Welcome
to Unit #6. Consider yourself officially 1/4 of the way done with World
History 10.
Current Events -
I always enjoy getting a chance to talk some current issues and events
with you. We can take a bit of time today for that. Basically, I'd like
each of you to think of your "best" story from the assignment that you
did for Friday. We'll briefly share those, and perhaps we can dig a bit
deeper on a few of them.
The Industrial Revolution - We're
going to try this one a little differently. Since you just came off an
essay and a set of DBQs, we're going to try and combine those two
skills. We're going to break into groups of roughly three people. I
have three different DBQ activities related to the Industrial
Revolution. Basically, each group is going to prepare to "talk" an
essay tomorrow.
These are the three DBQs and their essay topics:
The Industrial Revolution: Beginnings
"Why did the Industrial Revolution begin in England?"
The Industrial Revolution: Effects
"Evaluate the positive and negative effects of the Industrial Revolution."
The Industrial Revolution: Responses
"How were the evils of the Industrial Revolution addressed in England in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries?"
Today, each group should work through their DBQ packet, keeping in mind the essay topic they will address tomorrow.
Your
"essay" should be in an outline type form, but it need not flow
smoothly or be perfectly worded. In fact, each of you will be expected
to talk.
Please incorporate these:
- Some sort of attention getter or "hook" for a first line. (Tell us why you chose what you did.)
- Thesis that is responsive to your specific topic. (This should be carefully phrased, not just made up on the spot.)
- A minimum of three body paragraphs
- Each paragraph should be clearly in support of your thesis.
- Each paragraph should refer to evidence from at least two of the documents.
- You should document which sources you are using.
- You should have a concluding paragraph that ties things together.
Remember,
you DO NOT need to write this all out. Think of it as sharing your
planning with us. Obviously, we have two goals for this. First, we can
think specifically about putting together a history essay. Second, we
can start to learn about the Industrial Revolution and its impact on
the world.
You can turn in the Chapter 25, Section 1 quiz if you have completed that. I expect to have them all from you by tomorrow's class.
Please read Chapter 25, Section 2, "Industrialization." (pp. 723 - 728) Matching is the quiz format.
Please read Chapter 25, Section 2, "Industrialization." (pp. 723 - 728) Matching is the quiz format.
I expect you'll more or less finish in class, but each group should be ready to "present" their essay preparation tomorrow.
