Most of the students were able to finish their chapter questions yesterday, but I want to be fair to those who are away so I am not assignming any new ones today. Instead, we will examine the curriculum and see what knowledge we should have attained by now. What I will do with the students is look at the curriculum, generate questions with them (such as what concepts about imperialism should we know), discuss the case studies we have explored, and created greater understanding in preparation of their unit exam (next week some time... ). I will then post this information here after the class so that students who are absent will be able to access it.
Hi again. We ended up making a list of concepts for unit one. Basically we should all be able to define, identify and give examples of each of the following concepts.
Traditions
Identity
religion (this was discussed in class factually, with a focus on political strife as a result)
Christianity
spirituality
the arts
attire
relationship to land
ideal
ideology
ideological beliefs
role modeling
political globalization
economic globalization
social globalization
diversity
technology
media
universalization of pop culture
hybridization
language laws
linguistic rights
cultural content legislation
cultural revitalization
linguistic revitalization
when some one is not here it is not very nice not to tell them what is going on.
ReplyDelete... you were here... silly...
ReplyDeleteis the test still on the 9th and 10th or has the dates been changed?
ReplyDeleteMs. Benoit
ReplyDeleteAre these concepts ones we have to know for our exam next week? Is chapter 6, 7, and 8 part of this exam?
Thanks
Hi guys,
ReplyDeleteSydnie wants to know if teh date of the exam has been changed. Yes! I am planning on doing the Multiple Choice portion on Friday. As for teh essay, it will be the week after, but I am attempting to come up with something more helpful in the area of format... stay tuned. As for Sara, while the focus of the exam is on Part Two (chapters 6 to 9), the reality is that you will still be faced with concepts and terms from earlier which will appear. Think of it like math; one concept is mastered and then built upon.
