Social 10-1

We finished watching "Bend it Like Beckham" today, and I gave you some time to finish up the film study guide that went along with this film. You're going to be handing in that film study booklet tomorrow for homework check marks. You are writing your Chapter 3-4 Test this Friday (please see the study guide below), and your Unit 1 Final Exam one week from today, on March March 7th (please see the study guide below). You are writing your Unit 1 WRA I on March 6th, and I will give you some sample political cartoons and tips for the writing the three source analysis assignment in Thursday's class.

Upcoming Important Dates for Social 10-1 Students:

• "Bend it Like Beckham" Film Study Booklet is due tomorrow

• Unit 1 WRA I is on Monday, March 6th
• Unit 1 Final Exam is on Tuesday, March 7th (please see study guide below

CHAPTER 3-4 TEST STUDY GUIDE:

This test will be written on Friday, March 3rd. It is a matching test with a long answer section. 

• 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

SOCIAL 10-1 UNIT 1 FINAL EXAM STUDY GUIDE:

Unit 1 Final Exam will be Tuesday, March 7th. The format for the exam is entirely multiple choice. It will consist of 55 multiple choice questions, 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.

Social 20-1

I went through how to write a WRA I assignment today in class. All of the handouts that you got today, you will be able to use while you are writing tomorrow's WRA I. I also took in your French Revolution DBA assignment today, so if you didn't hand this in you have lost 10% on this assignment. There were four of you that didn't hand it in, but only two of you have a legitimate excuse for not getting it in today. You may have guessed that I have already marked this assignment, you'll get it back tomorrow (if someone reminds me). One week from today, you will be writing your Chapter 3-4 Test, please see the study guide below.
