Berlin Conference Days One and Two

Day One -

You've been invited to a party at Otto von Bismarck's!  This party is called the 'Berlin Conference' and you will be hanging out with the 'who's who' of Europe.  Your goal at the party is to discuss the division of Africa.

Your Invitation - in class -> research your country's global position in 1880s..are they wealthy? influential?  territories? political structure?  what are they making?

Role Cards 

12/12 HOMEWORK - Research the land your country had in Africa before the Berlin Conference.  Create a plan for claiming land in Africa for yourself when you compete with other European nations tomorrow in class.

Day Two - Scrambling for Africa Activity

ASAP - Group Evaluation for Project

Please complete this google form about your Child Labor project - how did you work with others, how did your group work together, self-reflection, etc.

This should take you no more than 5 minutes.  Child Labor Group Reflection

Twitter Activity 12/9

1)  Create a twitter for class use.  You can use your regular twitter if you have one, but you will also have to make in public so that everyone can see what you're tweeting.  I don't care, but make sure it is (and what you tweet) is school appropriate.

2)  Grab a word from the word bucket.

3)  Create a tweet-definition of the word you have received.  You must use the hashtag '#IMPvocab' on all of your tweets for this project (or else I won't see them and you won't get credit).

4) Find an image that visually represents the word you have chosen. Google image searching the word and choosing one will not work.  Think about what the word means and then think of situations it can occur with.  This should be tricky - its okay to have to think about it for a bit.  Tweet your pictures with '#IMPpics'

• Treats for those who come up with unique, creative images!  
• Inappropriate images will not be tolerated.  Something that is outwardly disrespectful to another culture or used in a joking manner will result in a speedy trip to your favorite vice principle.  

Homework for 12/9 - In your textbook, read Section 27.1  Big Idea/Vocab Reading quiz tomorrow (DIRT quiz!)
