Hey, it's Monday and a new week. Today students viewed the first part (per your notes sheet you created) of the video "The History of the Middle Ages." I cannot upload or link to this video as it is hosted on Safari. If you missed it you will have to get notes from another student. I may be able to post them for you at a later date. We also switched our text books out for a different one that has content we are studying at the moment. This book covers the middle ages and we will be giving you handouts connected to the content. Unfortunately, this text book is also not on line and you will have to transport it back and forth to school if necessary. We completed the first leg of a KWL as a preview of the middle ages. The first leg is the "know" leg and will be followed by the "want to know" leg.
Quiz tips for tomorrow:
The quiz will consist of three parts. C, B-A, and A+. The C is basic knowledge and consists of identifying the countries of Western Europe and matching the capital to its country. The B-A is the main idea level and you will have to locate the countries and physical features of Western Europe on a map. The A+ level is a high level question which requires analysis of a geography question. It will require an open-ended response and you will only qualify if you pass the B-A level satisfactorily. The emphasis of the three levels are: identification - locating - analysis.
A copy of the maps, country selections, and capital cities is provided on posts from Wednesday of last week (November 7). The focus here is on Europe and not North and South America.
