Grade 8

Note to Students: This week, you will use a Document Based Questions (DBQ) packet of … well, documents and questions… to help you begin the process of examining the pros and cons of globalization.  Please make a copy of the document template for your notes. This is where you will record your notes and thoughts as you go through the DBQ packet (link below).
Task Instructions:
Read through the packet of documents and use the questions below each document to help you closely analyze the document or image provided. Decide whether the document helps support an argument of the positive impacts (pros) of globalization -- or the negative impacts (cons).  You will later sort this into a list of supporting text-based evidence. This will help you build an argument for the Globalization Pros/Cons debate and you can refer back to this when you begin preparing for the debate.

You may partner up and work with 1-2 other students on this task during class. However, you must complete your OWN document.

Work is due Monday, May 1st.  Submit work regardless of whether you have completed all tasks by Monday or not.  This is this week’s classwork and homework!
