September 25


We finished off the "Revolution" episode of America: The Story of Us today, and then I also showed you a video from the U.S. History series called "The American Revolution". You might want to also check out the Crash Course in American History video below as well. We just started talking about the Declaration of Independence at the end of the class too. We'll talk more about this founding document and others tomorrow and in the days to come. Please bring your History of the Americas textbook to class tomorrow as well.



You wrote your Chapter 1-2 Test today. You're writing your Chapter 3-4 Test on Thursday (please see the study guide below). You should have also handed in your "Bend it Like Beckham" film study booklets as well today.

This test will be written on Thursday, September 27th. 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


We continued looking at preparing for the Unit 1 WRA II Essay by looking at what I call the "recipe for success". We'll be doing more essay preparation tomorrow for Thursday's Unit 1 WRA II Essay.
