World History

A bit of time was given for remaining work on the Reading Claim & Evidence on the Reformation article to be completed with the option of additional work time in Advisory.  If you were absent, see me to set up a time to make up this scored work.  We then began a Claim & Evidence on the extended documentary Guns, Germs, & Steel -- using a flow chart handout for the complicated thesis, and setting up a sheet of your own paper for all of the evidence notes.  On the thesis flow chart, use the numbers associated with each idea in the "answer bank" when you plug the stuff into the oval and boxes so that as you change your mind and revise throughout the many-day viewing of the film, you can easily erase/cross-out and replace numbers; at the very end, when you are confident in the accuracy of the flow chart THEN we'll write in the actual words.  On the evidence page, title it "Guns, Germs, & Steel Evidence" and then create a subheading for this first of three parts of the film: "Part One:  Out of Eden."  We viewed through 20:26.  All materials are loaded in Google Classroom.  This work, if missed, can and should be made up as homework -- the Claim & Evidence will not be collected for a C&E score, but rather, will be used for a scored Socratic discussion.
