We finished off with the envelopes filled with globalization images today, and then we played a little "Global Bingo" today as well (don't lose those sheets, you'll need them for a subsequent mapping assignment). You have some homework tonight: you must create a 25 item chart (please see instructions below). I gave you some time to work on your Chapter 1 Key Terms and Questions today, these will be due on Thursday, February 8th. You will have a World Geography Test next Monday, the study guide for this test is in today's post (scroll down).

25 Item Chart Instructions:

  • find 25 items from 25 different countries (you can't have 5 items from one country!)
  • find items from any of the following categories: food, clothing, electronics, household goods, entertainment, and miscellaneous (if it doesn't fit into any of the previous categories)
  • you must have a minimum of 5 categories (in other words, you can't have 25 food items from 25 different countries)
  • don't just find items from one category (for example, 25 food items)
  • try to find 4-6 items from each category
  • collect your information about your items in a 3-column chart (item, country, category)
  • don't assume that an item is from a particular country (for example, a Sony PS3 may be manufactured in Indonesia, Malaysia or South Korea, that is the information that we want
  • for entertainment, for example a CD (or MP3) we want to know where the recording artist is from, not where the CD was manufactured, this will better illustrate social globalization
    when you are collecting the information for your chart, number off the items (1-25) and have the categorized separate (in other words, the first 5 items on your chart should belong to the same category, etc.)
  • the more organized your chart is, the easier it will be to put that information on to a map!

SOCIAL 10-1 WORLD GEOGRAPHY TEST STUDY GUIDE:


This test will take place on Monday, February 12th. It is simply a country and capital cities identification test. You will be given a world map with certain countries, capital cities, and places 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 27 countries in the EU)
  • 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: Democratic Republic of the Congo, Egypt, Nigeria, South Africa, Sudan
  • 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, China, India, Myanmar (Burma), Australia, New Zealand, Indonesia, Pakistan, Philippines, 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!!**
