Social 10-1

We finished looking at the graphics from yesterday's activity and their connection to globalization. We played a game of global bingo today, and collected information from classmates. DON"T LOSE THIS INFORMATION!! You have a homework assignment tonight: find 25 household items from 25 DIFFERENT countries. Some potential categories for the items that you will probably find in your house includes: food, clothing, electronics, entertainment, and miscellaneous. Please record all of your information in a 3 column chart. I will be doing a homework check on this 25 item chart tomorrow.

IB 20

We continued looking at issues related to historiography today. I talked briefly about primary versus secondary sources, and we also discussed your personal timelines. Our discussions led us into a film study of "Vantage Point" which looks at an assassination of the President of the United States from 8 different perspectives (vantage points). As you're watching this film please think about what limitations there might be from their perspective. We'll finish this film off tomorrow.

Please remember that your IB learner profile reflective essay is due on Friday. It might be a good idea to pick the 3 attributes from the IB learner profile tonight and start brainstorming ideas/examples of how you have demonstrated that attribute in your academic career. Try to write a rough draft of essay as well tonight.

IB 30/35

I did a homework check on the "White Light/Black Rain" film study sheets. You had time in class today to prep for Friday's 3 option debate on the decision to use the atomic bombs at the end of WWII. You got the results of your IA back today. You'll have all of tomorrow's class to get your TOK group presentations organized.
