Social 10-1

We were in the Blue Lab for the second day in a row, this time you were writing in Google Doc working groups with a couple of different sets of WRA I samples. I will mark your group's Google Doc (probably this weekend) so you have some feedback on how well your group did. It will not be entered into my marks program, I'm just trying to give some feedback before you write the Unit 1 WRA I next week on Monday, March 5th.

Your next test is on Friday, March 2nd, please see the study guide below. 

CHAPTER 3-4 TEST STUDY GUIDE:

This test will be written on Friday, March 2nd. It is a matching test with a long answer section.

• 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)

SOCIAL 20-1

I did a homework check today on your Chapter 4 Key Terms and Questions. You wrote the Unit 1 WRA I during class. I don't think you'll get the results of the WRA I back this week, but we will see. My personal goal is to have them back to you on Monday, March 5th. You have your Chapter 3-4 Test tomorrow. 

CHAPTERS 3-4 TEST STUDY GUIDE:

This quiz will be on Tuesday, March 7th. It will consist of a matching section (10 key concepts) and a short answer section.

• make sure that you study the PowerPoint presentation "Contending Loyalties"
• make sure that you have read Chapters 3 and 4 (it is all testable material)
• know the key concepts/key terms from Chapters 3 and 4 (please see the Unit 1 Worksheet for these)
• study your answers to the Chapter 3 and 4 questions from the Unit 1 Worksheet (all could potentially be on the quiz)

IB 30/35

We watched a documentary today from the CNN Cold War series called "MAD", as you watched this film you should have taken notes on this one. You will be writing a Social 30-1 style WRA I one week from today on Wednesday, March 7th which you will be writing in the Blenheim Room.  Please remember that your Vietnam War Assignment is due on Monday (please see below).

You should check out the link to the video called "Duck and Cover". 





I also showed you the following YouTube video on nuclear tests since 1945: 

I also showed you a scene from the 1983 movie "War Games".
