Homework for the weekend of Feb. 10

Over the weekend, read pages 565-576 in the book, which starts chapter 22.  You will have a quiz on Chapter 21 on Monday.  The format will be matching.  Be careful what you ask for! ;)  As a bit of advanced notice, I am contemplating an essay in the middle of next week (Wednesday the 15th) and a test the week we return from vacation...

Somewhere, Over the weekend...

You should finish reading the chapter, so pages 496-504.  There will be a quiz on Chapter 19 on Tuesday, the format of which will be revealed on Monday (I'm writing it over the weekend...) but it will not be multiple choice, and it will last no more than 20 minutes.

Go Pats!

Griot

For tonight, read the excerpt from the Epic of Sundiata in the textbook on page 490. After reading it, write a blog post about the pros and cons of learning history through the methods of the griot we discussed today.  If you need to remember what a griot is all about, the sites are still posted on the protopage.com site linked up here.  Would you prefer to learn history through storytelling, music and dance, or through the textbook methods we use in US society? Why?
