Periods 1 & 2 Strayer 2 through 7

I put this up on the request of several students. Maybe my message about condensing a chapter to notes by Sunday night is getting through. I don't see any signs of it though. If you look at the posts from Thursday night on Strayer 7, you'll see the kind of interaction I'm talking about: students responding to each other about the content of the chapter.

I think I was talking to Allie and Olivia about this test, and I said, "by its nature, the questions will be broad , big picureish". Later I realized that may have been a misleading statement. The big picture questions should definitely be the central part of you study process, however, the big obvious comparisons are also fair game.

The format will be like this: I'll give you three questions from each period. You will have to answer one of them from each set of three. Two answers in total worth a certain number of points each. You will have 30 minutes for the test. For all of you, test grades are your lowest score, this is worth two of them. Will this be your triumphant breakthrough, or your next disastrous defeat? It truly is up to only one force in the universe, one person, YOU!

Okay, so now it's time to listen to what I'm telling you to do. 1. Get this chapter read and annotated this weekend. 2. Answer all the margin and big picture questions in your own hand. #. reorganize the information using T-charts, timelines, mind maps and outlines.

I will definitely ask you to contrast Classical/Ancient slavery with the Atlantic slave trade version.

Answering the Big Questions, Strayer 5

Organizationally, you'll find this chapter similar to Strayer 5. Charts work well; some people rise to the level of world historical significance. Make sure you're ready to make lots of comparisons, our bread and butter in WHAP.

Be sure to stop in at the Classical Period page to browse the "big ideas" before you read. You might find my essay on the Axial Age useful.

Many of you took a beating on Strayer 4, mainly because your understanding of the content was too shallow to answer the question asked, you didn't have the evidence in the right compartment in your head, it was disorganized. Preventing a repeat of that, and insuring you understand these topics deeply starts this weekend. Lick your wounds, get mad, and get to work!
