HW: Pick your moment in history - once selected, begin researching...
- Pick a moment in history (individual or group that identified a problem -- local, regional or global and took action to try to solve it -- this action is the "GOOD moment" in history.
- Link to submit choice of “GOOD moment” in history (your choice but first come, first serve on the historical moment). In submitting your choice, you will need to have identified the person (or group involved and name the action they took, i.e. "Rosa Parks refusing to sit in the back of the bus on Dec. 1, 1955"). Be sure to have a 2nd option in case your option #1 is already taken. You can find a link to your class' scheduled presentations and topics already taken on the copy of the formative task document placed in your WH Drop folder .
Today, you will work on the first part of your DBQ summative. You will be completing the DBQ summative template (placed in your WH Drop folder).
It is exactly like the formative DBQ except it is for a different conflict and cause. Today's focus is on providing a text source, then evaluating the text source and developing questions that could be used to guide inquiry (research) into this particular cause of the conflict.
Next class, you will do the same but for a primary image source.
This is due by the end of the 2nd class meeting time this week. You will upload your final completed work to Schoology when finished. It is very important that you have reviewed the feedback you received on your formative (if you completed the formative on time by uploading to Schoology when it was due). This will help guide your work on the summative.
Helpful Resources for Summative DBQ:
Summative DBQ - Group Planning Doc (for sharing sources your group is using) -- 1 group member needs to make a copy and share with the rest of the group.

Today you will give your 90-second argumentative speech + your 30-second rebuttal. The groups will present in chronological order of conflicts. You have been shown the order in which you and your group members will present in. It will be important that we use today's class time efficiently so that we can get through all of the conflicts and presentations today.
| | Today you will work with a non-group partner to develop your canned counterclaim statements and talking points. Additionally, please make note that the persuasive speech is now 90 seconds + a 30 second rebuttal. This gives you more time. |
Today's class will focus on writing a strong, specific and compelling claim AND developing counterclaims to some of the other main causes of the conflict you are assigned.

HW/Prep: Continue research, find evidence to support your claim
Your homework between now and your summative conflict debate is to research and take notes. You need to find reliable (academic-worthy) sources about your conflict and selected cause to help build an argument on the position you will have in the debate.
A Block classes: Summative Argumentative Speech (Debate) is Friday, March 10th
B Block classes: Summative Argumentative Speech (Debate) is Monday, March 13th
HW tasks over the next week include:
A Block classes: Summative Argumentative Speech (Debate) is Friday, March 10th
B Block classes: Summative Argumentative Speech (Debate) is Monday, March 13th
HW tasks over the next week include:
- Find reliable sources. Look for primary sources (speeches, news articles, interviews, photographs, political cartoons, etc.) and reliable secondary sources for information.
- Find reliable, academic-worthy text evidence (quoted passages, statistics, etc.) that you can use to support your position. (do not use Wikipedia or other wiki sites or blogs; rely less on Quora, A-Z Quotes, About.com, Sparknotes, etc.) ; use less frequently Alpha History, History.com, etc.) -- go directly to the source as much as possible for your evidence. Be sure you have a variety of sources -- you'll need a variety of sources for your debate speech. Do not get all of your information from Alpha History or Crash Course videos -- Variety and Credibility is key!
- Develop a claim (what is your specific, focused and compelling claim about this cause and how it significantly played a role in this conflict?)
- Develop counterclaims -- what would others argue were contributing causes? What will your other group members be arguing? How can you recognize some of the validity of their claims while still refuting them and proving your cause was much more significant? Write your counterclaims. Make bullet point notes you can say/argue to prove your cause to be more significant in leading to conflict.
- Develop a 1-minute Argumentative speech and visual slide to help support your claim (Slide may have a primary source image and a caption and your claim statement. No other informational text allowed. -- you will submit your slide ahead of time so that Mrs. Stewart can project the slides for all students in the order you will speak. You will get to make a 30-second follow up rebuttal after your other group members have presented. This is when having those counterclaims and bullet points will really become helpful!
Today, you and your group will present to the class about the causes of the conflict you were assigned. You will receive a formative score and feedback for your individual presentation (speaking and slide information). While you are presenting as a group, the score and feedback is based on individual preparation and performance.
