We had an AMAZING homecoming week together. Check out some of our pictures below!Please note that you can ALWAYS keep track of what's going on during the week via our Calendar page on this same website. We also have calendars updated on Schoology AND it is updated every week on our back whiteboard in the classroom.
Here's the plan for this week in class and for homework: Monday - I will not be on campus today and have left several activities like a Crash Course video and questions, a contextualization chart, and primary source analysis for the spread of Islam.
Tuesday - Today we are going to combine our learning of views of Christianity and Islam and how it applies to views of trade and merchants. We are going to use primary sources and practice analysis of them to prepare for our first DBQ essay coming up.
Wednesday - Today's class period will be spent in lecture. We're going to look at China during the Post-Classical period and the major achievements of the dynasties of the Sui, Tang, and Song.
Thursday - Today we are going to get moving around with a gallery walk. You'll examine and learn about Imperial China during 600 to 1450 during the period as another way to review the Sui, Tang, and Song dynasties.
Friday - Today we are going to continue studying the Sui, Tang and Song dynasty with some practice on Point of View of documents. There will be a small activity to practice understanding the Point of View of "something", then we are going to go through and analyze point of view of some primary sources from the Post-Classical period in China.

AP Exam RegistrationALL students should have, by Sunday, October 15th, have indicated whether they would like to take the AP Exam for this course. This was done with students in class, and it was recommended for students to go ahead and register as a late registration could have resulted in a $94 late fee, and the cancellation fees are voided until after February. Please visit at home about students responded and contact Ms. Hatchett ([email protected]) if you have any concerns on the College Board side. ALL students between now and February now need to register via the Klein Oak Website at Total Registration. From there, students must register and pay for their AP Exam. Please see the flyer below about information for payments. Now, weekly breakdown:Tuesday: Today in class we are working on a WebQuest (information that learners work with comes from the web) where students are learning about the Indian Ocean Trade Network that developed during the Post Classical era. This was sent to students via the Handouts tab in OneNote notebooks. Homework: Tonight, your homework is to read from Chapter 7, the "Sea Roads" section. This will reiterate some of the information you learned in class from our WebQuest. Wednesday: Today, students will be competing in pairs on a QR Code hunt to find and sort different goods, ideas, etc. that spread along the major trade networks of the Post Classical Era. Students have to sort the information correctly in order to win. Homework: Students will have a Crash Course video to view on Indian Ocean Trade and questions to answer about the content presented. This will be sent to students in their OneNote notebook in the "Homework" tab. Thursday: If needed, students will spend part of the period finishing the QR Code hunt. Then, the next project will be introduced. The PDF instructions of the project and its rubric can be found below and in students' Schoology course. Homework: Tonight, your homework is to read from Chapter 7, the "Sand Roads" and "American Network" sections. Friday: Today students will have the class period to work with their groups on their Trade Network Project. Students might spend the period researching and compiling information in order to work next week on creating the final product. Homework: Students need to spend the weekend working on the project or presentation on their assigned Trade Network from the Post Classical Era.
Last week was AWESOME on our "Teacher Dress-Up" Day. Check out pictures from those who dressed up like me! This week is a short one, so let's do this and finish out the first marking period strong. Monday: Today in class we will have our Retest over Unit 1. The Reteach Packet for Unit 1 MUST be complete before you can take the retest. If it isn't done, you must finish it on your own time, and come before/after school to take the Retest. Homework: You have a reading tonight from Chapter 6 on "Civilizations of Africa". This would be a good time to rededicate yourself to these and taking notes over them if you didn't do as well on the exam as you wanted. Tuesday: Today in class we are going to work on our Short Answer Questions (SAQs) skills. Remember that the AP Exam has a short answer section, so it's important we know how to rewrite these SMART, not FAST. Homework: Tonight you have a reading that introduces Period 3, "Big Picture". Check Schoology for the PDF or use your online textbook. Wednesday: Today is PSAT day - we are actually on an altered schedule. If I see you in class (5th, 6th, and 7th Period), we will spend the day working on one of several items:
Homework: Tonight you'll be reading from Chapter 7, the section titled "Silk Roads". PDF will be on Schoology or use your online textbook. Thursday: Today we'll first take our Dates Quiz - it WON'T take the whole period. Then we are going to preview Period 3 with a discussion and activity about what makes the "Post-Classical" different from the "Classical" Period. Homework: FLASHBACK! to when we watched Crash Course cause that's homework for the weekend. You'll watch Crash Course's "Silk Roads" video and answer some questions about it. Due Tuesday when I see you again. And you know what... y'all have worked so hard... Why don't you take Friday AND Monday off?See you October 17th! |
