September 21

We started watching Ken Burns' documentary "The Civil War" Episode 1: The Cause today in class. We'll continue with this episode on Monday. TOK Civil War Presentations start on Tuesday.
You wrote your Chapter 1-2 Test yesterday. Please remember that your Illustrated Concept Map assignment is due on Monday. Your Chapter 3 and 4 Key Terms and Questions will be taken in at that time for homework check marks. Your Chapter 3-4 Test is on Wednesday, September 26th, please see the study guide below.
  • Know the key terms from Chapter 3-4
  • Be able to answer the Questions for Inquiry in Chapters 3-4 (they appear on p.49, p.53, p.58, p.73, p.80)
  • Know relevant case studies from Chapters 3-4: the Francophones, the Aborigines and the Lubicon, as well as other relevant examples related to assimilation, marginalization, accommodation and integration
You watched "The Story of Us" yesterday in class. We'll be looking at the French-Indian War as well on Monday. You will have an Enlightenment Thinkers Quiz in Monday's class. The thinkers to concentrate on are: Voltaire, Rousseau, Locke, Smith, Quesnay, and Montesquieu. You need to know their major works, major ideas, quotes associated with these thinkers. It is a matching quiz, but it will be very hard, especially if you haven't studied for it. If you study for it, using your notes, and the "Age of Enlightenment" PowerPoint that is up on the wiki under The Development of Western European Society, you should do well. I am still waiting for a few projects on your assigned Enlightenment and Scientific Revolution thinkers. These were due this week, but due me being away yesterday some of you may not have wished to hand it in to a substitute. Please send it to me ASAP, if you haven't done so already. If it's a Prezi, send me a link to the Prezi. The rest can be sent by e-mail, no more excuses! Presentations for the Thirteen Colonies will start on Tuesday.
