Quizzes may be announced or come as a surprize in the last week. These will generally be 10 marks or less in length. A large Geography unit test will be given on Wednesday. 10 flash cards will earn 3 bonus marks. Expect the test to be out of 75 marks and you will use your atlas to answer the questions.I plan to finish off the year with two days of review, catch up and bonus work.
- Monday, June 11. Quiz – Latitude, Longitude & Direction. Take up Time Zones #1 worksheet. Go over problems. Time Zones 2.
- Tuesday, June 12. Take up homework. Mind map. Thematic Maps
With so few classes remaining, I will minimize testing. Expect a whopper of a unit test on Tuesday, combining chapters 1-3. I predict about 65 multiple choice questions (1 mark each) and 4 long answer questions, from a selection of around 10 possibilities (6 marks each.). 40 flashcards are expected, to earn 5 bonus marks. Chapters 4 and 5 will not be tested in class, but material will surely show up on the Provincial Final Examination.
- Monday, June 11. Take up #1-3, p. 84, #1-4, p. 85 & 1-2, p. 86. Complete PowerPoint
Social Studies 11 (Honours)
With so much to cover and so few classes left, testing is to be kept to a minimum. There will be a large unit test covering ideologies, parties, elections and the Legislative, Executive and Judicial parts of government - probably at the start of the last week of classes. Expect this to comprise the following: 65 choice (1 mark each), 1 political spectrum diagram (4 marks), 10 identifying ideological statements (1 mark each), and 4 long answer questions, from 10 possible options (6 marks each). The test is, therefore, out of 103 marks. 40 flash cards will be needed to earn 5 bonus marks.
- Monday, June 11. Unit Test: Ideologies to the Judiciary. Read pp. 126-140 Do #1-5, pp. 134-135, #1, p. 137, #1,3 & 4, p. 140.
