Staying on top of things.

This blog is created as a way to stay on top of the learning throughout the year and as a way to discuss various topics that will arise as you learn. I hope that you find this blog useful as a way of checking in on what you have missed while you were away and double-checking on the information that we will cover in the class.

An important note: It is YOUR responsibility to catch up on missed work and assignments through this blog. Therefore, I will expect that you will be prepared and ready for all activities and the work assigned will be completed on time. It is really important to stay on top of your work so we can be motivated, responsible members of the class.

Also, feel free to offer up your comments on lessons, activities, etc. as you like. It is important that you can comfortably offer up any feedback that will help create memorable learning experiences. Your voice is important.


Success does not come before effort in the dictionary!

G & A - Integrated Studies 8 > Globalization and the Effect of Trade

Following current events, we participated in an activity where we saw pictures of food products and had to guess which countries were the top exporters of that item. The activity helped us to see how large trade has grown over time and how we get many of our popular products as imports.  This helped us to understand the idea of globalization.

Globalization: the process by which businesses, organizations or governments develop international influence or start operating on an international scale.  This process is driven by international trade and investment and aided by information technology

We will continue with this topic next class. In the meantime, trade assignments are due next class.
