I will do this for all pdf documents, PowerPoints, videos, and even some music.

Course outlines are posted in the material for the first class this semester - go to the Wednesday, September 7 posting.

Social Studies 8

We will begin with a Geography unit. Expect a unit test at the end of this, worth around 75 marks. This will be in roughly 3 weeks. It will be based on map reading and the use of Canadian Oxford World Atlas (7th edition). We will also have a number of quizzes worth from 5-30 marks throughout the unit. You will not always be warned ahead of time about quizzes -- so it is important to keep up.

National Geographic has some nice overview PowerPoints for this unit. See Map Elements and Map Skills.

Social Studies 11

We will begin with the Government unit and start with the old red text to deal with ideologies. You will get the Counterpoints text, which we will use for most of the semester, once we get past ideologies -- which Counterpoints does not deal with well.

Expect your first unit test on Ideologies/Parties/Elections to be on Thursday, September 22. The mark breakdown is most likely to be as follows: 30 multiple choice question (1 mark each); 4 items to label on a diagram (1 mark each); 5 definitions - you write a sentence or two about each term or name (2 marks each); 2 long answer questions from a choice of 4 options (6 marks each). The test should, therefore, be out of about 66 marks.

  • Monday, September 12 - Origins of the Political Spectrum - including summary handout sheet. ( We did not get to the work within these parenthesis. Some of it moves to the next few days. PowerPoint – “Ideologies”.Ideology identification practice. ) The following reading is completely optional: For an interesting American article on the difference between Lefties and Righties, see Patricia Cohen's New York Times Article: "Across the Great Divide; Investigating Links Between Personality and Politics."

  • Tuesday, September 13- Ideologies Identification homework. PowerPoint – “Ideologies” Video clip on ideologies - sorry, not available online. Other ways to show political spectrum. More practice with ideologies.
  • Wednesday, September 14 - Take up homework. Lecture/discussion – from ideologies to political parties – national parties in Canada. Read Counterpoints pp. 255-258. Do #3 & 4, p. 258. For homework over the last weekend, you took an online quiz to identify your political viewpoint. To see which Canadian political party comes closest to your views (2008 comparison - according to this organization. Take a look at US national politics while you are here), link here and see if this is what you expected. Interested in pursuing this further? Try some more tests -- mostly American -- to see where you stand.

  • Thursday, September 16 - Take up homework. Placing parties on the political spectrum. PowerPoint. BC & Canadian political parties. Read Counterpoints pp. 249-258. Do #1-5, p. 253, #4, p. 258 & sidebar #1-3, p. 257.

  • Friday, September 15 - Take up #1-5, p. 253, #4, p. 258 & sidebar #1-3, p. 257. Review of party positions on the political spectrum and names of party leaders. Introduction to political party organizations. As part of your homework, you must go to Elections Canada's pages entitled I Can Vote, with information for young and first time voters. Answer these questions. Read pages 109-115 in the red Government text and answer questions #1-3 & 5, p. 115. Optional: Click here to go to a list of all of the political parties, with links to their web-pages.
History 12


Oops! -- I goofed in changing the order of things when I started the Themes and Topics Powerpoint on Friday. It makes sense to continue with it now and just relocate the Writing History Essays material to the end of unit one. Sorry about any inconvenience.

You must be sure to visit The History Guide for excellent background material supporting this course.

Expect to write your first quiz on or about Wednesday, September 14 or Thursday, September 15 -- depending on our progress with class material. There will likely be 15 multiple choice questions (1 mark each), 10 definitions -- where I give you the definition and you give me the term or name (1 mark each), 5 definitions -- where I give you the term or name and you provide the definition or why the person is important (2 marks each), and one essay (worth 18 marks - with 6 for composition and 2x6 for content). The test will most likely be out of 53 marks. The Topic #2 test will likely be around February 24.

All Topic #1 work is due by 4:30 p.m. on the day of the test. Essay #1 is due a couple of weeks later.



If you get the chance, take 76 minutes to watch a panel of historians talk about History's Value Today.

You will not always be warned ahead of time about quizzes -- so it is important to keep up.

If you are struggling, be sure to see me outside of class for extra help!

You will need the following material for the Geography unit: a ruler, pens, pencils, and coloured pencils, erasers, whiteout, a portable computer storage device (USB key, with at least 1 GB of space on it -- which you can use in all of your other classes too), and lined paper.

Keep all of your material in order in either a section of a bigger binder, with work from other courses, or a smaller Social Studies binder. The choice is yours. You should also have section dividers to separate units. Keep all work to study from for the final exam at the end of the course. After unit tests, you can take this work out and leave it safe at home if you do not want to keep carrying it around -- just don't lose it.

National Geographic has some nice overview PowerPoints for this unit. See Map Elements and Map Skills.
Social Studies 9

Last minute staffing changes resulted in a change in my teaching schedule. I will now be teaching Social Studies 11 in first block -- instead of Social Studies 9. I hope to catch up with you all in senior courses in the future.

Social Studies 11

We will begin with the Government unit and start with the old red text to deal with ideologies. You will get the Counterpoints text, which we will use for most of the semester, once we get past ideologies -- which Counterpoints does not deal with well.

The test should, therefore, be out of about 66 marks.

  • Wednesday, September 7- Outline and expectations PowerPoints. paper course of course outline. Final Exam table of specifications (link from here to additional exam material). Handout: What is Government? Complete the questions for Thursday.
  • Thursday, September 8 - Hand out textbooks. Complete anything missed from yesterday's introduction. Discuss whether or not government is necessary. Introduction to the three branches of government. Read pp. 2-6 in red Government text. Do #1-4, p. 6.
  • Friday, September 9 - Take up homework. Introduction to ideologies. Origins of the Political Spectrum. Read pp. 7-15 in Government text. Do #1-5, p. 11 and #1-6, pp. 15-16. To identify your own ideology, take the online Political Compass Quiz.
History 12

Our first unit is an introduction to History and the Writing of History.

Be aware, this is a lecture course. Because almost all students who sign up for this course are university or college bound, I have structured the course in this way to help you make the transition to post-secondary studies easier. Class work will be done entirely outside of class time. I will give you a plan at the start of each unit, which sets out a suggestion about when you should complete what. You may handle this differently if your personal timetable requires that you rearrange the work. However, the due dates are clearly set down. If they present problems for you, I need to know ahead of time and will likely arrange an extension, if the circumstances warrant doing so.

***Note, this is the first year in my school career as a student and teacher that there has been no Provincial scholarship exam in History 12. There will be a class exam based entirely on the material taught in class. This will include 100 multiple choice questions and two essay questions -- one of which will involve the interpretation and integration of primary and secondary documents.

A bonus assignment can be done to boost your mark this year. This is the Glossary Assignment. You create a glossary of 20th century history, using the information you would ordinarily put together in making flash cards. This is a massive assignment, but the payoff of up to a 5% increase in your final mark is also very significant. Most students achieve 1-2% bonus. I have given out only a handful of 5% marks over the years.

You must be sure to visit The History Guide for excellent background material supporting this course.

Expect to write your first quiz on or about Thursday, Sept. 15. There will likely be 15 multiple choice questions (1 mark each), 10 definitions -- where I give you the definition and you give me the term or name (1 mark each), 5 definitions -- where I give you the term or name and you provide the definition or why the person is important (2 marks each), and one essay (worth 18 marks - with 6 for composition and 2x6 for content). The test will most likely be out of 53 marks.

All Topic #1 work is due by 4:30 p.m. on the day of the test. Essay #1 is due a couple of weeks later.

I will do this for all pdf documents, PowerPoints, videos, and even some music.

All assignments are now overdue. However, I will keep marking work submitted up to the day of your final exam. E-mail your work to me or hand it to me personally. Late deductions will apply -- unless your mark is under 50% at this time -- if it is, your work will be marked at face value.

Social Studies 8

Your final exam is this Monday - June 20, from 9:00 to 10:30 am. Be sure to bring your textbooks to return prior to the test. Arrive early and bring your text book(s) or I shall have to present you with a bill during the test. We must get books back to teach next semester's classes.


Social Studies 11

Your final exam is on Tuesday, June 21, from 9:00 am to 11:00 a.m. .Arrive early and bring your text book(s) or I shall have to present you with a bill during the test. We must get books back to teach next semester's classes.











It is essential that you are currently preparing to write the Provincial Final Exam. This is not a test that you can cram for with one or two days to go. You must become familiar with what to expect on the final exam and comfortable with the format of the test. Go to the ministry sites ( Frequently asked questions page, table of specifications, key verb list, & scoring criteria) to see how the exam is put together and look at past exams -- in fact you should write the sample test and look at the posted key to see how you do. To see how to approach the essay questions, look at this documentprovided to train markers of the exam. Link from my web page on writing the SS11 final, and also see my PowerPoint on how to approach the test.











I am holding an exam prep class on Monday, June 20 from 11:15 a.m. to 12:30 a.m. Attend if you can. Mr. Hurley is holding a session after 3:00 p.m. on the same day. He welcomes anyone to attend.

History 12

Your final exam is on Thursday, June 23, from 9 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. Arrive early and bring your text book(s) or I shall have to present you with a bill during the test. We must get books back to teach next semester's classes.

We held the optional exam preparation class last Friday. For those unable to attend, I gave this PowerPoint presentation and we then looked at the June 2003 exam as an example of what to expect.




Your final exam is a little more complicated than most. It is either a provincial exam or a class-based exam, depending on your choice. Some of you have the option of writing in an alternate setting, because of your IEPs. Most will go to the Library Computer Lab. Provincial exams are electronic format only. Class based exams are paper only -- yet another complication -- but the format and difficulty of the two tests is identical. The only difference is the value of the test; 20% for the class exam and 40% for the provincial.





BC universities take the best of your class mark or your blended (class +provincial exam) mark. Logically, those scoring above 60% and wanting to attend a BC university, should, therefore, choose the provincial exam as it has potential benefit in raising your mark, while not having a downside. If you are under 60%, going into the test, there is the possibility of failing the course if a disastrous exam result greatly reduces your mark. Think carefully about which exam to choose. For those writing the class exam, your final class grade will include the class final exam. Any student going into the exam with a mark under 50% should definitely write the provincial exam, as its greater weight means it gives you a better chance of passing if you get over 50% on it.

I just cannot wait to collect it as I have to give you your final class mark at the end of this week! There is no time to assess it. If you have any work missing, it must come in this week. I will take it later, but do so grudgingly and it may not be marked in time to include in your final mark sent to Victoria. Anything handed in this week will be included in your mark.

  • Monday, June 13 -The Middle East Since 1956 (base notes).

June 6 to 10




















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


My regrets to those who hoped that the Social Studies trip to France and England in 2012 would work. Not enough people confirmed interest. We will look into the possibility of arranging something the next year.


Things that are static -- not requiring regular change -- can be found at my website:http://sites.google.com/site/kbenoy/.


This blogsite will have all of the changing material -- lesson plans and links to assignments. I will try to ensure that all assignments are posted here.If you see something underlined, it means that you can click on the item to have it appear. I will do this for all pdf documents, PowerPoints, videos, and even some music.

Please be understanding this week. The Graduation Ceremony is on Friday and I am very involved in the planning of it. I will be both busy and bothered this week. If I am a little testy with you, I assure you that it is circumstances and not you that I am reacting to. I also will not have as much time to give extra help as I do usually. Things will be back to normal next week.


Social Studies 8


You have a big research assignment underway. If you do not have the handouts. Click for them here: Part 1, Part 2. The assignment is due on Monday, June 6.

I expect it to include: 10 fill in the blanks -- where I show you an image and you tell me its name or who created it; 25 multiple choice questions; 10 matching questions; and 2 from a choice of 4 long answer questions. The total is, therefore, out of 58 marks, so 30 properly done flashcards will earn 5 bonus marks.

If we have time, we may watch the short documentary on Michelangelo that is at the start of the movie The Agony & the Ecstacy -- a wonderful film on Michelangelo's relationship with Pope Julius II as he painted the Sistine Chapel ceiling. To watch the movie, start with this link to part 1 and click away to continue. Start planning your study schedule for final exams.

  • Wednesday, June 9 - Take up homework. Watch Zeffireli's version of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet (sorry, I can't seem to find an online version for you this year).

Social Studies 11


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 unit test on chapters 1-3 on Thursday, though we will begin chapter 4 on Wednesday -- this allows you extra time on the test if you need it. You may write into the break. Expect your test breakdown to be as follows: 65 multiple choice questions and two from a choice of 10 long answer questions - valued at 6 marks each. The total is, therefore, out of 77 marks. 30 properly done flash cards will earn 5 bonus marks.
