Period 4 REACH: Guns, Germs & Steel-Synchronous Meeting: Tuesday and Friday @ 2:15-3:15 Assignments

Complete in-class and submit

Annotate the text (in-class) and submit

This assignment will be completed in class when we come back from Thanksgiving Break. You are not required/expected to complete this outside of a synchronous meeting.

This is a synchronous meeting assignment to be completed in-class. You will be assigned 1-2 of the texts below. If you miss class today, annotate pigs, goats, and zebras. You can delete the additional texts that you are not responsible for annotating. I find it easier to annotate when I copy and pasted the highlighting directions to the top of the text I am annotating for reference.

Go to the edpuzzle website. Watch the video and answer the questions. The video will keep track of your progress, so you don't have to finish it one sitting.

To be completed in-class through breakout room discussion on Friday.

Follow the annotate text instructions

Create and submit a google slide presentation. The project description is called "Country Luck Report Card." I have attached an example project (not completely perfect). There is also a rubric included to help you evaluate your progress. The google sheet is a list of all student country assignments (if you forget or need to see the list to complete google form assignment from week of 10/26).

Turn in your self-assessment when you submit your project. Make sure to edit your project if your realize you have not met the project expectations. Write your total score at the top of the rubric. Place an "x" in the boxes that reflect your demonstration of the criteria being scored.

This is based on the country you were assigned. If you have not had a country assigned, complete the google form assignment. If you completed the assignment, but did not get a country assigned to you (you didn't follow the directions), send me an email with your top three choices based on the google sheet country list (select countries that have not been assigned to other students.

no more assignments this week

The following documents should all help you understand the expectations for the project. I provided an example of the map but did not include written directions from my house to CMC. You are required to provide directions, which should be typed (I won't post these online nor will I use them to come visit you).

"What is your map of your home" is the project description and requirements
"Mental Map of Home Questions" is a reflection activity (good to use to better understand what should be included)
"Mental Map Grade Sheet Checklist/Rubric" details how you will be graded on this assignment. If you want to get a good grade, use this document.

The Unit Project consists of:
1:) Construction of a mental map of your place (I took a picture of my map and uploaded it to google drive)
2:) Written directions

Assess your "Mental Map" using the grade-sheet. Score yourself after you complete the project and submit the document. Place an "X" in the rectangle that reflects your score. Be honest....I will compare my assessment of your work with your evaluation.

I provided video instructions to help you edit the map with your computer, which involves taking a screenshot of the map, editing the image by cropping it, adding color, and then submitting your map.

Use the information provided in the document to understand how to answer the 2 questions. I apologize for the late submission of this assignment.

Use the information on the slides to answer the questions.

Follow the directions in the document. Video instructions are optional to view.

Will work on in-class today and Friday.

Decorate the quilt square with items that reflect where you live and who you are. This square will contribute to the creation of a class banner or quilt that will be posted on the frontpage of the google classroom. Items to be displayed may or may not include the following: maps, flags, names of people and places, pictures of family, interests, important values, etc.

Video Instructions is optional to watch. On the 2nd worksheet, I mistakenly asked you to plot the cities on the map. You are not required to do this. Write the name of the city next to its coordinates in the table. All world maps should contain the same longitude and latitude lines.

Use the 5 Themes of Geography Slides to answer questions. Video review of slides is optional to watch.

In the Synchronous Meeting, you will complete this assignment after discussing in small groups. This assignment is connected to the unit project. Do your best work.
