I collected your friendly letters at the beginning of class. We played global bingo today, and a few of you will get prizes next week. You have a homework assignment tonight, you need to find 25 items from 25 different countries, and put the information that you collect into a chart. It would probably be smart to categorize the information right from the beginning, since you will have to use this data when you use it for an upcoming mapping assignment.You will have a World Geography Test next Friday, the study guide for this test can be found in today's post on the blog if you scroll down completely.

25 Item Chart Instructions:

• find 25 items from 25 different countries (you can't have 5 items from one country!)
• find items from any of the following categories: food, clothing, electronics, household goods, entertainment, and miscellaneous (if it doesn't fit into any of the previous categories)
• don't just find items from one category (for example, 25 food items)
• try to find 4-6 items from each category
• collect your information about your items in a 3-column chart (item, country, category)
• don't assume that an item is from a particular country (for example, a Sony PS4 may be manufactured in Indonesia, Malaysia or South Korea, that is the information that we want
• for entertainment, for example a CD (or MP3) we want to know where the recording artist is from, not where the CD was manufactured, this will better illustrate social globalization
  when you are collecting the information for your chart, number off the items (1-25) and have the categorized separate (in other words, the first 5 items on your chart should belong to the same category, etc.)
• the more organized your chart is, the easier it will be to put that information on to a map!

Social 10-1

You wrote your Chapter 3-4 Test today. Please remember that you have your Unit 1 WRA I on Monday, and your Unit 1 Final Exam on Tuesday of next week (please see the study guide below).

SOCIAL 10-1 UNIT 1 FINAL EXAM STUDY GUIDE:

Unit 1 Final Exam will be Tuesday, March 7th. 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.
