Hi everyone,I was not in class today (I am in Dallas, for the college football National Championship - Go Ducks!). Mr. Smith was your sub today and I am pre-writing this blog, so it is possible you did not do everything in exactly this way. Today was another day looking into more depth on the Holocaust genocide. Here's what happened in class today:
Learning Targets:
Knowledge LT 18: I can explain how and why world societies organize themselves and how power is established and maintained.
Critical Thinking and Analysis LT 2: I can explain connections between events, issues, problems and concepts.
Soundtrack: "Coming Home" by Mat Kearney. Selected because the song was made into a music video for the Oregon Ducks football team, and I will be hoping to come home to Oregon with a win in Dallas tonight! Lyrics here.
AGENDA 1/12/15:
News Brief – Christian
Finish Textbook Work
Nazi Tea Party
News Brief: Whatever Christian wanted to talk about today!
Textbook Work: You finished going through the Modern World History textbook and what it has to say about the Holocaust on pages, 502-505. The assigned work in class was:
Summarize the two sections: The Holocaust Begins + The Final Solution
Write out vocab definitions (words in blue)
Complete questions 1-8 at the end of the Chapter (page 505).
After about 30 minutes of work, the class should have gone over the answers together. Keep these papers - they will help you with understanding the vocabulary in the unit and in Night, the book you are reading for Mr. Lathrop!
Nazi Tea Party: Obviously, there wasn't any tea, or a party in class. A "tea party" is a teaching activity where students take on the persona of a historical figure or event. In this case, there were eleven different people or events to talk about. Mr. Smith should have handed out slips of paper to everyone, and then asked that students go around the room talking about their person or event. Here is the worksheet that goes along with this:
The directions were to:
1) Write the event or name of the person you were interviewing down on the left column.
2) Write the top 3 most important elements of the story on the slip of paper.
3) Write how you think the Nazis used the person or event to establish or maintain power.
We did not finish this activity in class the two classes I taught this lesson to before, so we will come back to it after I get back later in the week, if you did not finish it in class. If you did, then I will talk to Mr. Smith to see where you ended! See you on Wednesday!
