10/19 and 10/20 4th and 5th Period AP WH

We spent time reviewing the Comparative Essays between the Roman Empire and Han China. We took a reading quiz on chapter 6. We continued taking notes on chapter 6 but did not finish chapter 6.  Please watch the video link below for the rest of the notes on chapter 6.  Take good notes.  There are a lot of test questions in the video.  Write down any questions you have from the video and we will discuss in class.  Next class we will go over chapter 7.  Being familiar with pages 202-212 before next class will be very helpful, I'm not saying you have to read every word, but I would look that information over.  We are shooting for having our next test at the end of this week or the beginning on next week.

10/8 and 10/9 3rd and 4th Period APWH

Students wrote a very short practice comparative essay today.  We started notes on Rome.  Rome is such a big topic I am posting two videos that will serve as the notes for Rome.  You need to watch them and take notes before next class.  We will not take anymore notes on Rome in class, however we will discuss things that the video covered.  You need to come to next class with Rome notes and having read page 157-167 (possibly RQ).  During the next class we will discuss things from the Roman video notes and take notes on Han China.  We will then begin to discuss comparisons between Rome and Han China to prepare for a comparative essay we will be writing in class at the end of next week.  I am thinking 4th period will do it 10/15 and 3rd period will do it 10/16.  Here are the links to the Rome video notes.  Some of the information on the first link I may have covered in class already.

10/6 and 10/7 3rd and 4th Period APWH

We almost finished our notes on Greece today.  Students need to "Compare Greek and Persian civilizations in terms of cultural traits, religious beliefs, and social organizations."  They just need to find one example of each and bring it to the next class.  When we finish the notes on Greece next class we are going to write a VERY short comparative essay.  This will be just practice before our big essay on Rome and China in a week or two. 
***Students need to read pages 142-156 before next class and be ready (as always) for a possible RQ.  We will be studying Rome next class.
