If you missed today's class, you should try to get the notes that you missed from a classmate. I distributed two articles, one entitled "Globalization Harms the World's Culture" and the other "Globalization Benefits the World's Cultures". Half the class got one of the articles, and the other half of the class got the other article. As you read the article you were to take notes by trying to identify arguments and supporting evidence within the essay. You were also required to write down any interesting facts, figures or quotations that appeared in the essay. Next, I had you work in groups to try and categorize the examples into arguments, and to formulate a statement of position. We had a brief class discussion/debate on the issues raised in the articles. These articles will be helpful in writing your essays next week, so I hope that you took good notes.

I collected your Chapter 5 Questions at the beginning of class. For the first part of the class we played the first round of a Jeopardy review game that you helped to create. I will be sending you the entire presentation/game to you later tonight. I then went over the answers to the Chapter 8 Key Terms worksheet. I then went over writing position papers for the remainder of class. I gave you a handout called "Recipe for Success: How to Write Position Papers". If you missed today's class, you will need to get this handout from the Social 20 folder at the side of the room.

Upcoming Important Dates for Social 20 Students:

• Nationalism Test (covers Chapters 2-5) is on Thursday, October 4th
• In-Class Position Paper #1 is on Tuesday, October 9th (I have sent you the essay sheet already)

I went through a presentation/lecture today that took about 60 minutes. While I was going through this presentation you were to take notes on concept webs that I passed out to you. I also told you to finish off the Unit 1 Worksheet (just the Chapter 5 questions should be completed). I did not set a due date for the Chapter 5 questions though. I also told you that you have a Chapter 3-4 Quiz on Wednesday. It is matching and short answer, similar in format to your Chapter 1-2 Quiz. I gave you the results of your Chapter 1-2 Quiz towards the end of class.

Upcoming Important Dates for Social 10 Students:

• Chapter 3-4 Quiz is on Wednesday (matching, short answer)
• Chapter 3-4 Quiz Study Guide: study key concepts in Chapters 3-4, as well as the questions for inquiry, be able to refer to specific examples/case studies in your answers
