I will post test information as we get closer to the exam and we will set the minimum number of flash cards for full bonus marks at that time. However, start making and using your flash cards now!

If you are interested in economics and want to find out some of the basic concepts, you might like to look at Discovery Education's United Streaming video: Macroeconomic Concepts. This will require you to login. If you have an interest in World War II, check out the contents of my directory of World War II documentaries uploaded to Google video and Youtube - all 19 pages.

Expect approximately the following on the unit test: 25 slide identification items (the only closed notes portion of the test) - these have three blanks to fill for each item, though many items only have two possibilities, so the third will be a bonus mark when all three can be identified -- you need to identify the name of the item, the creator, and the historic period the item was created in -- the period options are listed for you to choose from.

Students who have not yet written the first unit test must make immediate arrangements to do so. Zero scores are recorded until they are replaced with what is earned on the test. Those who want to look at their papers can do so outside of class time when Mr. Benoy is present.

We have only just started our new unit on the Legislative/Executive/Judicial branches of government, so you can expect the new test in a little more than a week from now. Expect a test of similar size to the first one. The mark breakdown will be posted when we are a little closer to test day.

History 12

***Please note: The Terry Fox run and a short class Friday derailed us somewhat. We need another class to complete the material on the vital Paris Peace Conference and the treaties that came out of it. Your test is, therefore, pushed to Tuesday, and with it, the due date for your Topic #2 questions. I apologize for any inconvenience caused.

Your nationalism essay is due on Friday, September 26 ( See the bottom of the Topic #1 Plan). It is valued at 20 marks (note: this is evaluated using a 5 point scale, with 1 x 5 marks for composition and 3 x 5 marks for content. Later essays will be marked on a multiple of the 6 point scale -- like provincial exam essays.

Here at last is the Unit Test breakdown for Tuesday. 60 multiple choice questions @ 1 mark each; 10 map items -- identifying countries on a 1914 map @ 1 mark each; 5 definition items (I give you the term and you define it) @ 2 marks each; and 2 long answer questions @ 10 marks each. The total value of the test is, therefore, 100 marks.

Topic #2 Questions are currently underway -- follow the plan as handed out in class -- or modify. However, be ready for a unit test and to hand in your work on Tuesday, September 30. Click here for a blank map of Europe in 1919.

If you have a little time to do so this week, have a look at the online videos I list in my online video directory. The visuals are quite wonderful in bringing to life the lecture material and I wish I had unlimited class time to show them too.

Be sure to look at World War One: 1914-1918 Map - a multimedia map presentation on Youtube that very nicely summarizes the main events of the war.

I suspect the plan below is a little over-ambitious. We are likely to have to insert another lecture to complete the War. Note that the AV day on Friday may have to be put to other use.

• Monday, September 22 - World War I; 1914-1916ish. (Base notes - section 1 & section 2).
• Tuesday, September 23 - World War I; 1916ish to 1917ish) (Base notes - 1916, 1917).
• Wednesday, September 24 - The War concluded. (Base notes to 1917 and 1918).
• Thursday, September 25 - Total War; the German Experience (base notes).
• Friday, September 26 - World War I AV (TBA - depending on availability. This will most likely be segments from The Guns of August or something listed on my online video directory).

September 15 to 19

The test for Ideologies/Parties/Elections is on Wednesday because I don't want to test on photo day when the exam might be interrupted.
