June 3


I went through the study guide for Thursday's Contemporary World Test. This test will be 50 multiple choice questions with no writing assignment. I went through some important links that I've put up under Social 33 Links as well, please check the last three hyperlinks under Social 33 Links, they will be really useful to you as you prepare for your Diploma Exam. I then gave you a handout labelled "Contemporary World" that contained lots of key organizations and concepts that you need to know for Thursday's test and ultimately, your Diploma Exam. Also, I gave you a handout that you had to complete on major economic organizations in the world today. No homework tonight, but you should be studying and preparing for that test on Thursday, please check yesterday's post for the study guide.



For most of the period today I showed you three excerpts from a video called "Where is the World Going, Mr. Stiglitz?" Was this video challenging to understand? Absolutely, but I think it will benefit you to have listened to this video. Tomorrow you have your Unit 4 Final Exam, which consists of 30 multiple choice questions and a Part A In-Class Writing Assignment. You won't be able to do any brainstorming in small groups before writing the Part A unfortunately. Please budget your time accordingly.

This scarf, for example, will still cost you $58. The company is fiercely protecting its image as a "premium" brand, and, as a result, it's getting snubbed big time by its once cultlike, ever-loyal fan base abercrombie
