July 21

Social 10-2

I collected your Chapter 14 Booklets at the beginning of class for homework check marks. I wrote some notes on the board about the expansion of economic globalization, so if you missed class today, you'll have to get these notes from a classmate. I showed you a short excerpt video from an episode of the CBC show called "The Hour" (hosted by George Stroumboulopoulos, actually I just wanted to type that name out once). The excerpt that I showed you was an interview of Jeff Rubin, former chief economist for CIBC, where he was talking about the end of cheap oil and the end of globalization as we know it. We watched a bit of the documentary film "Food, Inc.". You can watch the rest of the film here: Documentary Heaven: Food, Inc.

After the break, I went through a PowerPoint presentation called "Quality of Life, Human Rights, Democratization" which I have sent to your e-mail accounts. I gave you time to work on your Chapter 15 Booklets, which are due tomorrow.

Upcoming Important Dates:

• Chapter 15 Booklets are due tomorrow
• Unit 3 Final Exam is tomorrow (please see the study guide below)
  

Unit 3 Final Exam Study Guide:

Your Unit 3 Final Exam is on Wednesday, July 22nd. This final exam has a different format than your previous unit finals. There is a short matching section, and you must also complete a chart (point form answers) on what supporters or critics might say about certain international agreements or organizations (please see the Chapter 11 Quiz Study Guide for an idea of what this might look like). There will also be a multiple choice section to this test (25 multiple choice questions), and a written component as well. The written component will require you to analyze two sources, and identify key concepts reflected in the sources. Please review the following key concepts from Unit 3:
