Social 20-1

You had the entire period to work on your Chapter 9 Key Terms and Questions. These are due on Thursday, May 17th. I collected the Unit 2 Research Projects (dossiers or Prezis) today. For every day that you hand an assignment in late you lose 10%. You should get your Unit 2 essays back tomorrow. We'll look at Canada's foreign policy tomorrow.

Social 10-1

I gave you the Unit 3 WRA II essay question sheet today, and a handout on how to analyze a source as well. I split you into groups and each group worked through an analysis of the source, and came up with one argument that agreed with the source's perspective and one against. You put all of that information on to a flip chart sheet. You also needed evidence to back up your position. Tomorrow, please go directly to Room 241, and when you're in class, take a photo of your group's sheet. I'll have a Google Doc set up and you will able to edit the Google Doc and analyze the source and put your arguments and evidence in the Google Doc. You won't be able to access the Google Doc on Thursday when you're writing the essay, so you'll need to write out what arguments and evidence you want on to your essay question sheet. The essay question sheet is the only thing that you'll be allowed to have out when you write your essay in class on Thursday. On Tuesday, May 22nd, you will be writing your Unit 3 Final Exam, please see the study guide below.
