September 11

I finished off "The French Revolution" PowerPoint lecture today. This presentation can be found in your blue Social Studies 20-1 study booklets, as well as on the Social 20-1 wiki. I gave you the remainder of class time to work on your Chapter 2 Key Terms and Questions, these are due on Friday. Your World Geography Test is on Friday as well, and you can find the study guide for this test here. Your Chapter 1-2 Test will be on Thursday, September 19th. I will post the study guide for this test on the blog tomorrow.
I finished off talking about WRA II Essays today. I'll post some sample essays up on the wiki prior to your Unit 1 WRA II Essay, which is happening on Tuesday, September 17th. Your Unit 1 Final Exam is on Monday (September 16th) and you can find the study guide here. Your Chapter 1-2 Test is on Friday, September 13th, please find the study guide here.
We began to examine the nature of slavery in the United States. I went through the PowerPoint presentation called "US Slavery" which is on the IB 30/35 wiki in the United States Civil War section. I have also uploaded Mrs. Breadner's notes on different views of slavery as well in this section. It is also highly recommended that you print off and read the Slavery in the USA notes as well. We started watching a video from the U.S. History series called "Slavery and Freedom". We'll finish off this video tomorrow. We'll also look at some of the data tables from Time on the Cross, and begin looking at life in the antebellum South. You'll have a current events quiz on Friday, so please start adding events to the wiki.
