Social 20-1
I shared your marks for the Enlightenment Thinkers Quiz at the beginning of class today. We started a film study of a History Channel documentary on "The French Revolution", and we'll finish it tomorrow. Please remember that your Chapter 2 Key Terms and Questions are due tomorrow. You're also writing your World Geography Test tomorrow (please see the study guide below). One week from today, on September 22nd, you'll be writing your Chapter 1-2 Test (please see the study guide below).
SOCIAL 20-1 WORLD GEOGRAPHY TEST STUDY GUIDE:
This test will take place on Friday, September 16th. It is simply a country identification test. You will be given a world map with certain countries identified and you need to be able to write out what country it is. Here are the countries that may appear on the test:
- any of the EU countries (there are 28 countries in the EU, a map of the EU is in your textbook on page 265, but it's out of date, it says that there's 27 countries in the EU. I'm not even talking about Brexit here...)
- 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
We watched a little bit more of "America: The Story of Us" today, but stopped before we got completely into the American Revolution. I'll be backtracking a bit tomorrow by covering the French-Indian War. I went through Mr. Johnson's PowerPoint overview of the IA, and I answered some questions about the IA. We'll be talking about the French-Indian War tomorrow and maybe a little bit more about expectations for Monday's class in the library.
