September 15


I gave you some class time today to finish off the last exercises in your first Regionalism booklet. There is an essay-style question due for tomorrow, the topic of the question is related to factors that have led to the concentration of manufacturing in eastern Canada (mainly Ontario and Quebec).I then distributed your Promotional Brochure assignment, and discussed the requirements of this particular assignment. We will be going to the library tomorrow to do some research. This assignment will be due on Tuesday, September 20th. If you decide to do the extra credit component of this assignment, that will be due on the following Tuesday, September 27th, however, you will not receive any class time to complete it.

Upcoming important dates for Social 10:

  • Promotional Brochure due September 20th
  • Canadian Geography Quiz is on Monday, September 19th
  • Manufacturing essay question answer (good copy) is due tomorrow


Today we went over some of the answers to previous exercises and worksheets that you have completed. I also collected your three maps of Europe. We went over the answers to the Chapter 2 "Test", and the Age of Enlightenment crossword puzzle. I assigned the following quesions from the textbook for homework, all of which are from Chapter 2:

Just wondering what is important to study for the Social 10 test on Monday?
Do we need to know the regions, and information about them and their characteristics? Or should we just study everything in your booklets (including the maps?) Thanks

Here's what you should be concerned about when studying for the Canadian geography quiz: location of every province and territory, location of provincial and territorial capital cities, location of major bodies of water and rivers, location of major islands, being able to analyze and interpret information in maps.
