February 17


You wrote your Unit 1 Final Exam today. If you missed today's class due to illness (make sure that it is an excused absence) or the field trip to Telus Spark with the Sports Medicine class, you'll be writing this exam tomorrow. My preference would be for you to write it in a spare, so please make arrangements for this. You should get the results of your Chapter 1-2 Test and the Unit 1 Final Exam tomorrow. You got the essay question sheet for Thursday's Unit 1 WRA II Essay. You should be preparing for this essay!! You're allowed to write notes on the essay question sheet at the bottom front page, so please take advantage of this!



Period 2 class, here is your source for Thursday's essay:
"No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main...any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind..."

If you agree with this source's perspective, your OSAs would be pro-individualism, and your arguments would be pro-collectivist. If you disagree with the source, your OSAs would be pro-collectivism, and your arguments would be pro-individualism.


Period 1 class, here is your source for Thursday's essay:
"Man is a goal-seeking animal. His life only has meaning if he is reaching out and striving for his goals."

If you agree with this source's perspective, your OSAs would be pro-collectivism, and your arguments would be pro-individualism. If you disagree with the source's perspective, your OSAs would be pro-individualism, and your arguments would be pro-collectivism.



We watched an A & E Biography called "Napoleon Bonaparte: The Glory of France". As you watched this video you were to complete a timeline of significant events in Napoleon's life. You could also complete this timeline by using the timeline below. I also started a PowerPoint lecture on "The Napoleonic Age", which I should be able to finish off tomorrow. Don't forget that you have the Chapter 1-2 Test on Monday, February 23rd (please see the study guide below).



  • Study Chapter 1-2 Key Terms from the Unit 1 Worksheet (this will be what makes up the matching section of your test)
  • Study your answers to the questions from the Unit 1 Worksheet for Chapter 1-2 (short answer section questions come from this part of the worksheets)
  • "Nation and Identity" (Chapter 1 material + supplementary material)
  • "The French Revolution" (Chapter 2 material + supplementary material)
  • "The Napoleonic Age" (Chapter 2 material + supplementary material; you can find this on the wiki, and I will go through it in class in the next couple of days)
