Scrabble for the Classroom

Do not forget to finish reading Chapter 21 (sections 1, 2, 3) & Chapter 22 section 1. There will not be a quiz this week but there will be one midweek when we get back from spring break.

Take the first few minutes of class to first drop your work from last week (the primary source analysis) AND copy paste your findings into our classes shared document. If you finish both of these things before the rest of the class you should work on your reading for this unit.

In class today we'll be doing a simulation called scrabble for the classroom.



Blog post: Scrabble for Africa.

White Man's Burden

Today we'll be spending the first 10 minutes on our reading check quiz. This is a timed test so all tests must be submitted by 11:44 (the quizzes are timestamped when you hit the submit button).

After the quiz we'll be reading some primary sources to learn more about the European's racists view on imperialism, "white man's burden". Download Imperialism primary source analysis from __________.

Imperialism

Take out your notes from yesterday. We'll be finishing them today. Then we'll start reading chapter 21 (just section 21.1 today but read 21.1, 21.2, 21.3 & 22.1 by the end of this unit). Everyone will be using the 7 parts notes template today and their will be a 5-10 min. reading check to start class tomorrow.

Rise of Eurasia Quiz

Today we have our quiz for the first half of class (until 10:15). Then we'll start our new unit on imperialism and the lead up to World War I.

Rise of Eurasia Review

If you haven't heard the quiz will be tomorrow rather than today so we are not rushed for time. Tomorrow you'll take a quiz for the first 20-30 minutes then we'll start learning about imperialism.

Today we'll be playing jeopardy as a class but before we review you need to take 4 minutes and complete the self-evaluation of your project. Your project will be marked as missing if you do not complete this form. Make sure to save the file as core#.lastname.rise of eurasia rubric

When we start jeopardy all of the space infront of you must be clear.
 

Student Lectures!

Very few of you turned in jeopardy questions. They need to be in my dropbox before the end of Friday to receive any credit. 
Today we'll be hearing the student lectures on the Rise of the Empires of Eurasia.

One of the most important skills needed to be success in college is note-taking skills. We are going to experiment with something for note-taking. Durning each presentation we are just going to focus on listening (no taking notes on paper or the computer). After each presentation we'll open up our notes and write down what we remember as the most important aspects from each group. Hopefully this strategy will get us to focus on the main ideas from each dynasty instead of being bogged down in details.

On the right side are the presentation schedules. As mentioned yesterday every group should be ready to go in their allotted times. No exceptions.

If you have extra time... Below is a note-taking advice page from Dartmouth College  (they happen to suggest Cornell-notes.

Day 5.2 - Student Lecture Series

Day 5- Working a raining day away.

After looking over groups notes, outlines, and study guides I'm confident that we are going to learn a lot about the Empires of Eurasia during the 16th & 17th century. My only worry is that groups have enough time to polish their presentations... so we are going to move everything back a day. You should still finish your presentation today but take tomorrow to run through it a couple times (get your "hook" right, who is going to say what, well spoken, no errors, looks nice etc.).

*Also I have the study guide completed but I am waiting to post it until after I've checked in with all the groups. If you group is done and wants access to it early let me know.

A video for your amusement... by a comedian about what not to do for powerpoint presentations.

Student Spotlight: Ren. Art Project

*Page down to see the previous post of today's plan for class.

Often we spend so much time focused on our own work we forget to notice and acknowledge how awesome your classmates are doing. Below are some examples of excellent work on the Renaissance Art Presentations from a couple weeks ago. Parents if you are you are hearing about this assignment for the first time check out the link to see the assignment. If you don't see your son's, daughter's, granddaughter's, etc. they were all pretty good so don't be afraid to ask your student to share his/hers or email me paul_hannan@wmep.k12.mn.us.

The Emergence of the First Global Age, 1450-1770

We are shifting our focus back to the east, to Eurasia & Asia. For this unit you'll largely be learning from your classmates but you will benefit from reading both chapter 15 and 16 (pg. 454-482). You'll get a study guide at the beginning of next week. I'll check off either your notes from the reading or the study guide before the quiz and you'll need to have one of them competed for any retakes.

Our goal for this unit is to look at how large territorial empires dominated much of Eurasia between the 16th and 18th centuries. Download the "The Rise of the

Empires of Eurasia" for the directions and close out of all other applications/windows.

*Before the end of the hour check your schoolview to make sure your grades are correct and up-to-date. If there are any mistakes I want to correct them before conferences, this Thursday. If you are going to turn in missing/makeup work make sure to tell me as well as dropbox it so I do not miss it.
