Week of February 28th to March 4th

Monday/Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday
1. Quiz - Open booklet quiz on Conscription
2. The End of the War
3. Begin Project for WWI - bring your creativity hats :-)

Friday
1. Chapter Two Test - Note that I will not be doing a review day for this test. I will give you a review sheet that covers the majority of things that we have covered. I recommend, as I always do, to make flashcards, study with a friend, and go over notes, powerpoints, and worksheets. **Use the CHAPTER TWO BOOKLET to your advantage!

*The project that we start on Monday/Tuesday will be due the week after on March 7th*

Freaky Friday is HERE!

What is Freaky Friday you ask?
It is the one day of the week that I will give you a quiz on ANYTHING that I have taught you. That means things that you learned at the beginning of February all the way to what you learned today. Worried? You don't need to be IF you have been keeping up with studying as we go along!
Good Luck tomorrow!

Study Tips

As listed in my previous post you have a Government Unit Exam on Thursday (this week). I thought I would post some tips for studying.

1. Make flashcards for key words AND ideas.
2. Study with a friend from class using flashcards.
3. Read one section at a time (usually about 1 to 2 pages). As you read don't write notes - instead write questions that are based on what you are reading. For example, if you read a section that is based on the 5 main ideologies of the political spectrum, don't write down "the five main ideologies are communism, socialism, fascism, liberalism, and conservatism." Instead write down "what are the five main ideologies on the political spectrum?" or "what are the political beliefs of communist governments?" Trust me - this works!
4. Re-read the chapter.
5. Re-read your notes.
6. Re-read the powerpoints online (don't rely only on the powerpoints though!)
7. Go online to the BC Ministry of Education site (there's a link to the right of this post) and study questions 1 to 11 (approximately). These are all GOVERNMENT questions (on all four of the provincials that are online).

Week of February 14th to February 18th

Both Classes:

Monday/Tuesday -
1. Quiz 6
2. Complete chapter 10

FLASHMOB! Don't know what that is??? Watch the video!!!

Here's the tip of the day :)

For tomorrow's quiz. Make sure you know about:
- The Canadian Bill of Rights

Good luck and have fun studying!
