Social 10-1

We started a presentation today called "Historical Globalization and Imperialism". Chapter 7 Key Terms and Questions are due on Friday, March 16th.

You have your Unit 1 Final Exam on Wednesday, March 21st, please see the study guide below. 

SOCIAL 10-1 UNIT 1 FINAL EXAM STUDY GUIDE:

Unit 1 Final Exam will be Wednesday, March 21st. 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.

One week from today, on March 21st you will be writing your Unit 2 WRA I, but you will have to do it without the help of the analyzing political cartoons sheet or the student writing guide (colorful sheet of paper). I've moved the due date for your Chapter 5 Key Terms and Questions to Friday, March 16th.
