Today, I handed out an outline to each student which lists what we will be doing everyday through to the end of the term. I have inserted it below.
I then did a quick powerpoint introduction to Unit Four and gave them questions to answer on Chapter 15 (also inserted below). If you were not here, these are due tomorrow.

Social Studies 10-1
Outline from Jan. 4 to January 21

This is a list of what we will be doing from now until the end of the term. It is important that you examine it and, as everyone reads at different paces, that you prepare your time now to make sure you are ahead of the game when the dates hit (chapter readings). Also, you will need to make time to study and know the terminology we have examined (in the Glossary which starts on page 426 of your text). Keep in mind that your final consists of two parts: one written and one multiple choice.

INSTRUCTIONS: On a separate sheet of paper, neatly answer the following questions as indicated. This is to be done independently. Working with others will be defined as plagiarism. If you have questions or concerns, address them to me.
