Hi everyone,
1) These are the questions that my grade 12’s completed last year on their final exam. Try to use the textbook, and the internet to answer the following questions in preparation for our simulation tomorrow. These questions are also great intro questions to our final unit. I would think that many of you have probably not asked yourselves questions of this nature before.
2) In addition, use the textbook or the internet to find an interesting international issue that is occurring presently that you would like to discuss and briefly summarise it in ½ a page.
Thanks so much guys,
See you tomorrow!
