September 12


You wrote your World Geography Test at the beginning of class today, which took about 30 minutes. I gave you the remainder of class time to read Chapter 2 in Perspectives on Globalization and to complete the Chapter 2 Key Terms and Questions (which are due on Monday), so hopefully you don't have that for homework. Please don't forget that you have your Illustrated Concept Map Assignment due on Thursday, September 18th, so this is the only weekend that you'll have to work on it. I would expect you to get most of the work completed on it this weekend, so budget your time! I've put up some examples around the classroom, so have a look. I've posted the assignment itself on the wiki, under Unit 1 Assignments, as well as the rubric, so please have a look at the rubric. It is VERY important to know how you are being assessed on this assignment.


You wrote your World Geography Test today. We then finished watching the History Channel video on the French Revolution. I think that the video should help pull your understanding of the causes and events of the French Revolution a little better. I want to point again that I have put a timeline of the French Revolution on the wiki, you can find a link to it under Collaborative Notes. We'll be starting our examination of Napoleon Bonaparte's impact on European history next week. On Monday, I will post a study guide on the blog for your Chapter 1-2 Quiz (which is on the following Monday, September 22nd).

For the illustrated concept map. If we are getting the pictures off the internet do they have to be in color.

Not necessarily. Some of the visual examples that I had in one of our opening activities was a black and white political cartoon on globalization. Just try not to have all black and white images, you want your concept map to have visual appeal.
