February 14


We tied up some loose ends with our film study of "Whale Rider" and looking at the impact of globalization on the collective identity of the Maori. We started to move into Chapter 3 material today by looking at what exactly media TNCs are, the products they produce and we looked at a few examples of large media transnational corporations like News Corporation, Viacom, Comcast, and the Walt Disney Company. If you missed class today, you'll have to get these notes from a classmate. Your Chapter 3 Key Terms and Questions are due on Tuesday, February 15th. Please make sure that you also read Chapter 3. Please remember that your Illustrated Concept Map Assignment is due on Thursday, February 24th. This coming weekend is your last weekend to work on this project. This is a demanding project, it is not something that you want to put off until the night before it is due. Don't procrastinate!


I shared with you the results of your Chapter 1-2 Test and your Unit 1 Final Exam. Please note that I fully expect a large number of you to wipe out your Unit 1 Final Exam with your Trial Final at the end of the semester. Make sure that the Unit 1 Final Exam is your lowest test result this semester and have improved results for the remainder of the semester. We started looking at Unit 2 material today with the "Development of Classical Liberalism" PowerPoint. I will finish this presentation on Wednesday, and I will e-mail it out at that point. While I was going through this lecture you were to take notes on a note-taking chart and in your notebooks as well. If you missed class today you'll need to get these notes from a classmate and the chart from the file folder at the front of the room. Please read Chapter 3 and complete the Chapter 3 Key Terms for Wednesday. Please remember that you have your Unit 1 WRA II (Essay) tomorrow in the Blenheim Room, please go there directly. Your Chapter 3 Questions will be due on Tuesday, February 22nd. I will be in tutorial tomorrow morning. Please check your e-mail tonight because I have sent you the essay outline for individualism vs. collectivism that I showed you in class.
