IB 30/35

We finished watching "The Causes of the Civil War" video that we started yesterday at the beginning of class today. We also finished off a PowerPoint lecture on the causes of the American Civil War today too. We'll talk about the Civil War briefly next week and hopefully get into the Reconstruction period as well, but that might be pushing it, since it is a short week next week. I have shared with you my last two major lectures on the Antebellum South and the Causes of the Civil War, so please add them to your Google Drive and put them into your Paper 3 folder. No homework this weekend.

Social 10-1

We finished off the "Legacies of Historical Globalization" lecture today. I did a homework check on your Chapter 7 Key Terms and Questions at the beginning of class as well. 

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.
