Social 10
Today, I delivered a PowerPoint presentation which tied up some loose ends. I will be sending it out later tonight. Also, we talked about the election campaign again, and developments related to the major party's platforms. Here is the study guide for the upcoming Government Test, which will be next Tuesday. It will consist of 50 multiple choice questions.
Government Test Study Guide:
1. Key Concepts (see outline)
- most of these concepts can be found in the initial PowerPoint presentation that I delivered with this theme
2. Structure and Function of Government (see outline, I'm doing this from memory):
- focus on the first PowerPoint, and notes that you took from the videos
- executive, legislative, judicial branches
- BNA Act (1867)
- Constitution Act (1982)
- powers and responsibilities of the branches of government
- federalism/federal system
- how a bill becomes a law
- House of Commons and Senate
- roles of the constitutional monarchy
3. The Role of Pressure Groups and the Media (focus on today's presentation) in the Government

Will we be getting the marks for our project this week? thx
the social 10 test isnt a unit test is it?
For the green party i can only find 2005 policies
The Social 10 Test is a 50 question multiple choice question test. If you want to call it a unit final that would be accurate. It will be weighted the same as your Regionalism, Identity and Sovereignty unit finals. You need to study for it. Don't wing it.
As for the other comment, I'm assuming that this is a Social 10 student. The answer is "no". My marking priority for this week is my Social 23 class. You will get your Social 10 projects next week (hopefully).

Go to the link above, then read every story up to the ones Nov. 29, 2005. These include a biased view on the Greens' foes' actions and how the Greens will counter it.
