5th and 2nd Period APWH March 23&24

We took notes on the Industrial Revolution in class today.  Students were given a DBQ on industrialization in class today.  They need to complete the DBQ (write an actual essay) for HW and return a completed essay next class.  Please time yourself and stay as close to the recommended time as possible.  Use the new rubric given in class from Mrs. E and please also look over the checklist (also borrowed from Mrs. E):

How to respond to a DBQ: Step by Step

Suggested Time for Steps 1-5: 15 minutes

Suggested Time for Steps 6-12: 45 Minutes

     1.    Read the question and determine what is being asked.  Underline key words and components of the question.

    2.    Brainstorm.  Write down everything you can remember that pertains to the topic of the question.

    3.    Now go to the documents.  As you examine each document, add evidence to your “brain barf” that comes from the documents.  Use all the documents.

    4.    Next to each piece of documentary evidence in your “brain barf”, note the document letter/number (Ex: Document A) and the document’s significance (author’s point of view, purpose, historical context, and/or audience).

    5.    Categorize your evidence.  Organize.  Make sure you have LOTS of evidence from beyond the documents.

    6.    Write a working complex thesis statement that will thoroughly answer the question.  The thesis should demonstrate complexity by explicitly illustrating relationships among historical evidence such as contradiction, corroboration, and/or qualification.  Include your position and supporting categories.  Do NOT rephrase or repeat the question as your thesis sentence.

    7.    Write the body of the essay, clearly and legibly:

8. Develop each category of your thesis with specific historical examples.  Cite each document as you use it to support your thesis (Doc. J) and point out its significance (purpose, historical context, or indented audience)

9. Use several examples of evidence from beyond the documents to support your thesis statement.

10.  Situate the argument by explaining the broader historical events, developments, or processes immediately relevant to the question.  Use evidence from beyond the documents for this.

    11.                       Compose a concluding paragraph that extends the argument by explaining the connections between the argument and a development in a different historical period OR a different course theme.

    12.                       Revise the paper as many times as time allows.  Remember to avoid colloquialisms and inappropriate language.

5th and 2nd Period APWH Tuesday March 21&22

The students had a substitute in class today.  They were to watch the two videos below in class and take notes on them.  After watching the two videos the students needed to create a Venn Diagram listing the Sims and Difs of the American and French Revolutions.
