We'll finish defining the Outline of Popular Details Hinduism terms tomorrow, when Mrs. Cluver is back in the afternoon.  Today, take 5-10 minutes to collaborate on EQ1 & EQ2 notes to add to your EQ page about Hinduism, using the information in your notes from Friday's slideshow.  We then began a scored skill assessment -- a Context & Lens from the Hindu primary source, The Bhagavad Gita.  If you were absent, you will make up the C&L work in class, as it is scored.  (The other work -- collaborating -- can be done at home or in Advisory.)

We finished working collaboratively on the symbols work page and then discussed and edited as a whole class.  We then began work on our first case study -- Hinduism, adding notes to the Outline of Popular Details from my slideshow; see a reliable classmate and then look at the slideshow for helpful visuals.  Students then collaborated over the Hinduism notes to see what is relevant to put on the EQ page for EQ 1 and for EQ 2 -- a bit more time will be given on Monday to finish the EQ collaboration.

Please come in during Advisory of you'd like to go through the content from the December final exam.  ;)  We set up our World Religions E.Q. page (see a reliable classmate).  We took notes on discussed, and color-coded a few things in the Outline of Popular details (see a reliable classmate).  We added a few non-case study religions/philosophies to our CQ page for potential later research -- pick a few of interest to you from the Secular & Social Harmony category and/or from the next page.  We began collaborative introductory work on a symbols work page -- label the symbols and put the correct religion/philosophy match on each line -- more time in class tomorrow to finish this.

ASVB testing of sophomores today.  Back to our regularly scheduled program tomorrow. ; )

KCC

Students finished their collaborative work on the Lincoln contextual information.  We then set up our Lincoln Viewing Notes instructions, added some family history notes on the top of the back page, and will begin the viewing and note-taking tomorrow.  We also went over the content from the final exam.

U.S. History

We finished EQ notes & CQ questions while viewing the remainder of the video detailed yesterday.  Bring with you tomorrow your first semester UCWPs to use as I go over the exam content.  We did a skills reboot by completing a self-evaluation on our performance of the subskills bullet-pointed for each history skill like we did earlier in the year -- see me.  We revisited via Smart board the checklist of Civil War Era unit items of study and found them in our folders.  Then, we previewed what few things of the unit are left to accomplish, beginning next with analysis of the film Lincoln.  To this end, we began a scored Context & Lens assessment to gain scholarly critique of the film -- if you were absent, see me to set up a time to make up this work.

World History

We finished note-taking on the Bizarre Foods episode as detailed yesterday and then discussed as a class.  Tomorrow have your UCWPs with you to use as I go over the exam content. We did a skills reboot by completing a self-evaluation on our performance of the subskills bullet-pointed for each history skill like we did earlier in the year -- see me.  We then began our unit on World Religions via a slideshow as an introductory hook and then we set up our new E.Q. and C.Q. pages (see a reliable classmate for that set up).

Reminder -- Chapter 13 due this Friday.  Tomorrow -- have your first semester UCWPs with you so you can mark and edit items as I go over the first semester exam content.  We did a skills reboot by completing a self-evaluation on our performance of the subskills bullet-pointed for each history skill like we did earlier in the year -- see me.  We revisited via Smart board the checklist of Civil War Era unit items of study and found them in our folders.  Then, we previewed what few things of the unit are left to accomplish, beginning next with analysis of the film Lincoln.  We worked collaboratively on what would have been "context & lens" work pages to get scholarly assessment of the film -- not for a score; freedom to collaborate!  ; )

We added to our EQ and CQ pages while viewing the "Gold Rush" episode of 10 Days That Unexpectedly Changed America (available on You tube).
