You wrote your Chapter 3-4 Test today in class. Please remember to go directly to Room 241 tomorrow for your class. We're going to do some practice WRA Is in Google Docs in preparation for your Unit 1 WRA I next week (Wednesday, October 3rd). Please remember that I've moved the Unit 1 Final Exam to Tuesday, October 2nd. You can find the study guide below.
SOCIAL 10-1 UNIT 1 FINAL EXAM STUDY GUIDE:
Unit 1 Final Exam will be Tuesday, October 2nd. 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.
