Take the Chapter 11 self-check quiz on the textbook website (http://glencoe.mheducation.com/sites/0078953634/student_view0/unit4/chapter11/self-check_quizzes.html) and email me your results by Sunday at midnight. Also, think of 10 questions you think might appear on the Chapter 11 test on March 31. Of the 10 questions, 6 should be multiple choice, 2 should be short answer, and 2 should be essay questions. Feel free to think of more questions if you would like and come prepared to class on Monday ready to review!
Read Section 4 of Chapter 11 in your textbook and watch the “Section Spotlight” videos on the online textbook website (http://glencoe.mheducation.com/sites/0078953634/student_view0/unit4/chapter11/section4/section_spotlight_videos.html). After you have watched the videos, write down two questions you still have about Chapter 11. I will collect these in class tomorrow.
Read Section 3 of Chapter 11 in your textbook. Then, visit the website linked at the bottom of this post and select two primary sources from the list. You can select any two but you must write a three sentence explanation of what you think the source can teach us about the Great Depression.
Primary sources can be found at: http://www.loc.gov/teachers/classroommaterials/primarysourcesets/dust-bowl-migration/ Watch the following video on FDR’s New Deal: https://www.youtube.com/embed/6bMq9Ek6jnA
Come to class tomorrow prepared to discuss if you think the effects of the New Deal on the Great Depression and, on a larger scale, American liberties. After having read Section 2 of Chapter 11 and having watched this video, think about this: Was the New Deal a good idea? Why or why not? I hope those of you who went on the field trip enjoyed yourselves (including you, chaperones!) and to those of you who didn’t, I hope you enjoyed your art activities with the sub. For those of you who went on the field trip: Make sure you complete the packet you were filling out on the trip, including the reflection on the back page, which should be 8-12 sentences long. For those of you who stayed at school: If you did not finish your packet from class, make sure that is completed by the start of class tomorrow, including the “You’re the Artist!” reflection section. All students: Please read and take notes on Section 2 of Chapter 11 of your textbook. Attached is a link to the graphic organizer template you may use for your notes but again, feel free to use any system of note taking that you prefer.
Students who are not going on the field trip should come to class as scheduled. There will be a substitute teacher who will be taking attendance and I have some fun activities planned for you about early twentieth century art!
Students who are going on the trip should meet in the cafeteria by 8:55. Make sure to bring a pen or pencil, paper, and a lunch or lunch money. Students will be back to school by 3:30 and will be able to board regularly scheduled buses home. Get excited! Read and take notes on Section 1 of Chapter 11, “The Great Depression and the New Deal,” in your textbook. I will be checking to make sure you have taken notes at the start of class. If you are unsure of how you would like to organize your notes, feel free to use the attached template or those provided on the textbook website, but you are welcome to organize your notes any way you would like! Remember that your next current event is due one week from today!
Review Chapter 10 of your textbook and take the self-check quiz for the chapter on the American Journey: Modern Times website (http://glencoe.mheducation.com/sites/0078953634/student_view0/unit4/chapter10/self-check_quizzes.html). Please email me your results by the start of tomorrow’s class period.
Also remember that your two-paragraph reaction to your classmates’ artistic/musical/literary expressions will be collected tomorrow. Write a two-paragraph summary of your reactions to the artistic/musical/literary presentations you saw in class today.
In the first paragraph, make a connection between your and your fellow classmates’ works and those of artists in the Harlem Renaissance. How are they similar and/or different? How did they make you feel? In the second paragraph, think about the effect your work could have on the future of art, music, or literature. Could it have the same impact as the works of Harlem Renaissance artists? Why or why not? Why does this sort of creation have any effect on viewers? This will be due on Wednesday (March 18). |
