Social 10-1

We continued looking at our World Without Oil ARG, and how to connect to our World Without Oil site. Please make sure that you post your reactions to the oil shock there by Wednesday. I collected your TNC Dossier Assignments at the beginning of class today. Tomorrow, you have a homework assignment due, and it is a written response to article that appeared in National Geographic Magazine's January 2008 issue. Here is the link to the article. After reading this article, please write a response to the article (about 1 page in length) in which you answer the following question: What can be done to make e-waste more environmentally friendly, and increase the sustainability of this industry?

Don't forget that your Unit 3 Final Exam is fast approaching. Here is the study guide:

Unit 3 Final Exam Study Guide:

Please make sure that you have read Chapters 10-14. Please make sure that you have the following PowerPoint presentations, and that you study from them:

I started a presentation today that I will finish off tomorrow called "Internationalism and Nationalism". This presentation corresponds to material found in Chapter 10 and 11 in your textbook, with a healthy supply of supplementary material thrown in as well. I gave you the remainder of class time to work on your Chapter 12 Key Terms and Questions, which are due on Thursday, December 11th. Please remember that your Chapter 11 Key Terms and Questions are due tomorrow.
I have also set a date for the Unit 3 Final Exam, it'll be on Wednesday, December 17th. If you are away on this day, it had better be an excused absence. Some of you may be cross-country skiing that day, if so, you will write the test the next day. I will post the study guide for the Unit 3 Final in tomorrow's post on the blog.
