Moving right along, here are some important things to know about this week.
Monday: Today we have tablet rollout! Our class period will be spent doing things like adding Dyknow, our digital notebook through OneNote, and other "techy" tasks that need to be completed. NO HOMEWORK TONIGHT. Tuesday: Most classes still need some extra time to finish up our AP Style short answer questions, so that is what we will do today. If you want to refresh on SAQs and how to write them, the PowerPoint is available on Schoology. Homework: Today starts our first night of reading. The section you are responsible for is "Persia and Greece". Students can use their digital textbook via Schoology. Also, the file for this reading can be found on Schoology. Take notes via your new digital notebook via OneNote. Wednesday: Today we are beginning Period 2, or what we call the Classical Period. This will consist of a discussion about how we perceive "empires" and the model we will use to define and analyze different empires during this period of history. Homework: Reading tonight but skip ahead and read the section "Contrasting Patriarchies" in Chapter 5. Thursday: We are introducing our first project of the year today. The "Vote for your Empire" project allows students to analyze different traits of Classical Empires in groups. This project will be due on September 19. Between today and its due date, students will have the period to work together. Homework: Reading tonight. Go to Chapter 3 and read the section "Collision: Greco-Persian Wars". Friday: Today will be spent working on our "Vote for Your Empire" Project in groups. Homework: Reading. Go to Chapter 4 and read "Zoroastrianism, Judaism & Greek Rational Knowledge".
