Today, we began a learning unit which ties to your finals for this section. You were given a source based question to analyze and answer (in essay form), but we spent the class analyzing what the sources were about and then examining the question and the expectations (which I have inserted below). I cannot insert the sources so I will put the assignment in your portfolio. This is an open book essay and will be tweaked for almost two weeks. In other words, the purpose is to ensure you have successfully mastered the approaches and skills needed to handle one of these. See me tomorrow early if you have any questions or concerns. You will be working on it tomorrow and Monday.
How to Meet the Objectives of the Social Studies 10

For this type of essay, you will be provided with a number of sources and a question to answer. In order to do well, you will need to do the following:
· address each of the sources in your writing (source 1, II, III and type)
· explain each source (what it is about)
· show a perspective on each source (the position it was written from)
· apply Social Studies knowledge and understanding to each source (again, what it is explaining as it relates to what you have learned about globalization)
· discuss the links between each source and the theme (s)(the theme(s) come from examining the sources and seeing a topic that appears in each)
· identify and explain the relationships that exist among the sources (what is common)
· present a strong, clear thesis
· make references to the sources as you use your own examples to prove your point
· use precise vocabulary
