I did a homework check on the Chapter 1 Key Terms and Questions and collected the global connections map assignment for those students that were away yesterday. Please remember that your Chapter 2 Key Terms and Questions are due on Monday. You'll be writing your World Geography Test on Monday, February 12th (please see the study guide below). We started a film study today on the movie "Whale Rider" which we'll finish off on Monday after the test.
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)
- capital cities of Canada, USA, Mexico, UK, France, Russia, India, China, Japan, Australia (among others)
- 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!!**
