This week is homecoming week, so I will be giving less homework to students since there are so many activities they are involved in each night. I don’t do this often, but I try to consider outside factors when something big is going on in school. The only other time I do this is the week of the musical in early March. Every year it seems that AP students are the ones that are most often involved in EVERYTHING in school.Monday, 9/24.
Review Video #8 for the first few minutes of class. Reading/Discussion on the Pueblo Revolt. Connect to the Encomienda System, how was this a turning point in Spanish relations with Natives? How did the treatment of Natives by the Spanish AFTER this event differ from English relations with Natives?. HW for tomorrow:.
Part II of Video #8 V.G. Video #9Tuesday, 9/25. Quick assessment on religion in the colonies.
This will focus on the 1 stGreat Awakening, but also reviewing religious characteristics of the colonies (review from previous week). Reading/Discussion of “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God”. This is actually part II of the Enhanced V.G. For video #9.
5-10 multiple-choice question assessment. Unfortunately, I won’t be able to blog on a daily basis as I hoped to do.
AP World is taking up a lot of my time. Students began class by taking the vocab quiz on period 1. For the next ten minutes, I reviewed the PowerPoint for video #4. We discussed questions 8-11 from yesterday’s quick assessment and students wrote down answers to questions they got wrong.I then introduced students to an activity that we will be doing often this year, mindmaps or sketchnotes. I gave the students a list of topics from Period 1 and they will illustrate the terms. I’m always looking for ways to reinforce the material and have had success with this in the past.As students were working on their mindmaps, I called students over to conference in small groups.
I reviewed big ideas from Period 1 with them and we went over some practice multiple-choice questions.HW for tomorrow: Study for period 1 quizHave a good night!Filed Under:September 11, 2018. One of my goals this year is to conference with students in small groups once or twice a week. If I give an assignment to work on in class, I will use that time to pull students to the side to review topics with them and even break down documents.Tomorrow I will conference with students based on their responses to the they answered for the first 15 minutes of class. I noticed that every student did not know at least one of the answers for questions 8-11. Some students were still confused about Native life PRIOR to European contact (Question 2). So before conferencing tomorrow, I will address those questions as a whole class, and then focus on other topics in the conferences.The second half of class was spent discussing part II of the Video #4 Enhanced Video Guide. Several students mentioned how de Las Casas’ Point of Viewis much different than the Point of Viewof the political cartoon from yesterday.I’m being very explicit in my expectations for answering questions about Point of Viewand Purpose.
I want students to be able to explain why it matters, not just what the Point of Viewor Purposeis.HW for tonight: Vocab quiz tomorrow on period 1HW for Friday: Chapter 2 outline (begins period 2)Have a good night!Filed Under:September 10, 2018. Students came in having watched Video #3 on Spanish Exploration and Colonization. They also had to complete their outline for chapter 1 of their textbook. I spent a few minutes getting feedback on the format of the outline. I’m making small changes, but the outline seems to be working so far.After students completed the Encomienda System Quick Assessment, we discussed their answers as a class.We spent most of the rest of class going over the second part of the Enhanced Video Guide for Video #3. This is the first exposure this group has to an AP history class, so we spent a lot of time discussing HIPP, especially Intended Audience and Point of View for the document. One of my goals this year is to incorporate more documents into my class discussions.
In addition to having students analyze documents for their hw, I want to expose them to documents in class as well.I spent a lot of time looking over old nonfiction books and rereading quotes and/or other info I highlighted. I am taking many of those excerpts and using them in class as a way to analyze secondary sources. I’ve realized that a lot of my reading is heavily focused on the late-18 th– mid-19 thcenturies. I am a bit obsessed with that period.HW for tonight:. Video #4. Begin outlining chapter 2 – due Friday.
