February 2-6

























For those of you new to my blogsite, it is intended to work alongside my website at: http://kbenoy.googlepages.com/

e-mail me at http://kbenoy@nvsd44.bc.ca/

Things that are static -- not requiring regular change -- will be posted on the website. This blogsite will have the changing material -- lesson plans and links to particular assignments. I will try to ensure that all assignments are made available on the Internet in this way. If something is underlined on the blog, it means that you can click on it to see a copy of the particular item -- this could be a pdf document, PowerPoint, music or a video.Use this blog to see what is coming up each week. I will usually post it on Saturdays for the following week. If you are away, you can check up on what you are missing. There really is no reason for you not to know what is happening. If you do not have an Internet connection, you certainly know someone who does. If too ill to work while away, be sure to attach a note from home to any overdue work when you hand it in and I will most likely waive any late deduction.

If you can't read the PowerPoint material on your computer, download PowerPoint Viewer from Microsoft. It is free.

Social Studies 11 (Honours)

This class has similarities and differences with regular Social Studies 11. Your tests will all be the same level of difficulty. You will not be penalized for taking the more challenging option. The key difference is that this section is geared for college and university bound students -- therefore we focus more intently on academic writing. We buy the time for this by moving a little more quickly through curricular material; this is generally not a problem because of the ability level of most of the class. We will cover the curriculum a little differently from regular Social Studies 11 because the Geography content lends itself well to student-generated writing topics.

Your Geography textbook is also available online at http://www.design4effect.com/soc11/ . Though we will use some material from the other text, most will be from this e-text. Be aware that this text is now a few years old and many hyperlinks are broken. Rewriting is a massive job that I have not had time to take on yet.

Expect a chapter 1 quiz next Monday, February 9. The mark breakdown will be roughly as follows: 15 multiple choice questions (1 mark each) and 3 long answer questions from 5 options (6 marks each). The total will be out of around 33 marks. 3 bonus marks are available for completing
flash cards.

  • Monday, February 2 - Introduction and Expectations. Course Outline. Text assigned. Essay Writing Workshop handout. Pre-read parts 1 & 2.

  • Wednesday, February 4 - Essay workshop material taken up, Part 3 addressed. Homework taken up. Continue PowerPoint (Chapter 1) . If time, we will begin watching Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth and questions. (Note: If this has been seen repeatedly by many in the class, I will move to an alternate video and update this blog.)

You might also be interested in a follow up to this, a follow-up debate, starting with this episode (link to the following segments from the sidebar).

  • Friday, February 6 - Finish An Inconvenient Truth. Geography essay assigned. This will involve library and Internet research. Read p. 22 and do the "Further Thought questions, #1-2, on p. 22.

    January 26-30



    Semester 1 classes are finished - let the exams begin!

    Social Studies 11

    Your exam is from 1-4 p.m. in the small gym on Tuesday, January 27. Some of you with IEPs are writing in an alternate location - mostly in room D106 and have been told of this on multiple occasions.

    If you did not hand back your textbooks, be sure to give them to me in the gym outside the test between 12:30 and 12:50. If you were in class on Friday and failed to turn in a text, you received a bill then. Those who missed Friday will be billed as they arrive for their test.

    If you still have work to submit, I am still prepared to mark it -- especially for you silly nits who will fail the course as a result of your procrastination. I cannot accept work past Tuesday, as it needs to be marked in time to get it on my report card submission - to be finalized on Thursday.

    Comparative Civilizations 12

    You wrote your final exam over the last two days of class. They are now all marked, as are any assignments submitted in hard copy or by e-mail on Friday.

    I will post final marks on the window of my class, probably on Monday afternoon or Tuesday morning.

    If you still have work to hand in, I will still mark it -- until Tuesday night.

    History 12

    Your test is from 1-4 p.m. in the small gym on Tuesday, January 27. This is the same location and the same time as Social Studies 11. Check with me immediately if you have decided to write the class-based exam instead of the provincial; at the moment only one person is doing so. I must ensure that I have sufficient exams present on Tuesday.

    If you did not hand in your books on Friday, I will present you with a bill as you go into the gym -- unless I get them back before the test. Since so many students are handing in books at that time, you may well go into the exam with a bill, if I have not been able to check book numbers. See me after the test to ensure that the numbers were right and your bill has been torn up.

    Some work still needs to come in from the odd procrastinator. Do it before Tuesday night or suffer the consequences.

    To all my first semester students: I've enjoyed your company and will miss you. Good luck in semester 2.

    Social Studies 11

    We are working through the Geography portion of this course and are using our in-house textbook, The 21st Century World. This book is available online at http://www.design4effect.com/soc11 . It is a number of years since this was created, so I offer apologies in advance for dead links. Until a 36 hour day is available, I am unable to update it all unless I am offered significant help doing so.

    You should be preparing for the final examination. Read my Tips for Writing the Social Studies 11 Provincial Exam. Go to the Ministry website and look at the exam table of specifications, familiarize yourself with key exam terms, access past exams and answer keys, and look at the essay scoring criteria to see how your essays will be marked. I am running an exam preparation session from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. on Wednesday, January 21 in room C306 - the big multimedia room on the Science floor. We will look at how to write the Social Studies 11 Provincial examination. Mr. Benoy must know ahead of time if you plan to attend, to ensure enough packages of material are run off. Click here for the PowerPoint presentation that begins this session.

    • Monday, January 19 - Take up pp. 83-86. Do #1-3, p. 84, #1-4, p. 85 & 1-2, p. 86. Begin Chapter 4 PowerPoint. Read pp. 86- 93. Do #1-3, p. 87, #1-4, p. 89, #1-5, p. 91 and #1-5, p. 93.

    • Wednesday, January 21 - Take up homework. Video: Resources & Conservation and questions. If time we will look at more of the Chapter 4 PowerPoint. You must watch any unfinished Chapter 4 PowerPoint on your own time, for homework. Read pp. 102-106. Do #1-6, p. 105 and Further Thought #1-4, p. 108.

    Comparative Civilizations 12

    The final examination in this course will be held on the last two days of class, instead of during exam week. This test is worth 15% of your course mark. Only the first part of the test is closed book. You may refer to your notebooks in answering all other material.

    Final Exam, Day 1: Slide Identification (closed book). Expect 50 items. You are to identify the work, the artist and the period (100 marks - since not all items have all three parts, we will give bonus marks for any third part identified). The remaining part of day 1 is an essay question - choose 1 from among 4 options (24 marks - 6 for composition and 18 for content -- marked according to the provincial examinations English & History rubrics).

    Final Exam, Day 2: 15 matching items (1 mark each), 10 identifying styles from written descriptions (10 marks), 80 multiple choice (80 marks), and two from 5 long answer questions (20 marks - 10 each).

    The final examination is, therefore, out of 249 marks -- but this is scaled to 15% of your final course mark. Your Grandeur & Obedience Package is due by 4:30 p.m. Friday. Your Light of Experience package is due by 4:30 p.m. on Friday as well.

    I hope to be able to post final marks for you by Monday, January 28 - probably on the bulletin board outside my room or on the glass window between the class and the hallway.

    • Monday, January 19 - New package, The Light of Experience, introduced (Note: this is a very short package) - due Friday by 4:30 p.m. Filmstrip from the Clark series. Frans Hals and the minor Dutch masters. Watch some episodes from Sister Wendy. Work on package.
    • Tuesday, January 20 - Vermeer and Rembrandt. Work on Packages. If you get the opportunity, the feature film The Girl With a Pearl Earing, is a nice evening's viewing. Regretfully, the Simon Schama documentary The Power of Art: Rembrandt is no longer available online -- if you can find a copy and watch it, it is well worth the effort.
    • Wednesday, January 21 - Christopher Wren. Work on Package. Watch the hour-long documentary Wren; the Man Who Built Britain - if you can find the time.
    • Thursday, January 22 - Day 1 of the final examination.
    • Friday, January 23 - Day 2 of the final examination.

    History 12

    This unit is global in scope -- far more than previous units. I will tend to focus on one region or issue at a time, which will mean that we will jump around more in time order. We did a bit of this in the last unit, but expect far more from now on. It is, therefore, essential that you find a way to make sure that you get the chronology right. I strongly suggest that you create a time line, with years on one axis and a series of columns, labelled Europe, Asia, North America, and South America on the other axis. Put major events on this timeline in the appropriate location and time. This will help you see events graphically -- recognizing how they might influence other events, elsewhere in the world, in the Cold War era.


    You must begin to prepare for the final examination, which is worth 40% of your over-all mark. Go to the Ministry of Education's History 12 website and access the following material: The

    exam table of specifications, the description of key verbs used on the exam, a description of the scoring criteria used in marking the exam, and, of course, familiarize yourself with the look of the exam itself -- the response booklet, sample and released examinations and answer keys. The best way to prepare for this exam is to actually write a previous exam.


    Even though you are not handing in the final group of questions for marking, it is essential that you complete them thoroughly. They are the best preparation I can give you for getting ready for this content on the final exam.

    If you are not using your textbooks to study from, and I strongly suggest that you are beyond this by the end of this week (you should be using flashcards, timelines and point-form notes on concepts by this time), please hand them back to me on Friday. I will allow students to hang on to books until the test if absolutely necessary, and will collect books outside the test room.

It is a number of years since this was created, so I offer apologies in advance for dead links. Until a 36 hour day is available, I am unable to update it all unless I am offered significant help doing so.

    Chapters 2 & 3 will be tested together at the end of this week. The test breakdown is as follows: 65 multiple choice questions (1 mark each), and 3 choices from 10 options of long answer questions (worth 6 marks each). The total value of the test is, therefore 81 marks. To earn the maximum of 5 bonus marks, 30 good flash cards are required.

    You should be preparing for the final examination. Read my Tips for Writing the Social Studies 11 Provincial Exam. Go to the Ministry website and look at the exam table of specifications, familiarize yourself with key exam terms, access past exams and answer keys, and look at the essay scoring criteria to see how your essays will be marked.

    • Monday, January 12 - Take up #1-3, p. 48. Begin chapter 3 PowerPoint. Read pp. 57-61. Do #1-8, p. 61.

    • Thursday, January 15 - Take up homework. Video: Gwynne Dyer's The Bomb Under the World." (Sorry, it is not available on the Internet). While watching this video, answer the questions: How is consumerism changing India? What are the positive and negative consequences for this developing country and for the world? Prepare for chapter 2 & 3 unit test next class.
    • Friday, January 15 - Unit Test on Chapter 2 (Population) and Chapter 3 (Standards of Living). Read pp. 83-86. Do #1-3, p. 84, #1-4, p. 85 & 1-2, p. 86. Be sure to spend time preparing for the final exam on the weekend.

    Comparative Civilizations 12

    With only three weeks remaining, we will not have another unit test. The remaining material will be tested on the final exam.


    The final examination in this course will be held on the last two days of class, instead of during exam week. This test is worth 15% of your course mark. Only the first part of the test is closed book. You may refer to your notebooks in answering all other material.


    Final Exam, Day 1: Slide Identification (closed book). Expect 50 items.

    The Mannerism and Reformation packages are due on Monday, January 12 -- by 4:30 p.m.


    The Grandeur and Obedience package is due on the last day of classes - day 2 of the final examination -- in class.

    History 12

    This unit is global in scope -- far more than previous units. I will tend to focus on one region or issue at a time, which will mean that we will jump around more in time order.

This will help you see events graphically -- recognizing how they might influence other events, elsewhere in the world, in the Cold War era.


    The good news is that there will be no more unit tests. To save time, I have also cancelled the in-class essay that was first planned. I do not wish to lose further blocks to testing. Topic 5 & 6 material will, however, be strongly present on the Provincial Final Exam. Link here to Topic 5 & 6 questions. Link here to the plan for Topics 5 & 6. This is increasingly inaccurate in terms of dates of lessons though, as we have taken a bit longer than originally outlined.

    Social Studies 11

    There is a major research assignment currently underway, the Family History - Immigration Assignment (With additional options for International and First Nations students.) Pedigree sheet. Map blank -- click to a resource on my Social Studies 11 History web page to locate an appropriate blank map to work with. The due date for this work is not until right after the Christmas holidays -- any time between January 5-9, to allow plenty of time for research and discussion with family members.)

    We have just started the Geography portion of this course. We are using our in-house textbook, The 21st Century World. This book is available online at http://www.design4effect.com/soc11 . Click here to read chapter 1. It is a number of years since this was created, so I offer apologies in advance for dead links. Until a 36 hour day is available, I am unable to update it all unless I am offered significant help doing so.

    Chapters 2 & 3 will be tested together in about a week and a half or so. I will post information about the test when we get a little closer.

    You should be preparing for the final examination. Read my Tips for Writing the Social Studies 11 Provincial Exam. Go to the Ministry website and look at the exam table of specifications, familiarize yourself with key exam terms, access past exams and answer keys, and look at the essay scoring criteria to see how your essays will be marked.

    We will assign the next package on Friday, but your Mannerism and Reformation packages are not jointly due until Monday, January 12 -- though I will gladly take the Mannerism package in on Thursday the 8th or Friday the 9th.

    History 12

    Remember, it is essential that you start preparing for the final exam -- whether you write the school or provincial exam, preparation is identical. The only real differnce is that the provincial has twice as much weight. Design and composition of the tests are virtually identical.


    Link to any grade 12 minstry exam mataerial from

    here or directly to the History page. Look at all of the material here. The more comfortable you are witht the exam and its composition, the better you will do. Be sure to write the sample exams over the Christmas Break.

    Note: The following plan was changed mid-week as we are taking longer than expected. Consequently, I have decided to cut the in-class essay to save time. Apologies to those of you who were counting on this to raise your mark further.



    • Monday, January 5 - The Vietnam War (base notes). You must watch the CNN Cold War episode, Vietnam 1954-1968 (Episode 11). On your own, watch Dien Bien Phu - a film of a little under 1 hour, on the decisive battle leading to France's withdrawal from Vietnam and the rest of Indo-China. Hearts and Minds is a documentary dealing with the importance of the importance of winning support for the war in order to successfully fight it. The Tet Offensive deals wtih the dramatic Viet-Cong & North Vietnamese offensive that broke American public belief in the likelyhood of American victory in the war. Vietnam; The Last Battle looks at the collapse of the South and the end of the conflict. Take 7 minutes to watch Last Word; Dith Pran - the subject of the stunning 1984 film The Killing Fields, which told the story of the murderous Khmer Rouge regime in Cambodia. Look at Susan Pojer's PowerPoint on the Vietnam War.
    • Tuesday, January 6 - Continue the Vietnam War (base notes). If time, begin looking at Domestic America after 1945 (base notes).
