I collected your Global Connections Maps at the beginning of class, I will mark them over the long weekend and get them back to you on Tuesday. We went through the formulation of arguments and examples in preparation for writing a position paper. The scenario was "How would you convince a friend that they should choose to go to SWC?", you brainstormed ideas/arguments that you would use to convince your friend to come to Churchill. We then differentiated between what is an argument and what is evidence. We looked at one particular argument (academics) and then brainstormed examples and specific pieces of evidence that would be used to convince people that SWC is a strong academic high school. This type of positional thinking is a skill that we will be developing over the course of the semester.

I focused on preparing for the Written Response Assignment II today. I gave you a few handouts, one of which I call "Preparing for the "Written Response Assignment II: Recipe for Success" (long-winded title, I know) which walks you through the expectations. organization and format of the new style of position paper in Social Studies (which will appear on your Diploma Exam as a Written Response Assignment II). You will hopefully get really good at analyzing quotes this semester (as this is part of the WRA II), and to this end I gave you a handout called "Analyzing Quotes" which you will need for tomorrow's class. Tomorrow you will be given some quotations and you will work in small groups to analyze the quote and then start to think about outlining and organizing a potential essay based on the quotations that you will be given. We also worked on the concepts of individualism and collectivism today. I gave you a handout that summarizes what individualism and collectivism are and activities that will reinforce the differences between these two concepts. Please make sure that you complete the Chapter 2 Key Terms and Questions for Tuesday, as well as prepare/study for your Chapter 1-2 Quiz (which is also on Tuesday). The Chapter 1-2 Quiz is a "warm-up" for the Unit 1 Final Exam which will be written on Thursday, September 10th. The Unit 1 Final Exam is entirely multiple choice.

Will we be given back our answers to the Chapter 1 key terms and questions that you collected yesterday so we can use them to study for the quiz/test?
Yes. I'll have Mr. Gage do that tomorrow. Please remind him though!

There's a question on the worksheet for chapter 1 that says: What are some characteristics of ideology?
For that question would page 31-46 in the textbook be where the answers are?
In order words, is the question asking us to explain the components of how gender roles, the environment, etc, effect ideology?

--------------------------
Actually you can find the answer to that question by looking under the heading on page 49 that says "The Characteristics of Ideology". Think of those essential questions that all ideologies ask and answer.

I thought those questions were the answer to question 5?
So, then what role do the words gender roles, environmentalism, etc, play in the scheme of ideology? In pages 31-46 I didn't really understand what it was explaining.
