This is Social Studies 10 and we are looking at the Canadian government and its structure, as well as, major historical events in the 20th century and an brief glance at the early 21st century. The various events that we will look at and discuss occur during the years, 1914-2020. In SS 10 we will also look into the various current events that are occurring at the local, national, and international levels and spend time comparing and contrasting how they have had, and continue to effect both historical and current political events.

Here is your Chapter exam/project review instructions for each SS 10 Exam/project:
You need to be able to apply and recognize political ideologies and how they impact the citizenry in each country. You should be able to effectively write a limited-paragraph composition that discusses the commonalities and differences between each historical and current event. Common aspects can typically include the the effects that economic sanctions can have on countries. I have attached each Chapter Worksheet Set for you as well as important terms that you will need to know to be able to participate in more meaningful class discussions.
To Do:
Try to practice analyzing current events to familiarize yourself with how the political ideologies we have discussed (left and right wing ideological differences) play a role in how government decision making on current issues is formulated.
Remember, comparing means to describe how things are similar, and contrasting means to describe how things are different.
