Reading for Tuesday, January 4th

Hopefully everyone is resting up over the break. I imagine you are just itching to learn some more world history. So before we come back to school please read Strayer 589-598. Happy holidays.

Homework for the week of December 13th

For class on Wednesday please prepare as much as possible for the exam on Friday. We will set aside the whole period for review, but the session will be most effective if you bring specific questions with you. See you then.

Assignments for Friday and Tuesday

For Friday, Dec. 3rd, please compile the list of identification terms for chapter 18 handed out earlier this week. You do not have to submit the ones for chapter 17 that are also on the list. On Friday in class you will spend the entire period writing a Document Based Question essay. The essay will be graded, but all of the information you will need to write it will be in the documents provided, so you don't have to study anything or bring any outside knowledge.

For Tuesday, Dec. 7th, read Strayer 559-571, and have a great weekend!

Reading for Wed. Dec. 1st

Please read Strayer 541-555. We will be discussing the Industrial Revolution in Latin America. In addition, please read the sample DBQ essay handed out during last class and bring a list of the four things you were asked to identify (thesis, POV, grouping & faults). You should also be working on preparing Ids for chapter 18 to turn in Friday.

Happy Thanksgiving!

I just wanted to let everyone know what a great job I think you're doing in World History Intensive. I know the first quarter was very challenging, and you have all done a great job adjusting to very high expectations. I'm most impressed with your drive and willingness to learn. No homework over the break. Relax and spend some time with family. We'll hit the ground running on November 29th and work real hard until Christmas.

Homework and reading for Thursday, Nov. 18th

Please read Strayer, 534-541 and complete the DBQ essay. Remember that we're trying to simulate test conditions, so please spend exactly one hour writing; no more, no less. On Thursday we will workshop these essays in class. It would be helpful if they all looked the same. Please type, double-space, use Times New Roman 12 pt font, one-inch margins.

Reading for Tuesday, Nov. 16th

Please read Strayer, 527-533. There is no Reilly reading, but we will be working with primary source documents in class on Tuesday in a document based question exercise. See you then...
