I am still under the weather and unable to come in. However, if you need to talk to me, you can email me. I hope that you have all rescheduled your retakes for sometime in the next two weeks.
The first hour of today, will be spent studying ISIS-related vocabulary or African Geography. As per our discovery on October 28th, PBS has released a documentary called “The Rise of ISIS.” The second hour of class will be devoted to watching it. I have yet to see it, so I’ll need you to analyze the film for me.
Expectations
- Work Hard. Be Nice. Make me, your parent(s), yourself→ proud.
- Remember to sign-out/ in (clipboard) by doorway when you are given permission to leave for the bathroom—one at a time, 3 minutes out, no backpacks.
- No one should be on youtube/pandora/gaming sites/anything unrelated to this course, etc. You have an African geography test next week. You know it’s not hard if you study and this class is WAAAAAAY easier-- so use this time to prepare.
- A sub/TA may address anyone who is not following expectation. Behavior issues/poor attitudes will not be tolerated.
- The substitute & TAs will email Ms. Kelly with positives & negatives-- Be the change you want to see in this world! :)
Step 1 | Independently work on ISIS vocabulary (20 min)
Step 2 | Independently work on African Geography (20 min)
Step 3 | PBS The Rise of ISIS (60 min) : As you watch, take notes on the film on your own paper, just like we annotated the reading. You should have at least a page of notes from the film that do the following:
- List words or phrases you don’t know so you/we can look them up
- Make connections to prior knowledge
- Write down questions that you think of during the film
- Make predictions/draw conclusions→ is anything you are seeing in the film biased? Towards whom? What the purpose?
- State your opinion.
