For Monday, please be sure to complete the following.
Racial Nationalism and Imperialism Primary Source Analysis
Read through all of the documents and complete an Primary Source Analysis Organizer for each one. This is is undoubtedly time-consuming, but it is important that you develop strong familiarity with the analytical process historians go through when examining primary documents.
Preparation for Monday's Socratic Seminar
You need to come to class extremely well-prepared to discuss the documents in great detail. You should do a lot of comparing and contrasting of the sources and bring very detailed notes so that you can reference specific details. The discussion will be student led. In other words, you will be doing all the talking, asking and answering each others' questions.
Accordingly, you must also come prepared with at least two higher-order questions for each article with a focus on comparing the worldviews and arguments of the different authors. Use the "Higher Order Questions Thinking Stems" on Google Drive to help you. Also, do not hesitate to ask questions about peoples' opinions on the readings, the underlying themes and issues, the historical period in question, and how the themes and issues may or may not reflect life in 2015.
This seminar will be assessed using the Socratic Seminar Holistic Rubric (on Google Drive) and you will receive detailed feedback. It will also help prepare you for your upcoming essay.
