Homework 10/30

Goodbye Nationalism, Hello Industrial Revolution!  But as always, don't let nationalism fall out of your brain - you'll need it again later in the year!

Tonight:

1) read Section 25.1 The Beginnings of Industrialization (That links to an online section of the Chapter)
2) For each of the vocabulary words (there are 7) write two definitions.  The first one should be the definition from the book, the second is YOUR version written in your own words.

Your homework must be posted to the blog.  Anyone having blog issues that they haven't resolved yet need to see me ASAP.

This is the first homework for Term Two..if Term One didn't go as planned, this is your fresh start! :)

Class 10/25

Sorry I'm not in today!  Complete your study guide during class period today.  You should be working on this and only this..we will review for the test on Monday, and your test will be on Wednesday.

If you like to complete study guides digitally, HERE is the link for the study guide.

Your essay is due on MONDAY.  The last part of your essay I was going to talk to you about today is your sources.  You will be using footnotes to cite your sources (the documents) instead of ( ) at the end of your sentences.

Learn how to do footnotes HERE.

'DO NOT's OF YOUR ESSAY

• do not wait til the last minute. 
• do not forget to print it out.
• do not use the words 'In my opinion', 'I think', 'In this essay', 'Me/My/Myself/I'
• do not said 'in Document One' - say who the author is and their role in nationalism..by doing that, you are presenting the actual speech/quote/author as evidence, not just a 'document'.  The 'document one' part goes in your footnotes.

Homework and Directions for Test Corrections

Because we missed class today, we will take a Socrative D.I.R.T./review quiz tomorrow on Section 24.3 (Italian and German Unification)


For anyone who gets a grade lower than a 70 (ex/ 69 and below) you are welcome to pass in test corrections to bump your grade back to a 70 (highest possible grade with test corrections).  This is not a requirement, it is just an opportunity put in a little extra work and earn back some points.

To earn the points, you must pass in test corrections WITH YOUR ORIGINAL TEST.  I will not accept corrections without the test.

On a sheet of lined paper/typed out,
1)  Rewrite the entire question you got wrong including the multiple choice selections.
2)  Identify the answer choice you originally chose.
3)  Identify the correct answer/the answer you now choose.
4)  Using complete sentences, explain why this answer is the correct answer (how do you know, where did you find the correct answer, text book/notes).
5)  Identify where you found the correct answer (book page number, powerpoint presentation, etc)

Test corrections are due on Monday, October 21

Homework 10/3

For tonights homework, please read section 24.1 Latin American Peoples Win Independence (there isn't an online version of this chapter, you'll need to use your textbook - or if you're better at the Internet than I am and you do find it, post it in the comments for everyone to enjoy)

Be ready for a Socrative DIRT quiz on the section! If you struggled last time, this is your chance to do better.  Perhaps write out the vocab and/or takes notes as you read - and make sure you DO read.

In Class 10/3

Good morning everyone..unfortunately I will not be in school today, but while I'm gone I'd like you to begin working on a crest for your (made up) country.

The link to the assignment is HERE, and you can download the PDF of the crest HERE if you need another one.

In short, this is what you need to accomplish:

• design a crest.  Must have color, and each box must be used somehow - it's up to you.  
• write a reflection that answers the questions on the assignment page (step three).  This will be posted on YOUR blog

You may print out / glue images if you'd like - drawing is totally cool too. As always, you won't be graded on drawing ability, but your ability to create a presentable piece of work.  Since you may not have the resources ideas you need today while I'm absent, some things you can be working on are the actual crest, researching what images you need/want to have on your crest and finding what they represent, or writing the post and filling in the crest later. 

There is a link on the assignment page (linked above in this post) to a website that is a huge list of commonly used symbols in national crests throughout the world.  Futhermore, THIS online chapter (not your book, but similar) has really good examples on pg 602 of how countries like the US, Austria, and Zimbabwe use their crests to reflect their national identity.

Your crest and post will be a 15pt homework grade, and the whole thing will be due Monday, October 7.  You should also be reading section 24.1 for homework tonight (see post below).
