Social 10-1
I collected your Chapter 6 Key Terms and Questions at the beginning of class, and I will give these back to you on Monday. After some delay, we were able to do an activity based around the story "The Rabbits". These book addresses some of the themes that we'll be looking at Unit 2, such as cultural contact, assimilation, imperialism, differing world views, and residential schools. There's no homework this weekend.

Today we played a simulation game of a fictional peace conference whose task it was to prevent the outbreak of the First World War. It's very difficult to "win" at this game and prevent the outbreak of the war. As you could probably see national interests came into play, as did the issue of sovereignty with regard to Austria-Hungary's ultimatum to Serbia. Many of the major European powers were committed to alliances and a foreign policy that almost pre-determined their course of action. Old hatreds and past defeats led to some of the European powers to follow the course of action that they did. I hope that you enjoyed the simulation. We'll have some time next week to do a little bit more debriefing on this simulation. Please remember that you have your Unit 1 Final Exam on Monday, October 6th. Here's the study guide (scroll down to find it).

--------------------------
There may be some important dates on the Unit Final on Monday, however, I'm not going to list them all off. Instead, what I will do is give you some advice and remind you of something that I said in class. On multiple choice questions I tend to not ask questions like, "What important event happened on June 6, 1944?" Instead, what I would do is give you a list of key events (such as during the French Revolution). Each event would be labelled with a letter or Roman numerals, and then you would be asked to put the events in chronological order. There will, in all likelihood, be questions like that on the Unit Final. I'll give you an example of what this might look like:
Please use the following events to answer the next question:
W. Tennis Court Oath
X. Calling of the Estates General
Y. Execution of Louis XVI
Z. Declaration of the Rights of Man
Which of following is the correct chronological order for the above events?
A. WXYZ
B. XWZY
C. ZYXW
D. XZWY
Please refer to the French Revolution timeline and the Napoleon Bonaparte timeline on the wiki (you can find them in the Collaborative Notes section, under Unit 1). I hope that this helps.
what would be the answer to your question above? A?
Nope, B is the answer.
