Historical Newspaper:  You will create your own Yellow Journalism headlines for one of these wars, provocative picture,

5 sentence main story, 2 subtitles for articles with 3 sentences,  as well include a relevant political cartoon.  It will be Front page of a newspaper.    Organize on one page as a newspaper front page.

 

C.  You and a partner will be assigned a HISTORY NOW project where you will address a theme in American history that pervades our national timeline.  Some are listed below.  On the Gilder Lehrman Website (see below) you will follow the teaching instructions From The Teacher's Desk below the introduction.  Click on this link and you will see instructions. 

Remember, these issues are likely questions in DBQ and LEQ.  You need context, outside knowledge and synthesis!!

 

You must write out your answers; and you will teach a 10 minute lesson on the issue and what students should know about this theme.  Write a prompt...that we might see on an LEQ or DBQ;  or, use one of the documents/pictures and write

2 short answer questions.

 

We will begin these 'teach ins' on Tuesday.

Hope to see you tomorrow!!  Dr. Steinberg

WATCH Gilder Lehrman.  PERIOD 7 Overview
FINISH the above assignments tonight for HW. 

 

Below is the link to Bury My Heart at wounded knee.

I will add directions later tonight. 

Watch the film. Work w worksheets 1 and 2. 

 

As per the previous post about Bury My Heart....

As you finish ch 27, you will note the continuation of the Manifest Destiny doctrine

to control north america, etc.  This same doctrine was manifest in the genocide and removal of the Native Americans.  This is an important part of our current history as natives battle to prevent the oil pipeline from disturbing their land.

 

Watch the movie, take notes.  Be sure to cite the policies and treaties that are addressed in the film.  This will count for 25 points, answer the following

questions on the 2 worksheets:

 

25 points for completion of the rest of this assignment

Worksheet 1

1. Research one of the individuals profiled in the film

2.  Answer the discussion questions.

 

Back from doctor....not much improvement.  Sorry APUSHERS.

 

Now, about this extra credit...

You have read chapter 24.  You have watched and taken notes on MINE WARS.

Now you will write about MINE WARS as an example/event which represents the components of the conflict between Bosses and the Unions/workers. 

 

PROMPT:  How and to what extent does MINE WARS represent the elements of the conflict in principles and practice at the heart of the struggle between big business and the worker?

 

Intro

Thesis

I.  Describe the bosses, their businesses, the issues, their goals and philosophies.

II.  Describe the various unions, their leaders, the workers and their purposes, their goals

III.  Trace the events leading to the MINE WARS.  Reference ideas from paragraphs 1-2 and show how which ones became issues of this strike.  Show how this impacted individuals in the strike (see your notes)

IV. Discuss and analyze the culminating events of this strike.

v.  Evaluate the outcome.  How did it harm or help the bosses?  the Unions?  the workers?  Include synthesis in your discussion

 

Your writing should contain elements of the LEQ rubric.  If you want 50 extra credit points, then your paper should be scholarly and supported  by evidence from both the text book and the film. The PBS website for this film also has a lot of interesting information and primary sources.

 

Good luck to those of you who want this challenge! and points!

 

 

 

HW:  Before beginning Ch 27, complete the following assignment using

the interactive map on the National Geo Interactive website.  Refer to Ch 26 again to review the history of the Native American.

 

 

Create a map that describes the history, dates, events that led to the genocide and removal of Native Americans from their land.  This is a good visual representation of this history. 

 

Do the same for 2 other subjects listed;  African Americans, Mex Amer War etc.

Choose 2 that will help YOU remember the visual/chronological story of these events. Print out.  Save the interactive map you created.  You will be asked to show and describe the map to the class.

To better understand the result of the genocide of the American Indian, watch,

BURY MY HEART AT WOUNDED KNEE, 2007.  Watch online, free.  I will assign this and post some questions asap.

 

By the way, the following students did well on their DBQ on American Industry (Robber Barrons or Captains of Industry):  Rushawnda, JJ, Thurston,  Leonela, Aniello,Tiffany, Gabriella, Joshua.  These students scored 4 or higher.

 

Many of you are still not responding to the prompt, not creating a thesis that will be supported by evidence, missing context points, etc.  I am especially concerned that  many of you have not gotten into the practice of writing a good thesis.  Alas!

 

We will practice again!!

 

I will input into mysis

 

 

 

Sorry my friends....I have been quite sick and sleeping 24/7.  Just starting to recover I hope.  Nonetheless, I hope you are doing the work I have managed to leave for you .  You have been on your own to keep up with this work.  And I do expect that you will be halfway through Ch 26, and should be completing the reading and notes by Tuesday.

 

The Extra Credit assignment, Mine Wars, is contingent on you having completed the rest of the your work!!!  Right? That's a definition of EXTRA credit.

I will be posting the details for this later today....It will NOW be due on Wednesday.

Tips:

• Some good essay writers begin with a thesis statement, back it up with supporting evidence from documents and outside knowledge, and, if time permits, restate the thesis at the end. Other writers analyze the material and build up logically to their thesis statement. On an AP Exam, you should use whichever method you feel most comfortable with.
  
• Organize Your Response Carefully
• In addition to having a strong thesis, it is a good idea to have a guiding organizational principle — a stated agenda for making your point. Try to integrate your outside information into your response.
  
• Make Sure Thesis Matches Assessment & Knowledge
• Many good essay writers  support a clear, simple thesis that you can support.  Almost every essay — including the DBQ — is designed to allow the student to agree or disagree with the statement.
  
• Build an Argument
• The best essays — in terms of arguing their case — are those that marshal the positive arguments in favor of their position but that also refute or answer possible rival theses. Even if you think a statement is completely true, it is better to confront and negate the evidence that seems to refute it than to ignore the counterevidence completely.
• Integrate the Documents and Your Analysis
• Don't merely explain what is stated in the documents. …make it a part of an integrated essay in support of your thesis.
• Don't Quote Large Portions of the Documents
• You can quote a short passage or two if necessary, to make your point, but don't waste time or space reciting them
• Synthesis--doing this well means an additional point!  (see comments on the rubric)

 

 

 

 

Attached below is the proper Columbian Exchange document!!!  Use this!

 

You will begin to organize your argument for this DBQ.  Tonight you will write

out 3 different thesis statements.  Be prepared to share.  A thesis is not a restatement of the question.  Choose one to support in an argument.

Choose the 6 documents you will use, and, list the information in each you will use as evidence for you claim/thesis.  Finally, 'source' the 6 documents.  This

will prepare you to write your first DBQ essay this weekend.

• Thesis:  Write a thesis that makes a historically defensible claim and responds to all parts of the question. The thesis must consist of one or more sentences located in one place, either in the introduction or the conclusion.
• Argument Development: Develop and support a cohesive argument that recognizes and accounts for historical complexity by explicitly illustrating relationships among historical evidence such as contradiction, comparison, corroboration, and/or qualification.
• Use of the Documents: Utilize the content of at least six of the documents to support the stated thesis or a relevant argument. Must be explicit. Must use the information in their essay. Each doc must be analyzed; support thesis---or no point. Or do all 7 to insure the 6.
• Sourcing the Documents: Explain the significance of the author’s

point of view, author’s purpose, historical context, and/or audience for at least four documents.   May be one sentence.  Reliability of the information as an historian and incorporate into the essay
