Note the dates at the top of each of these posts -- if you are a "white day" kiddo, you don't have to work on this until we are in class together on Wednesday and I get you started. While I love the initiative you may have to work ahead, there will be times some things won't make sense out of order and without the in-class guides and starters. ; )
Reminder: the "History Basics Homework" assignment was due in Google Classroom.
A new handout, "Mental Map Timeline" was distributed that we will use all throughout the year, as it is a visual timeline of the units of study we will explore this year while adding notes to it, as well. Today we added a diagram on the back side to explain the AD/CE - BC/BCE dates system and then talked our way through the front side of the handout to preview what we'll be studying this year and why.
We began our Humanity Intro mini unit today; there will be writing at the end, but it will be a short unit. Put on your seat belt and keep up with the ride! We set up a blue sheet of paper as our "Humanity Intro mini unit Essential Question" page with the essential question of "What does it mean to be human?" and a clarifier note to go beyond the science short answer to the exploratory idea of what the human experience is. To begin this, we viewed a short video by the UN about human rights while adding brief notes to our EQ page that pertains to the essential question; be sure first to create a subheading "UN Human Rights video" so you have a record of the source from which you noted the information. (Finish the video from your leave-off point from class. Hours 3 & 4 maroon day finished in class.)
Continue adding EQ notes to your EQ page, creating a source subheading each time you shift to a new source: Human Rights PSAs #1, 4, 11, 12, 14, 18, 19, 20, 24, & 26; the short clip from Over the Hedge, & the 2 short clips from Pocahontas.
What do I do?
1. Check post dates -- easier work if you don't work ahead or out of order. (Pro tip.) ; )
2. Complete & review Mental Map Timeline.
3. Set up EQ page.
4. Take EQ notes from HR video, HR PSAs, Over the Hedge clip, & Pocahontas clips.
