March 10


Most of today's class was spent writing a WRA I three source analysis on the early stages of the Cold War.

I split you into two teams for our upcoming debate on the following topic: "Be it resolved that globalization harms the world's cultures." For part of the period you were able to read an article that supported your side of the debate's position, and then you were given a reading that covered the opposing side's perspective. We will have this debate on Thursday. Please remember that you'll be writing your Unit 1 Final Exam tomorrow, please see the study guide below.



Unit 1 Final Exam will be Tuesday, March 11th. The format for the exam is entirely multiple choice.For this multiple choice test, 60-65% of the questions will be "source-based" questions, while the remainder will be simply knowledge and comprehension style questions. In other words, the source-based questions will use political cartoons, timelines, a chart or diagram, a graph, a reading, a photo or a map, and you will have answer questions related to that source. The source-based questions will be difficult to prepare for. You must have a firm grasp of the concepts and key terms that were introduced in Unit 1, because that will allow you to apply the knowledge that you have to answer the multiple choice questions.

Please study your key terms from Chapters 1-5, and the topics covered in that unit.
