September 14


I finished off the Google Slides lecture on the French-Indian War. I also went through a booklet on the Internal Assessment with you today. We'll talk more about the IA on Monday. Please have a finalized research question for your IA ready for Monday's class. 



You wrote your Chapter 1-2 Test today. You have your Unit 1 Final Exam on Monday, September 17th (please see the study guide below). On Tuesday, you're writing the Unit 1 WRA I , so please try to write the WRA I Sample practice over the weekend.  Please visit the PBS Frontline for "Sick Around the World" this weekend. You can find charts and readings on this documentary in your Social 30-1 coursebooks. 

The Unit 1 Final is a 55 question multiple choice test. It will be written on Monday, September 17th. Make sure that you study the following:

  • Chapter 1 and 2 Key Terms (please see the Chapter 1-2 Test Study Guide for a list of terms
  • Study the Ideology Notes (Black Gold School District PDF file, on the Social 30-1 wiki, and in your study booklets, pages 17-22)
  • Review Hobbes, Locke and Rousseau (view of the nature of human beings, how society should be organized, people's role in society; notes on page 3 of your study booklet)

  • Know the values and ideas associated with the various ideologies (on the 19th century and 20th century spectrums)
  • Study the Individualism and Collectivism booklet that is in your study booklets (pages 4-7)
  • you need to be able to apply your knowledge and understanding of these concepts/ideas
  • there are a lot of source-based questions on this exam! (there are references to Nazi Germany, the USSR)


You wrote your World Geography Test today. We finished watching "Whale Rider" today in class. Your Chapter 2 Key Terms and Questions are due on Monday as well. This would be a good weekend to get started on Universalization and Hybridization infographic assignment. You could do this in Google Drawings. I'll be inviting you to make a copy of a Superhero Playground, to learn how to use Google Drawings. You could of course make your infographic using a web-based program. Here are some suggested websites for doing this:
