World History 9: Daily Agenda

1/11/2017

 
Picture
  • In today's class we will be discussing human nature, the history of human behavior with regards to whether we behave more warlike or more peaceful. 
Today's tasks:
  • You will be reading an article "War or Peace" and discussing the article.
  • You will discuss within your small group after you've had a chance to form your own ideas.
  • You will use text evidence from the article to form a an argumentative position (viewpoint) about human nature and whether we tend to be more warlike or peaceful.
  • You will conduct a brief Google search for any articles, quotes or sources that help support your viewpoint
  • You will spend 15 minutes in a writing exercise to explain your viewpoint and use text evidence to support your ideas. This will be typed in Schoology.

HW: Schoology Discussion: "Are we more warlike or more peaceful"?

"Everyone has an opinion about whether we are peaceful or warlike. It matters." - David Barash
After reading and discussing the article "War or Peace" by David Barash, and after a brief search for any further examples that support your own viewpoint on this topic, please spend 15 minutes summarizing your view on whether we (humans) are indeed more warlike -- or more peaceful.  Use text evidence from the article (and any other information you find in your brief search) to support your views. You may also use any other examples (personal, current events, historical) to support your views as well.
Afterwards, you will be asked to read through other students' responses and before next class, respond to at least 2 other student's responses: 1 follow up response to a student that has a similar viewpoint to yours and 1 follow up response to a student that has an either an opposing viewpoint to your own views--or a different degree of opinion (think of the spectrum/line activity in class).  
Remember, we learn both from those who share our viewpoints as well as learn from others with different viewpoints
