     March 15th Notebook Work (Pie Chart and Declaration of Rights of Man & Citizen)

Unfortunately, many of you misplaced your notes/work (or did not do it in the first place) and will NOT get credit.

What Would You Do?

Welcome Back!  I am also exhausted - gotta get back to a nice and normal sleep schedule.  To ease back into the routine of school, I screened an episode of The Twilight Zone titled "The Shelter" from September 1961.

Title a piece of paper)  Twilight Zone: The Shelter  (Name & Date in UR Corner)
You know that a disaster is going to strike sometime within the next 2-5 years (during the summer months).
How do you prepare?  What do you do? (5 sentences)
(Worldwide disaster - asteroid, earthquake, plague, nuclear war, etc.)

After watching, skip three lines.

Write a reflection of the episode.
What did you learn?
What is the lesson/  Why was it screened in class?

Have a Nice Break!

Thursday's test results are in the gradebook.  We watched a video about Napoleon today, also touching on the French Revolution.  We'll revisit Napoleon upon your return from Spring Break.  Please have Chapter 18 read, because there will be a test on Weds or Thursday that first week back.

Also, do not forget about the extra credit opportunity.  Check the Moodle/Folder11/The Mission (EC).

Enjoy your break!

Vive le France!

We're starting to look at the French Revolution and Napoleon now.  IN class today, you checked your grade, turned in any missing work, and then read three pages from the textbook.  Since the pages do not line up correctly, I have uploaded them to the Moodle (check Unit 11 for French Revolution Intro PDF).  The Ch. 7, 11, 13 Exam has been moved to Thursday. Review items are listed below:

• African geographical Zone(s)
• Axum
• Aztec
• Columbus
• Deserts
• Ghana
• Griot
• Inca
• Kush
• Lineage
• Mali
• Maya
• Nigeria
• Nubia
• Plains Indians
• Swahili
• Trade (Western Africa)
• Treaty of Tordesillas

Back to Africa

Please use the map below (Imperialism in Africa) to complete the map (and questions) worksheet of the same name.  You will need to use your textbook or the "interweb" to answer at least one of the questions.

We also corrected the Prehistoric Mesoamerica/Cartoon History worksheet.

Maya

We watched a video about the Maya today - you took notes on their religion and math (on the back of your Africa video notes from when I was out two weeks ago).  We'll be correcting the Prehistoric Mesoamerica and Cartoon History worksheet tomorrow, followed by some excerpts from Apocalypto.  You should have read chapters 7, 11, and 13 by now.  Expect an exam next week, so be prepared.
