We started looking at preparing for next week's WRA II Essay. We looked at answering the question: "How would you convince a friend to attend Churchill?" (what arguments would you use to convince them to come to our school?) This lead to you working individually in idea generation of arguments. Then we talked about the difference between statements of fact versus contentions. We then discussed as a class the evidence that would go with an argument focused on proving that Churchill is a strong academic high school. We'll talk more about argumentation and evidence tomorrow when we get to looking at the "recipe for success" in argumentative essay writing. Please remember that you have your Unit 1 Final Exam on Wednesday (I moved it one day), please see the study guide below.
SOCIAL 10-1 UNIT 1 FINAL EXAM STUDY GUIDE:
Unit 1 Final Exam will be Wednesday, March 9th. 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. 1. Key Terms/Key Concepts in Unit 1:
globalization
pluralistic society
transnationals
