5th and 2nd Period APWH Feb. 21 &22

We finished the notes on the Scientific Revolution and started notes on Chapter 20.  Students need to read the rest of Chapter 20 before next class.  Possible RQ.

5th and 2nd Period APWH Feb 16 and 17

I was out Thursday and Friday of this week.  The students were given 4 charts from Chapter 18 to work on in class.  All of these are due for CW/HW grades next class.  And students should start reading Chapter 20 pages 453-466 before next class.  Possible RQ.

I really wanted to make a new video covering the Scientific Revolution and Enlightenment.  However, my video recording is not working from home for some reason.  I still have a link to a video for notes about the Enlightenment only.  It is from last year, BUT the information is still good.  You ONLY need to watch starting at 3 mins 8 seconds and stop watching at 12 mins and 15 seconds.  The link is below.  Take notes on this and I will cover the Scientific Revolution before we start Chapter 20 next class.

If I am able to get the screen recording to work I will make a video that includes the Scientific Revolution, but it's unlikely I will be able to do that.

Enjoy your President's Day and I will see you Tuesday.

5th and 2nd Period APWH 2/14 and 2/15

5th and 2nd Period APWH 2/10 and 2/13

We just got started on our notes for Chapter 18 in class today.  So I am delaying assigning new reading.  Students need to read pages 405-415 before next class, possible RQ.

5th and 2nd Period APWH 2/8 and 2/9

I collected the chapter 17 charts in class.  Students need to finish reading Chapter 19 if they have not already.  We will start new notes on Chapter 18 next class.  Students need to read 405-415 before next class and be ready for a RQ.  Our lecture notes are going slightly out of order, so don't worry that we are doing stuff in chapter 19 and then going back to chapter 18.

5th and 2nd Period APWH 2/6 and 2/7 and NOTES VIDEO

Sorry I was out sick Monday and Tuesday.  Students wrote a DBQ in class today that will count as a quiz grade.  Students also received two charts for Chapter 17 that they need to complete before next class for a homework grade.  Students also need to start reading Chapter 19.  And you need to watch the video link below and take notes.  The video says it is from Chapter 17 which is mostly true but it also combines with information found in Chapter 19.  This video is the notes we were supposed to do in class.
