You have been placed into groups based on time periods.  Your task is to make an infographic to sum up what the world is like/what's going on in that time period. Can you boil that down to one or two words?  can you encapsulate the changes and continuities by region? What happens in multiple places? What is unique and distinctive about each region? What is a good visual way to represent what's going on?  Examples of infographics can be found at dailyinfographic.com.  You can create infographics using a number of tools: visual.ly, infogr.am, piktochart.com, prezi (to a lesser extent) or you can just make up one yourself using a presentation app. I'd like to have these done by the end of class on Tuesday so people have a chance to use them to review.

May 8th

For tonight, go to www.getafive.com. The class code is FLFF6LG.  Register for the site and take the diagnostic test. It is 39 questions and is not at all graded; it will just give me a look at what we can/should target in our review.

 The site also has other review options for you, though as Twinkle said, some of it doesn't work as well as others--I don't recommend making it your only source of review materials!  Think of it as a supplement to what we do in class.

 Tomorrow we will wrap up the end of the cold war and start looking at the review process!

Homework for May 6

For tonight, read pages 1063-1067.  I'm assuming that you remember the Korean War and Cuban Missile crisis from US history, and that you are aware of the space race, McCarthyism and the Civil Rights movement as well.  If you don't know about any of the above mentioned, (and by that I mean, you don't recognize the main topics--you don't need more than that) then feel free to read what the textbook has to say on the subjects. Otherwise, read pages 1077-1081.
