SOCIAL 10-1: GLOBALIZATION



[pic]

Course Description: Globalization is a process that is making the world’s citizens increasingly interdependent economically, socially, politically, environmentally, and technologically. In the Grade 10 Social Studies program students will explore multiple perspectives on the origins of globalization and the local and national impact of globalization on lands, cultures, economies, human rights, and quality of life. Students will examine the relationships among globalization, citizenship and identity to enhance skills for citizenship in a globalizing world.

Materials:

Textbook: “Perspectives on Globalization”

Binder with 4 dividers

Pencils or Pens

Highlighters

Lined paper

Classroom Expectations:

As a high school student, you will be expected to arrive to class on time, with all necessary materials, in preparation for the day’s lesson. Homework and assignments will have due-dates that you are expected to meet unless a circumstance does not allow for this to happen. If this is the case, communication is key. If you are unable to complete the assigned work for social class, it is necessary that you discuss the details with me either in person or through email. When the circumstances allow, an extension of the due date will be allowed. If extension requests become frequent, a discussion will be had with both Mr. Main and your parental contact.

The Alberta School of Ballet is a safe learning environment for all. I have a zero tolerance policy for bullying in my classroom. If you or a peer are having conflict with another student, please know that my door is always open for a discussion in order to resolve issues that arise. In order to be successful in my class, it is important that you are consistently being nice, working hard, and having fun!
