We covered a PowerPoint lecture called "The Enlightenment" today in class. You'll be tested on this material tomorrow with the Enlightenment Thinkers Quiz (please see study guide below). Your Chapter 1 Key Terms and Questions are due tomorrow. On Friday, you'll be writing a World Geography Test (please see the study guide below).

SOCIAL 20-1 WORLD GEOGRAPHY TEST STUDY GUIDE
This test will take place on Friday, September 16th. It is simply a country identification test. You will be given a world map with certain countries identified and you need to be able to write out what country it is. Here are the countries that may appear on the test:
- any of the EU countries (there are 28 countries in the EU, a map of the EU is in your textbook on page 265, but it's out of date, it says that there's 27 countries in the EU. I'm not even talking about Brexit here...)
- any of the NATO countries (there's some overlap here with the EU, but not all EU countries are members of NATO)
- any of the G8 countries: Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Russia, the United States, and the United Kingdom
- full members of MERCOSUR: Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay and other associate members or countries that are achieving membership in MERCOSUR, such as: Venezuela, Bolivia, Peru, Colombia, Ecuador
- to ask you to know ALL of the countries in the African Union would be cruel, so we'll focus on countries that came up last year or will likely be in the news this year: Chad, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Egypt, Ethiopia, Kenya, Libya, Nigeria, Rwanda, Sierra Leone, Somalia, South Africa, Sudan, Zimbabwe
- other very important countries that will be in the news this year, or that we'll be talking about, or get mentioned in your textbook: Cuba, Mexico, Jamaica, Serbia, Georgia, China,
India, Myanmar, Australia, New Zealand, Indonesia, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq,
Israel - **BIG HINT: if a country is a member of a few of these international organizations then there's a STRONG possibility that they will be on the test!!**
GEOGRAPHY GAMES
- World Geography Games
- Test Your Geography Knowledge
- Maps.com Online Games (the "Find It" games are excellent!)
IB 20
We started talking about the Enlightenment today, and I'll finish off teaching you the content tomorrow. You'll be writing a quiz on this topic on Wednesday, September 14th (I'll post the study guide tomorrow here on the blog). I'll be giving you an assignment on Enlightenment thinkers tomorrow as well. We should be looking our region of study (the Americas) for the first time tomorrow.
