World History

In 3rd hour, we finished viewing Crash Course: Decolonization and recording our best thesis -- papers to be returned and edited, and winner announced tomorrow.  In 7th hour the Crash Course thesis pages were returned, edited, and the winners (2!) were announced.  We viewed a slideshow of images created by historians and artists to show what a few famous people from history might look like if they were alive today and then we viewed and discussed a very short slide show of related thoughts -- email me and I'll Google share both slideshows with you.    We then viewed images of people from around the world with their "week's worth of groceries"  (https://fstoppers.com/food/what-week-groceries-looks-around-world-3251) In 7th hour we began viewing form You tube episode #3 of "Human" while recording bullet-point answers to our cycling-back essential question -- "What does it mean to be human?"
