You guys are awesome!I have to brag and compliment you on the amazing work you have done these past two weeks. After returning from our break with Hurricane Harvey, you have really committed to class and gotten right back into the swing of things. With readings at home and the project we started this week, you guys are getting into the thick of class - so keep it up! Here's a breakdown of what you can expect from class this week and homework to plan ahead for. Please remember all readings can be gotten from your online textbook, or PDFs can be found in Schoology. Monday: Today is the last class day you and your group have to work on your Vote for Your Empire project. Remember, the goal of your group is to create a "campaign" as to why your assigned empire is better than the rest, and the person you have to convince is ME! If you need a reminder on the instructions, check Schoology, your OneNote digital notebook, or you can find the file below. The Rubric is also posted to Schoology. Remember that at the end of this project you will have to complete a peer evaluation of your group members performance, including your own. This will be a separate daily grade. Homework: Make sure your project is reading, number one! Then, you'll start reading about the Roman Empire and China's Classical dynasties. This section is called "Comparing Empires: Rome and China" in Chapter 3. STOP at "Consolidating Empires". Tuesday: Today we start our presentations! We will try to accomplish have 4 groups one day, and 3 another. Each empire will present their project, our question period for each will take place at the end from our "mudslingers", then I will talk about each empire with reference to a PERSIAN Chart. Each student will have a copy of that chart sent to them via OneNote to take notes on. Homework: Tonight your reading comes from Chapter 3 again. This time you will start reading at "Consolidating the Roman and Chinese Empires" and stop after reading through "The Collapse of Empires". It's always a good idea to take notes during these readings!!! Wednesday: Today we finish our presentations! We will try to accomplish have 4 groups the first day, and 3 today. Each empire will present their project, our question period for each will take place at the end from our "mudslingers", then I will talk about each empire with reference to a PERSIAN Chart. Each student will have a copy of that chart sent to them via OneNote to take notes on. Homework: Tonight your reading comes from Chapter 5. You will start your reading with the section called "State and Society in China", and stop when you reach the section about "Class and Caste in India." The second part of your reading tonight is to read the section called "Slavery in Rome", and stop at "Comparing Patriarchies". NOTE: You have already read Comparing Patriarchies, and probably saw there was information about China in that section. A good idea would be to skim over it and review that information about society in China. Thursday: Now that we have covered our Classical Empires (whoo!) we are now moving to the foundations of early religion. You have already started reading about a few of these already last week, and today we're going to dig into the foundational beliefs and origins of each. Homework: Tonight's reading is one you will have some extra time for as it is chalk full of important info. Your reading will be from Chapter 4, the section called "China and the Search for Order". Stop reading at the section titled "Cultural Traditions of Classical India". Friday: Today we are going to work on our skill of contextualization with Early Religions. Students will work in groups to better understand the beginnings of early religions by looking at surrounding/background information for each. This includes Social Context, Political Context, and other areas. Homework: This weekend make sure you have spent time reading from Chapter 4, "China and the Search for Order". This might be a good time to catch up on any other reading/notes you may have fallen behind on. :) This Monday you will also be receiving a sheet that needs to be signed by parents about the Pilot Program our class has the opportunity to participate in. Please see the flyer below for more information and please bring back the white paper signed as soon as possible.
