I went through a lecture called "Identity and Ideology" today. Please make sure that you read, highlight and annotate the Ideology Notes (pages 17-22) in the coursebooks. I will also share the Unit 1 Google Doc with you this afternoon. As a class you will be working on this Google Doc together, it will include all of the key terms, notes, and questions.

I finished off the "Nation and Identity" lecture today. You also had time to work on your Chapter 1 Key Terms and Questions, which are due on Tuesday, September 10th. One week from today, you are 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 13th. 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- any of the EU countries (there are 28 countries in the EU, a map of the EU is in your textbook on page 265, but it's out of date, it says that there's 27 countries in the EU.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!!**
