As requested, here is what is required for your nationalism and political change critical analysis plot graph. You will recall that we compared the German Unification and the Italian Unification in terms of two related factors:
Your homework task is to complete the graph by doing the readings in the text on Austria-Hungary, the Ottoman Empire, and Russia and evaluating them based on the same criteria as above.
You need to re-create the graph (neatly!), add plots that express your rankings for these countries, and provide a short paragraph justification for your choices for each country. Be prepared to defend your choices tomorrow, as we will be comparing and debating them! Here are the assignment expectations for your visual project! You will create EITHER a poster or mind map comparing the Italian and German unifications.
You may choose your EQ (the second is slightly more challenging):
In terms of research expectations, you must do the following:
You must use, but are not limited to using, the following sources
You will be assessed using the Visual Project Rubric so make sure to use the criteria as a checklist as you work! Your task, as explained in class, is to work in your groups to understand, further research, and ultimately teach the class about your assigned topic area in the text.
The Essential Question around which your inquiry will be framed is:
Each of your sections primarily addresses only one part of this question. So, you will need to do an effective job of informing the rest of your class how, based on your research, you have gathered evidence to help respond to the question overall. In doing so, you will create two "products," both of which are due on Monday. First, you will create a detailed one-page Study Guide explaining the key historical developments in detail. It should also make a specific, evidence-based argument related to the Essential Question. Second, you will create a 5-10 minute presentation to introduce the "highlights" of your assigned topic. During the other groups presentations, you should be copious notes and use these along with the study guide to answer the EQ on an upcoming test. Hey guys, your homework for this week is as follows:
1) Read, annotate, and outline Sections 2 and 3 of Chapter 7 on social life and the push form reforms during the Industrial Revolution in England. You have a quiz on the Industrial Revolution (video and text sources, primary and secondary) on Wednesday. 2) For Thursday, finish analyzing the Sadler Report using the Analyzing Primary Sources Organizer, which forces you to go through the thinking moves historians make: Sourcing, Contextualizing, Close Reading, and Corroborating. Upload the organizer to Google Drive. 3) Also for Thursday, use the documents to complete the blog post in which you are tasked with crafting a persuasive argument on the need for reforms in working conditions. All needed documents are still on Google Drive. Read pp. 261-72 and do online research as necessary to create a digital timeline of the major technological innovations (10+) of the Industrial Revolution
Each technological innovation needs: –An inventor and date of invention –An image –An explanation –Your top three need to be highlighted and your reasoning for their greater significance also needs to be explained We will be using http://timeglider.com/ Please add a link to your timeline on your blog. Even better, you can embed it directly. Here's a guide: https://timeglider.com/guide/#publishing_embedding This is due on Thursday. I seem to be the most excited about this revolutionary development in our school: I'm SO HAPPY we have Wifi!!!
We will be using educational technologies much more in class from here on out. To begin with, navigate to the following link, quickly sign up, and respond to the prompt on screen.:
Your homework for Monday is to read and take notes on Chapter 6 on the French Revolution and Napoleon. Please note that this chapter is a little long, so be sure to set aside sufficient time. The textbook DOES count as one of your six sources for your Comparative Revolutions Project, so you're killing two bird with one, er, guillotine.
Focus specifically on identifying and analyzing the short- and long-term causes of the French Revolution, the main events, the most important outcomes, and whether its main architects were ultimately successful in achieving their goals. You will have a test on American and French Revolutions on Wednesday, November 27. The French and American Revolutions were indisputably two of the most important events in the history of Western civilization. Each discredited absolutism, obliterated aristocratic privileges, gave rise to democratic forms of government, and spread the values of liberalism and nationalism, which continue to shape global affairs to the present day. For your next project, you will compare and contrast these revolutions to answer the following Essential Question:
To gather sufficient information to answer these questions effectively, you are required to use a minimum of six credible sources. You will find two highly advanced academic sources below, which you are free to use if you want a challenge and/or to base your arguments on more authoritative evidence, thus making your argument more compelling. You will also find several primary source documents from the revolutions. You may use as many primary sources as you can find; however, they can only count as two of your minimum of six sources. This project will be completed in two stages:
Primary Source Documents:
American Revolution Samuel Adams, The Rights of the Colonists Declaration and Resolves of the First Continental Congress Patrick Henry: Give Me Liberty or Give me Death Thomas Paine, Common Sense Declaration of Independence French Revolution Abbe Sieyes: What is the Third Estate? Tennis Court Oath Declaration of the Rights of Man and the Citizen Olympe de Gouges: Declaration of the Rights of Women Maximilien Robespierre: The Cult of the Supreme Being (part of dechristianization) Maximilien Robespierre: Justification of the Use of Terror Hey guys,
For your reference, your next blog post will you taking on the role of Galileo and writing a defense of his actions at his trial. Of course, this entails a re-imagining of the actual historical events and research into what his arguments had been at the time. Begin by reading the primary source documents on the accusations against him, the ruling of the Inquisition, and his "abjurations" (admission of guilt). What did Galileo argue and why were his theories seen as such a threat? What was he convicted of, and why did he respond the way he did? How might he have defended himself? In order to understand his theories and thinking, I recommend you skim and scan his "Letter to the Grand Duchess of Tuscany" (click on the link). |
