World History

Students used a new work page -- Unit-Closure Work Page -- to organize the big pieces of info from the many work papers we've already done...please feel free to help each other as needed, but all of the info is in your papers already.  This should help you review and see the big picture of what we've done so far before we move into some skills performances to wrap up the unit and will also be used as part of your study guide for the final exam.  Then, add a simple picture note or a hashtag for EACH item on the UCWP.  (For example, I might draw a small stick person holding a microphone to represent "voice" -- someone expressing their idea.)  They should obviously be school-appropriate. These additions force you to process exactly what each item means (pushes comprehension) and then later, when it's time to review and memorize for the exam, you have these memory tricks already in place.  We then began a team review game -- to be finished in class on Monday.
