You wrote your Enlightenment Thinkers Quiz today, and you got the results back today as well. Some of you need to prepare for your tests better! STUDY! Make sure that you prepare for next Friday's World Geography Test (please see the study guide below). Your Chapter 2 Key Terms and Questions are due on Thursday, September 15th, so it's probably a good idea to start working on them in advance. Next week we'll start talking about the French Revolution, so it's advised that you at least read that section of your textbook prior to Monday's class.
This test will take place on Friday, September 16th. It is simply a country identification test. You will be given a world map with certain countries identified and you need to be able to write out what country it is. Here are the countries that may appear on the test:
- any of the EU countries (there are 27 countries in the EU, a map of the EU is in your textbook on page 265)
- any of the NATO countries (there's some overlap here with the EU, but not all EU countries are members of NATO)
- any of the G8 countries: Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Russia, the United States, and the United Kingdom
- full members of MERCOSUR: Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay and other associate members or countries that are achieving membership in MERCOSUR, such as: Venezuela, Bolivia, Peru, Colombia, Ecuador
- to ask you to know ALL of the countries in the African Union would be cruel, so we'll focus on countries that came up last year or will likely be in the news this year: Chad, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Egypt, Ethiopia, Kenya, Libya, Nigeria, Rwanda, Sierra Leone, Somalia, South Africa, Sudan, Zimbabwe
- other very important countries that will be in the news this year, or that we'll be talking about, or get mentioned in your textbook: Cuba, Mexico, Jamaica, Serbia, Georgia, China,
India, Myanmar, Australia, New Zealand, Indonesia, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq,
Israel - **BIG HINT: if a country is a member of a few of these international organizations then there's a STRONG possibility that they will be on the test!!**
We spent the entire day on re-learning how to write a Written Response Assignment II Essay. I gave you a couple of handouts on this topic, one of which was called "the Recipe for Success" and the other a handout on "Analyzing Quotes".
