Social 10-1
I returned some homework assignments and your global connections map as well. I gave you the Illustrated Concept Map assignment. I really recommend that you work with a partner for this assignment. You had the rest of the class period to work with your partner doing some initial thinking about how you would organize your concept maps. I have posted the rubric (marking guide) for this assignment on the Social 10-1 wiki under Unit 1 Assignments. The Illustrated Concept Map is due on February 27th. Your Chapter 2 Key Terms and Questions are due on Wednesday, February 19th.
World Geography Test Study Guide:
This test will take place on Wednesday, February 19th. It is simply a country identification test. You will be given a world map with certain countries identified by number and you need to be able to write out what country it is on the answer sheet.
Here are the countries that may appear on the test:
- any of the EU countries (there are 28 countries in the EU, your textbook is out of date. Croatia joined the EU in July 2013)
- any of the NATO countries (there's some overlap here with the EU, but not all EU countries are members of NATO)
- any of the G8 countries: Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Russia, the United States, and the United Kingdom
- full members of MERCOSUR: Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay and other associate members or countries that are achieving membership in MERCOSUR, such as: Venezuela, Bolivia, Peru, Colombia, Ecuador
- to ask you to know ALL of the countries in the African Union would be cruel, so we'll focus on countries that came up last year or will likely be in the news this year: Chad, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Egypt, Ethiopia, Kenya, Libya, Nigeria, Rwanda, Sierra Leone, Somalia, South Africa, Sudan, Zimbabwe
- other very important countries that will be in the news this year, or that we'll be talking about, or get mentioned in your textbook: Cuba, Mexico, Jamaica, Serbia, Georgia, China, India, Myanmar, Australia, New Zealand, Indonesia, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, Israel
- **BIG HINT: if a country is a member of a few of these international organizations then there's a STRONG possibility that they will be on the test!!**

IB 20 HOTA
I showed you how to do an eLibrary search today, and how to access the Gale Virtual Reference Library. We then went down to the Blenheim Room to complete the IA planning sheet, to find a book that you could use for the IA as well. You must hand in your IA planning sheet on Wednesday, February 19th.
IB 30/35
I went through a PowerPoint lecture on "The Korean War". You can find notes on the Korean War on the IB 30/35 wiki under the Cold War section. I also want you to check out Mr. Johnson's PowerPoint presentation on Harry S. Truman's domestic policy. I also showed you a short documentary from the Turning Points of History series called "Crisis in Korea". Next Friday (February 21st) you will be writing a Paper 2 on the origins of the Cold War. Please check the wiki for historiography on the causes/origins of the Cold War.
