March 1


I did a homework check on your  "Bend it Like Beckham" film study booklet today, and I gave you some time to finish up your Chapter 5 Key Terms and Questions, which are due tomorrow. 

  • "Bend it Like Beckham" Film Study Booklet is due tomorrow
  • Chapter 3-4 Test is on Friday, March 3rd
  • Unit 1 WRA I is on Monday, March 6th
  • Unit 1 Final Exam is on Tuesday, March 7th (please see study guide below
This test will be written on Friday, March 3rd. It is a matching test with a long answer section. 
  • Know the key terms from Chapter 3-4
  • Be able to answer the Questions for Inquiry in Chapters 3-4 (they appear on p.49, p.53, p.58, p.73, p.80)
  • Know relevant case studies from Chapters 3-4: the Francophones, the Aborigines and the Lubicon, as well as other relevant examples related to assimilation, marginalization, accommodation and integration


Unit 1 Final Exam will be Tuesday, March 7th. The format for the exam is entirely multiple choice. It will consist of 55 multiple choice questions, 60-65% of the questions will be "source-based" questions, while the remainder will be simply knowledge and comprehension style questions. In other words, the source-based questions will use political cartoons, timelines, a chart or diagram, a graph, a reading, a photo or a map, and you will have answer questions related to that source. The source-based questions will be difficult to prepare for. You must have a firm grasp of the concepts and key terms that were introduced in Unit 1, because that will allow you to apply the knowledge that you have to answer the multiple choice questions.

Please study your key terms from Chapters 1-5, and the topics covered in that unit.
