conceptual understanding: the power of ideas

11/21/2018

 
Today, we will continue working with the concept map you developed. We will turn the conceptual relationships you identified into statements.  You will list these statements and decide on 1 statement you want to focus on.  You will use this statement as a topic. You will then write 1-2 paragraphs on this topic and post it to SeeSaw.  This is a journaling/free-writing exercise to demonstrate your understanding of the concepts. Please do not use your notes for this. 

Use the following Conceptual Understanding Rubric to guide the depth and details you include in your writing.

Sneak-peek: revolutions


What causes a revolution?
There are several factors that may lead to a revolution--rarely is there only 1 cause. Often there are underlying factors.  

Consider the story of Alphonse the Camel -- was this not true for poor Alphonse's death? Revolutions are similar...it is not always caused by the final straw.

Let's take a look at a modern-day revolution to see how it began and what underlying factors may have been present that contributed to the start:
  • Mohamed Bouazizi: The Spark that Ignited the Arab Spring (the globalist)
  • ​The Arab Spring: A Year of Revolution (NPR)

HW: Read Human Story CH. 13

Read The Human Story, Chapter 13. Take notes on some of the revolutionary changes it addresses (hint: there are several revolutions mentioned in this chapter).  Use the guiding questions to decide what is worth taking notes on.
​Remember, only take notes on information that helps you answer the questions.

Socratic Discussion: Enlightenment philosophers & the power of ideas

11/19/2018

After Today's Socratic Discussion... Concept mapping 

You will work on mind-mapping out the ideas and insights you now have about the relationship between the concepts of power, values (or ideology), change and conflict.

You will use this concept map to brainstorm a list of statements of understanding you now have about these concepts within the context of how ideas can lead to revolutionary change within society.  


HW: write 1-2 paragraphs (on seesaw) about your insights to the power of ideas

Based on your statements, choose one of your statements to be a TOPIC sentence for a paragraph summary. This statement is essentially a claim.  You will write your explanation of this statement for homework (please limit this to 1-2 paragraphs--no more than 2 paragraphs). You will post this to SeeSaw for homework.
