September 27


I gave you back the results from your Unit 1 Essay, and I talked about areas for improvement. Here are some key areas that everyone can improve on:
  • Memorize the checklist of required elements for the 1st paragraph from the "Recipe for Success" handout. Really go over the entire checklist prior to the next essay, and include those items.
  • Make sure that you ANALYZE the source! Paraphrasing the source is not analysis. For ideas as to how to analyze text-based sources, please study the Analyzing Quotes handout.
  • Be proactive! If you didn't do well on this essay, please come see me in tutorial, sooner rather than later. We can go over your essay and I can give some tips to help you improve.

I gave you the remainder of the class period to work on homework. Remember you have your "Philosophies of Industrialism" booklet due tomorrow, and your Chapter 4 Key Terms and Questions are due on Wednesday.


I finished off the "Contending Loyalties" PowerPoint presentation today. I will be sending this to you this afternoon, so please check your e-mail at home. Make sure that you print off the PowerPoint (4-6 slides per page) and add it to your notes. I won't be doing a homework check on this, but it is still HIGHLY recommended that you print these presentations off so you have a hard copy in your notes. I did a homework check on your Chapter 3 Key Terms and Questions today. Please have a look at the following upcoming important dates:

  • French Revolution DBA Assignment is due tomorrow (September 28th)
  • Chapter 4 Key Terms and Questions are due on Wednesday, September 29th
  • Unit 1 WRA I (3 source analysis) is on Friday, October 1st (I will be re-teaching how to write these assignments on Thursday)

  • Unit 1 Final Exam is on Wednesday, October 6th (please see the study guide below)

This test will be on Tuesday, October 5th. It will consist of a matching section (10 key concepts) and a short answer section.

  • study the PowerPoint presentation "Contending Loyalties"
  • make sure that you have read Chapters 3 and 4 (it is all testable material)
  • know the key concepts from Chapters 3 and 4 (please see the Unit 1 Worksheet for these)
  • study your answers to the Chapter 3 and 4 questions from the Unit 1 Worksheet (all could potentially be on the quiz)

Your Unit 1 Final Exam will be on Wednesday, October 6th. It is 75 multiple choice questions. Make sure that you have read Chapters 1-4 in Exploring Nationalism. Please make sure that you know the key concepts from Unit 1 (see below). Also review the PowerPoint presentations that you should have in your notes. These are the presentations that you should review:

1. Nation and Identity
