Okay, wallwisher is working again!! Your new topic is on www.wallwisher.com/wall/socialstudies20
You must make at least 2 posts on the wall - one your own idea, one a response to somebody elses. The earlier you start writing, the more discussion that can be generated.

Rubric for Genocide Project
Hopefully, you have all looked at the rubric for this project. Since I have separated your marks differently this year, this project won't count as one project but will be split into two different bins, these being Unit II - National Interests and Skills Processes. The first two categories in your rubric will cover the information/knowledge part. This is out of 12 marks - 8 for the content and 4 for identifying the national interests. This will go into your Unit II bin. The rest of the assignment is out of 16 - 4 for links to nationalism, 4 for presentation, 4 for audiovisual effects and 4 for illiciting an emotional response. This will go into your Skills and Processes bin.
Remember, a lot of this course has to deal with skills and processes - this bin is worth a large chunk of your mark, so that is the section to work on and learn how to develop those skills.
In other news, as soon as I can get wallwisher working to change the question, I will do that and post the link here.

Working on the Internet...YAY!!
Finally, I have got this all put together and you guys can start doing schoolwork on the internet...WONDERFUL!! :) This year, since there were many problems with people being unable to create a google account, you will be using the blog as a spot to check up on things for class, but you won't actually be posting things on here. BUT you will be posting things on another site, which I will give you the address to so that you can go to and check it out...
So, we have been talking about contending loyalties lately and your questions revolves around whether or not they are good or bad for Canada. The website you are using is similar to Twitter in that you are just writing short answers to the question. You be required to put at least 2 "sticky notes" on each questions - one with your opinion and one as a response to somebody else's post. Your first 2 (minimal) posts will be due on MONDAY, OCTOBER 25. The website is at:
http://www.wallwisher.com/wall/socialstudies20
In other social news, you will probably have your Unit I/IV test the last week of October, probably the Wednesday or the Thursday. So start studying....You will also be starting your major project on genocides - yes, you will be expected to work on them on the week off in November.
Other than that, that is all the news I have for you..
