Social 20-1

I finished off "The French Revolution" lecture today, so if you missed class today, you'll need to get notes from a classmate. Your Chapter 2 Key Terms and Questions are due Monday, February 12th. Don't forget that you have your World Geography Test on Monday (please see the study guide below).

SOCIAL 20-1 WORLD GEOGRAPHY TEST STUDY GUIDE:

This test will take place on Monday, February 12th. 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• any of the EU countries (there are 28 countries in the EU, a map of the EU is in your textbook on page 265, but it's out of date, it says that there's 27 countries in the EU.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!!**

I did a homework check on your Chapter 1 Key Terms and Questions, and I collected your global connections map too. If you were away today, you will not be penalized for either the homework check or map assignment for being late if it's handed in tomorrow. I also gave out the big Unit 1 assignment on hybridization and universalization, and some people have selected their topic. If you missed class today, please pick up the assignment sheet and pick a topic tomorrow. You'll be building an infographic for this assignment, here are some links to websites that allow you to make your own infographic:
