Week of September 24, 2018

This week is homecoming week, so I will be giving less homework to students since there are so many activities they are involved in each night. I don’t do this often, but I try to consider outside factors when something big is going on in school. The only other time I do this is the week of the musical in early March. Every year it seems that AP students are the ones that are most often involved in EVERYTHING in school.

Monday, 9/24

• Review Video #8 for the first few minutes of class
• Reading/Discussion on the Pueblo Revolt
  • Connect to the Encomienda System, how was this a turning point in Spanish relations with Natives? How did the treatment of Natives by the Spanish AFTER this event differ from English relations with Natives?
• HW for tomorrow:
  • Part II of Video #8 V.G.
  • Video #9

Tuesday, 9/25

• Quick assessment on religion in the colonies
  • This will focus on the 1^stGreat Awakening, but also reviewing religious characteristics of the colonies (review from previous week)
• Reading/Discussion of “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God”
  • This is actually part II of the Enhanced V.G. for video #9
• 5-10 multiple-choice question assessment. I’ll be testing next Monday on period 2, so this will give me a good idea where students are at with this time period.
• HW for tomorrow:
  • Video #10

Wednesday, 9/26

• Quick review of video #10 PowerPoint
• Like yesterday, we will be working on part II of the video guide in class together
• Once finished, I will review the multiple-choice assessment from yesterday, specifically focusing on any questions that a lot of students might miss and try to figure out why
• HW for tomorrow:
  • None
  • Tonight is the PowderPuff game that most of the junior class is involved with in some form

Thursday, 9/27

• Vocab quiz on Period 2
  • This is the same vocab quiz they took last week, but I will make them write out the definitions this time – I will only give them the terms
• Students will analyze several documents from Period 2. They will be required to summarize the documents, and answer questions about their purpose and intended audience
  • I’ll be introducing them to their first DBQ soon so they should be familiar with aspects of HIPP
• HW for tomorrow:
  • Period #2 in 10 minutes

Friday, 9/28

• Due to our homecoming pep assembly, we have shortened mods today
• I’ll give the students a 10 question quick assessment on period 2 and we will discuss the answers as a class
• HW for Monday:
  • Study for period 2 test

 

Have a great week!
