Social 30-1
I went over how to write a Written Response Assignment I today using a PowerPoint presentation called "Preparing for the Written Response Assignment I" (see picture below). I will be sending the PowerPoint that I used to deliver this information to your e-mail accounts this afternoon. Please check your e-mail and print this presentation off. I will also send you the rubric, and if at all possible a sample WRA I. You will be writing your Unit 2 Written Response Assignment I on Monday, in the classroom. The topic/theme of this Written Response Assignment I will be from material that we have covered in Unit 2 thus far.
Social 10-1
We finished watching "Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee" today and you wrote a short quiz based on the film. I also reminded you that you had your Chapter 7 Test on Monday, please see the study guide here (scroll down to find it). Your Imperialism Research Projects are due on Friday, October 23rd.

Were physiocrats believers in agrarianism and developmental of the land to increase the prosperity of a nation.
for the imperialism project, what would a disadvantage for a colonizer be?
could be something such as there was resistance from the indigeneous people?
Mr. Gilchrist,
for the Imperialism project, where would say, strategic motives fit under for motives for colonization (i.e. B). --that is, strategic location.
thanks

Sometimes the strategic aspect of establishing a colony also had an underlying economic motive as well (for example, the British in Egypt, and control of the Suez Canal).

Resistance would work. It's also kind of expensive to maintain colonies. Just think of it, maintaining standing armies in far-flung places, equipment costs, food, clothing, shelter, salaries for colonial administrators. I think it was Benjamin Desrali that was pretty critical of maintaining the British colony of India, he didn't think it was worth the cost.

It's been awhile since we looked at the physiocrats in 30-1. Why are you asking now?
At any rate, yes, the physiocrats felt that countries derived their wealth solely from the value of land development and agriculture. This connects to their criticism of mercantilism. Remember mercantilism focused on the accumulation of wealth for the monarchy and setting up the rules of international trade to favour the mother country. Physiocrats placed their emphasis on productive work (on the land) as the source of national wealth, not the ruler's accumulation of gold or favourable balance of trade. Physiocrats were supporters of farmers, for sure. We call them physiocrats, but they would have called themselves economistes (there should an accent on that first 'e', but I don't know how to do it in Blogger, and my French is so rusty I'd probably get it wrong anyway, but I think it should being going up and to the right). We don't call them that because that would be confusing for modern economists. We call them "physiocrats" because it comes from the Greek, it means something like "Government of Nature". I feel like the dad from "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" now, give me a word, any word, and I will tell you how that word comes from Greek. I hope this solves that burning question.
I asked about the physiocrats since they were on the social 10-1 study guide for Chapter 7 quiz.

And this is why I ask you to state your initials and class and section. I was wondering if that was a 30-1 or a 10-1 student.
Mr.Gilchrist,
For background information, do we have to describe the people who were living in the country before it was colonized or after?
for the imperialism project, does the timeline have to be like a line with little pointy things saying the date and what happened, or can i just do bullet points?

-------------------
Before colonization. We want to really look at the impact of imperialism on indigenous peoples.

----------------------
If you are doing a PowerPoint presentation, you might have a slide for each important event, and then yes, you can have bullet points.
oh i need to explain each event in detail?

Explain it, but don't go crazy with the detail.
Mr g.
1)did the colonization of India start in 1501??
2)How would far do you think the timeline of India's imperialiam would go until?
3) do we have to have one slide per event in our timeline?
