I will be sending to this to you today, so please check your e-mail and print it off 4-6 slides per page (see instructions below). Your Chapter 1 Key Terms and Questions are due on Friday, September 10th. You also have a World Geography Test on Friday, September 17th, please see the study guide below.
Social 20-1 World Geography Test Study Guide
This test will take place on Friday, September 17th. 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!!**

Printing PowerPoint Presentations
When I send you presentations, here is what I recommend that you do: keep an electronic copy of the presentation, preferably in an appropriately named folder. Next you'll need to print it off. I recommend that you print off 4 slides per page. Here's how you do it. Open the presentation up in PowerPoint, then go under File and select Print. Then set things up like the picture below:
