This year marks the 100th anniversary of the 20th century's first major genocide, that of the Armenians by the Ottoman Empire. This controversial genocide is even today denied officially by most of the world's major countries.
Here's a list of everything that will be covered on the quiz on Monday. Don't forget to study, study, study! Tomorrow I won't be here, but everything you've turned in so far WILL be in you folders tomorrow.
• Rome continues in Byzantine Empire • Clovis unites the Franks under Christianity • Charles Martel stops the Muslims at Tour • Charlemagne is crowned Holy Roman Empire, increases education • Feudalism: Lords, Vassals, Serfs, Relationships • Manors, Towns, Guilds, Middle Class, Farming Revolution • Kings of France and England • Crusades: Pilgrimage-war to Jerusalem. 1st is successful, 2nd is boring, 3rd is Richard the Lionheart & Saladin, 4th is crazy (Christians attacking Christians) • Decline: Black Death, Split in Church, 100 Years War • Islamic World & Chinese Golden Age • Medieval Africa • Medieval Japan • Wait for it… the Mongols! We are playing catch up today! I collected the Islam and Christianity Chart, which you can use the online textbook to complete if you have not done so.
We will be having our quiz on Greece, Rome, Christianity, and Islam on Monday (regardless of weather!) You need to study the MAIN IDEAS of the units (why were the events important) not the specifics, especially for Greece. For Rome, study the notes from the PowerPoint presentations. For Christianity and Islam, study your chart. I also recommend watching the Crash Course videos on the two religions. We started watching "The Dark Ages" video today. This video covers about 4 days of material in 90 minutes, so if you missed it YOU MUST WATCH IT. There is an accompanying viewing guide. They are the first things on the Unit 3 page. Monday's Journal: #3 Religion has been around since early man and is present in some form in nearly every civilization since…why do you think religion is so important to mankind? What (if any) are your personal religious beliefs? (If you don’t have any explain why.)
Monday & Tuesday: we talked about religion (review by looking at the prezi) and by watch the crash course videos Judaism, Buddhism & Ashoka, & and Confucius. Wednesday: Took our Pre-History, Ancient Civilizations, and Religion Test. Thursday: Started talking about Ancient Greece looking at the Early Greeks, Trojan War, & Homer Friday (Early Release!): Talked about Greek mythology and what it tells us about Greek society, the Persian War, and began looking at the Greek Golden Age, by having students create a web of Greek achievements in Philosophy, Art & Architecture, History, Drama, Astronomy, and Math & Physics from Chapter 5 Sections 3 & 5 in the textbook. Just a quick overview of what we've been working on this week:
On Wednesday 1/28 we started talking about the Agricultural Revolution and it's importance. We watched our first Crash Course video (Agricultural Revolution) and completed the short viewing guide for it. Then we went over the features of Civilization (on the Pre-History PowerPoint) and made a poster in class on those features. On Thursday 1/29, you had about 20 minutes to finish your poster, and then we began our River Valley Ancient Civilization project. This is a pretty major project which we will spend the next week completing as a class. Note that the project is slightly different depending on whether or not you are in the honors section of the class, so read the direction sheet carefully! This is a bit of a "Pick Your Own Ending" project, that allows you to work on the assignments that seem the most interesting to you. This is also our first major project grade for the class, so it's very important! Everything you need for the project (including the assignment direction sheet) is under unit 1 in the section labeled "River Valley Civilizations." We spent today just continuing to work on the project in class. On Monday, we will be working in the Media Center! Good Luck and please let me know if you have any questions! We finished our CSI: Mohenjo-Daro Assignment first thing. Then we started taking notes on Pre-History and watched the first 20 minutes of Mankind the History of All of Us: Inventors.
Welcome back to a new week, Rolesville Rams!
As you can see, I slacked off a bit when it comes to starting the blog up, so here we go. After introductions last week, we started talking about why we study history through analyzing a series of photographs and watching a short video. Then we started working on the World Map, which was to be finished as homework. Today, we started by working on our first journal, took notes from the PowerPoint "How do we learn about history?", and began the "CSI: Mohenjo-Daro" activity. How to set up your journal: •Date and number of Journal •Copy prompt •Skip one or two spaces •Respond with a paragraph (unless otherwise stated) •MUST MAKE UP A MISSED JOURNAL Journal #1 Prompt: In your own words, define the word “history.” Do you think that it is important? Why or why not? End of the third week! Where does the time go?
We spent this week looking at Ancient Civilizations. We studied the Eight Features of Civilizations with notes and started creating the Civilizations poster in groups. We did take a pause on that yesterday to Remember the Fallen Heroes of September 11. On Monday, we will be in the computer lab (1st and 6th periods ONLY; 3rd will be in the computer lab on Tuesday) so that you can view your classmates' Ancient Civilizations PowerPoints. Please make sure you have it saved to the Shared Directory before then. Save as-->Computer-->Shared (S:)-->Public-->Jones-->World History-->Class Period Folder-->save it as your name Blame Summer brain! It's been a busy but great first two weeks back...but I've fallen behind in reminders! Here's the basics of what we've been doing.
We started by covering pre-history and early man. We did a map of the world, which was turned in as a grade; watched a video, with viewing guide (Mankind: The Story of Us All Episode 1); did an Early Man DBQ, and yesterday we took our first quiz on Early Man and Pre-History. Today, we started our Ancient Civilizations project. We will be in the media center for the next few days (today, tomorrow, and Monday) working on it. Thanks again for a great start of the school year! I couldn't be more thrilled with each and every one of you. Please continue to check the website for updates as the class continues. Also, if you are interested in printing off another copy of the syllabus, it will be uploaded on the homepage of the website. Hope everyone had a fantastic Spring Break!
