Today, you will begin another formative investigation. This time, your focus will be on the Industrial Revolution. You will also work independently on your investigation. Don't worry, it is still formative. What you will also do is throughout this process, you will work with different "clock partners" to collaborate on ideas, research resources, and for peer feedback on your investigation process and documentation. This will be a "guided" independent investigation to help you prepare for the summative investigation -- one in which you will pick the revolution of your choice (Mrs. Stewart will provide a list to choose from).
Okay, let's get started! Here are links to resources you'll need for today:
Continue learning about how revolutions bring about rapid change, exam their causes, the process of change, and consequences. We will also practice taking more effective and efficient notes . . .
Helpful Links for Today's Tasks: Students, in my absence, please continue to work with your partner(s) on your investigation of the Scientific Revolution. Steps 1-7 must be completed by Sunday night @ 9pm. We will work with the data you collected, summaries your wrote, etc. in class on Monday to put it all together as a complete investigation.
Reminder: Stay focused on your group's specific topic. Use the research questions you came up with to guide your research. Only take notes on information that helps you answer the questions. Keep your notes relevant and focused. Same for your summary. Your 1-2 paragraph summary is you summarizing what you learned about your investigation on the Scientific Revolution and is essentially you answering the research questions with evidence and supporting details from your notes and sources. Also, you voted and the majority selected the Industrial Revolution for your next formative investigation (don't worry--you'll still have a chance to investigate the French Revolution when we get to the Summative Investigation if you really want to).
