World History 9: Daily Agenda

Celebrating 'Good Moments' in History

5/28/2020

 

First... Students will (informally) present their selected 'good moment' from history.

Picture

Then, let's look at how we are recording our own history
​--what is happening right now.

Read the following Article: Journaling during the pandemic, for yourself and the historians
START DOING -- OR CONTINUE (if you already are doing this):
  • Journal your life right now. Yes, a bit of the "Dear Diary" is exactly what you will appreciate someday. And it helps preserve these moments for generations to come.
  • Photograph your life right now. It is okay to do this digitally--but at some point you will want to print these photos out if your really want to ensure you have it as memorabilia or for archiving.
  • Get inspired by perusing A Journal of the Plague Year, a curatorial consortium of archivists, museum professionals, and researchers archiving COVID-19-- you, too, can contribute!

Closing Thoughts...

May 26/27: Good Moments in History

5/26/2020

 
Picture
Picture

From the First Day of World History Class...

-- Remember this video from the beginning of the school year?  
Do you recognize some of these moments we’ve studied this year?
What do you notice about the human story told?  Which stories are told? Which ones are not told? 
How do the stories we choose to learn about and tell about history shape our perception of our human history?

How the year turned out so different than we anticipated...

The Butterfly Effect:
​

Task: (individual or group --your choice):
Find a 'Good' Moment in History to Report Out to the Class

A link to a class presentation slide deck will be shared with you (look in Schoology).

You can edit the slide deck. Add your own slide with your chosen 'Good' Moment in History

May 19-22: Summative: Evaluating Research Questions

5/19/2020

 
There is a document that will be dropped to your World History Google Drop Folder for you to complete the summative tasks.
The document is titled: "Summative: Research Questions (Unit 4)". 
Please complete all summative work within this document.  
​

Due Dates: 
A Blocks: May 21st at end of class.
B Blocks: May 22nd at end of class.

Task #1: Developing Questions for Research


Picture
List the initial research topic, primary research question(RQ) and supporting questions (SQs) you developed. You can find these in Schoology, within the Unit 4 folder, in the "Formative: Developing Questions for Research"

Note changes (if any) to your research topic, RQ and/or SQs since you started research.


Task #2: Evaluating Effectiveness of Questions Used in Research

In the 2nd part of this summative you will list the actual supporting questions you chose to use for guiding your research. This includes the question used for analyzing the 3 different perspectives.

You will evaluate each question used and address how it helped you in the research. You can also address any challenges you faced with any particular question(s).

You will then evaluate the overall set of questions and how effective the set was in guiding the research process. Reflect on whether this worked well for you and what changes, if any, you would make if you could do it all over again --or next time you conduct research.

Please note, your evaluation can be done in writing --or-- you can choose to record your evaluation as a video or audio recording using Loom. If you choose to use Loom, please be sure to add the link to your recording within the evaluation section of your summative document.


Loom Option Instructions: https://www.loom.com/share/50ed7840e2c447b3bf6c08336f111476

Submitting Your Summative Work:
To submit it, you do not need to do anything other than be sure to leave the document in your WH Drop Folder. 
​
Depending on how well your research is organized and the degree of success and/or challenges you faced in the research, this summative (both tasks) should take you no more than 1 hour to complete. You have 2 class blocks (2 hours) to complete this.  Some of you may be able to complete this in under 30 minutes.  Please refer to the rubric so that you are ensuring you are performing at the highest level you can to demonstrate these skills.

May 15/18: Finalize Perspectives Summative

5/15/2020

 

Check-in: Peer 'Critical Friends' Feedback on Summative

In small groups in Breakout Rooms you will provide and receive constructive feedback using the 'Critical Friends' protocol. See sentence stems below to help guide the feedback you provide to your partner(s). 
Picture

Keep working! Complete by the end of class.

You will stay on the Zoom meeting call and keep working within your Breakout Room. Just turn your camera and microphone off while you work. 

If you need help, you can ask your partner(s) or ask for help and it will alert your teacher to join your Breakout Room to assist you.


Note: since this is a summative, I cannot give you feedback on your summative work before you submit it (that would be akin to asking your math teacher if you have the correct answers before submitting a math summative)--and you already received feedback on 2 of the perspectives in the formative. What I can assist with during the summative is to help provide clarification on what the tasks are asking of you, clarification on the rubric, or assist you in thinking through about some aspects of the different perspectives of your issue. 


Completed the Perspectives Summative? That's it for now!
Focus on wrapping up your research and completing your summative for English!

You should begin wrapping up your research. 

The next priority is to be sure you have enough research complete to finish your English summative on the central debate of your issue.  After you feel that you've done enough research to complete the English summative and have enough information to attempt to answer your research question, then you are done!  

The next task in World History will be to resubmit your
Research Question and Supporting Questions. 


We will do this next week.   For many of you, the Research Question and/or Supporting Questions may have changed since you submitted this as a "formative" at the start of your research. That is normal and to be expected in authentic research as research can lead you in different directions once you start. Further instructions will be given to you later on about this.  

This next World History summative will also help you prepare for your English "oral defence" in which you have to discuss your research topic and the research process.

You will submit the research question and supporting questions by the end of class on the following dates, depending on your block:

A Blocks: May 21st
B Blocks: May 22nd



May 13/14: Start Summative on Perspectives

5/13/2020

 

Check-in Discussion: Identifying a 3rd Perspective

Picture
Picture
Now that you have looked at 2 opposing perspectives for a specific question about your issue, what other points of view exist? 
​
You will need to identify a 3rd perspective
 (3rd point-of-view, opinion, idea, or 3rd possible response to your question).

  • ​Is there a "middle" or moderate perspective--someone who considers themselves as agreeing with some aspects of both opposing positions? 
  • Is there an "alternate" perspective that rejects both opposing views or has an entirely separate position on the issue?
Picture
Picture

Begin work on the "Summative Perspectives" tasks...

There is a document that has been dropped into your Google WH Drop folder for this. 
You may copy any work from your "Formative: Perspectives" document. You can add to/edit/improve anything from the formative that is also being asked of you in the summative--this is an opportunity to improve and demonstrate these skills at the highest level you can.

You will need to expand this to identify, analyze and summarize a 3rd perspective.

Picture

Summative Task #1:
​Identify and Summarize (using evidence) 3 varying perspectives on your issue.

Summative Task #2:
​Evaluate the value and limitations of sources used to analyze and summarize perspectives.

You have 2 class blocks to do this work. 

It is due at the end of next class.
A Blocks: Due Friday, May 15th.
B Blocks: Due Monday, May 18th
