You wrote your Final Exam Part A today, and you received your final marks in 10-2. I hope that you returned your textbooks today in the Main Foyer.

For the first part of class you wrote your Final Exam Part A (Written Response Assignments). You will get the results of these two writing assignments back tomorrow, as well as see how they have affected your overall mark in the course, since these written response assignments count for 7.5% of your final grade in Social 10-2.



After the break you had time to put the finishing touches on your study guide that you will be allowed to bring in to tomorrow's Final Exam Part B. We will be playing a game of review Jeopardy tomorrow, and then writing Part B after the break. You will know your final grade in Social 10-2 tomorrow before you leave. You can return your textbooks at the school tomorrow if you'd like, make sure that you have your receipt with you.

I did a homework check on your Chapter 21 Key Terms and Questions today. I tried to finalize everyone's homework check marks today as well. Homework checks represent 5% of your final grade in the course, so it is important. I wrote out a writing guide for tomorrow's Final Exam Part A on the blackboard. It specifically covered how to write a WRA I type assignment and a WRA III type assignment. You have written a WRA I before during Unit 1, but you haven't written a WRA III before. You are allowed to have this writing guide out tomorrow when you write Part A. It might be a good idea to review the "Preparing for Social 10-2 Writing Assignments" PowerPoint presentation that I went over earlier in the Summer semester. The title slide looks like this:

You had the remainder of class time to work on your Final Exam Part B Study Guides. You will be allowed to have these guides out on Friday when you write the 75 multiple choice question Part B. At the end of class, you handed back in the study guides. You will probably get some time to work on them again tomorrow.

Upcoming Important Dates:

• Social 10-2 Final Exam Part A (written component of final exam; it is worth 7.5% of your final grade in the course) is on Thursday, July 29th
• Social 10-2 Final Exam Part B (75 multiple choice questions; it is worth 17.5% of your final grade in the course) is on Friday, July 30th
