September 18


We spent the bulk of today's class period in a computer lab working on the Internal Assessment. Some of you have started working the IA assignment Phase I, which is due on Monday, September 24th. We'll get back into the American Revolution this week.

You had a work period today to get your Chapter 4 Key Terms and Questions done. These key terms and questions are due on Thursday. I'll be going through a lecture tomorrow that covers opportunities and challenges of globalization, which connects to Chapter 4 and 5 material. One week from today, you'll be writing your Chapter 1-2 Test. Please see the study guide below. I will probably be moving your Chapter 3-4 Test to next week as well because we're moving faster through Unit 1 than I have in the past.

This test is on Tuesday, September 25th.
  1. Study your Chapter 1 and 2 Key Terms
  2. Review the case studies from the textbook in Chapters 1 and 2, specifically the Metis, the Francophones, the Hmong, and the Maori
  3. Be prepared to answer any of the "Questions for Inquiry" from Chapters 1 and 2 (they are on the following pages: p.9, p.14, p.20, p.29, p.35, p.39):
  • How does globalization affect economic aspects of people's lives?
  • How does globalization affect social aspects of people's lives?
  • How does globalization affect political aspects of people's lives?
  • What is the difference between individual and collective identity?
  • What is the relationship between identity and language?
  • How does cultural exchange shape people's identities?
4. Make sure that you can answer the questions from the Unit 1 Worksheet for these chapters.


You wrote your Unit 1 WRA I today. If you missed class today, you will have to write it on Wednesday. If you missed the Chapter 1-2 Test on Friday, then you need write it during tutorial tomorrow. I'll give you back your results for the Unit 1 Final Exam tomorrow
