Talking About A Revolution (Sounds Like An Essay!): November 3, 2014

So do you guys get the musical reference in the blog title?  No?  Go ask your parents…. In fact, I tell you what - the first parent to identify the song reference correctly in the blog comments wins five points for their student to use on a late or missing class assignment!  (Now I can see who's reading this blog, too!)

Okeydoke, on with the show…today, per 1 and 2 reviewed themes and common ideas about the underlying causes of the Revolution.  They completed that task and reviewed my handout on historical essay introductions.

Per 5 and 6 finished reviewing their themes and common ideas, and we did some group work to identify the common themes they saw.  They completed all four major underlying causes.

Per 7 began catching up from missing class last Friday.  Students who are doing the events approach began a graphic organizer.  Students who are doing the causes and justification approach started identifying the underlying causes that led to the Revolution.  As you can see, we had a very busy day today!

HOMEWORK:

Per 1 & 2 - please submit a draft thesis statement ON SEPARATE PAPER for me to check.
Complete the Evidence Analysis worksheet.

Per 5 & 6 - If you are doing the events approach, make sure you have items B, D, and G from the DBQ finished for tomorrow. If you are doing the underlying causes or justification approach, complete the Evidence Analysis worksheet.

Per 7 - see homework from above.  If you don't understand what to do, come in tomorrow with as much done as you can understand and we'll review it tomorrow.
