Project info

The project description is linked up here

The groups are linked up here.

The reading is linked up here.

Sorry that this was a little rushed in class today.  There are 5-ish of you in each group, and there are four regions we will be looking at, so there will be one region that pulls two philosophers into the dialog. You should divide the regions amongst you so that each of you takes responsibility for one region.

Tonight, read your section of the reading. One of you should start a google document from your home computer and share it with the rest of the group and with me.  Tomorrow you should decide who is going to be which philosopher, I will give you your topic, and you can then start the dialog.

History Head Project--Engage!

Today we began the History Head project. You have each been assigned to a group with a region as a focus. (regions are repeated, by the way, so there are groups that are working on the same region.) The description of the project is linked up here.

The five themes of the course are linked up here.

The rubric for the project is linked up here.  Please note that in order to score a 4, you must exceed my stated expectations!

The project is due on Monday, September 9th at the start of class. Please have your image of the head posted on your blog by that time. We will do the gallery walk that day and move on to part two for homework that night.

Tomorrow we will write the in-class compare and contrast essay. We will not have time to work on this project in class tomorrow, so it is to be done on your own for homework.

Essay information for Friday

OK, the first test is now history! Tomorrow you will have an assembly that will take most of the period. When you make it to class, I will introduce the first project to you, which will be due on Monday. The description of the project will be posted in tomorrow's blog post, and documents will be shared with you via your school email.

On Friday you will write an essay during class.  The style will be Compare and Contrast and the topic will be drawn from Chapters 1-6.

You should look over the scoring guide that the College Board uses for this style of essay.  It is linked up here.

You will need to write the essay in either blue or black ink.  Lined paper will be provided for you.  You may not use any notes, outlines or materials existing outside of the contents of your brain to compose the essay.

And for those of you who haven't done so, I need your blog addresses emailed to me ASAP. I am compiling them and will be sharing a link with you for the page with the addresses in the next day or so.

For homework tonight, write a reflection on the test. How was it? Were there types of questions you found hard or easy? Was it what you expected? better? worse? Now that you've seen one, what will you do to prepare for the next test?
