Day 3

Schedule for Today

1. Go over any questions from the terms I posted yesterday. Remember: these terms will help you understand the material as we go through the course. You don't need to have them memorized, but having an idea of what they mean will certainly help. They will stay on the Day 2(continued) site henceforth.

2. Establish days for extra help and review. I am more than happy to offer help with the course, and any other courses, outside of class time. Now, we can do this on an appointment basis, or establish a consistent weekly time. I can do the following:

Tuesday, Thursday, Friday - 7:45-8:45am

Monday, Thursday - 3:30-4:30pm

Days 2 and 4 Lunch Time.

As well, I have preps during the following:

Day 2 - Block 4, Block 6

Day 4 - Block 6

We'll sort it out in class.


3. Social 20 Review:

You guys know the drill. Social 20's theme is Nationalism, and, more specifically,

"To what extent should we embrace Nationalism?"

Below are a list of vocabulary words from the course. I have culled them down to what I believe are the most important. In groups of 2-4, please have a run through them, and figure out what you know.

*Also! [Light at the end of the tunnel alert!] Once we get these done, we will be done our Social Review, and we'll be on to new stuff.
