be studying this semester. It is extremely important that you know the political and economic spectrum inside and out, and if you haven't done so already, print off the Ideology Notes (see the hyperlink under Social 30-1 Links). Here is what I would do for homework to lighten the load down the road when this is assigned as homework: read Chapter 2 tonight, and complete the Chapter 2 Key Terms. We are really laying the foundation for the entire course in the next few days, it is absolutely critical that you keep up with the assigned work, and if you don't understand concepts or ideas to come see me during tutorial time. We're going to start talking about essay writing in tomorrow's class and how to prepare for the new Social 30-1 Diploma Exam major writing assignment (which the province is calling Written Response Assignment II, which is essentially a position paper with source analysis as a key component of the essay).
