Tomorrow is "Pi Day" (3.14...), so here's a picture of one of my favorite pies in Portland: Guava Cheesecake at Pambiche Cuban Restaurant!
Hi everyone,
It was a short Wednesday together, but we managed to get plenty of prep work done on the DBQ, which we will finish next class. Here's what happened in class today:
It was a short Wednesday together, but we managed to get plenty of prep work done on the DBQ, which we will finish next class. Here's what happened in class today:
Learning Targets Addressed:
Knowledge LT 8: I can identify how technological knowledge and innovation shapes a society, place, or region.
Critical Thinking LT 5: I can justify and support arguments or interpretation with appropriate evidence.
Communication LT 1: I can communicate effectively, both verbally and in writing.
Research LT 1: I can effectively conduct and apply research.
AGENDA 3/13/19:
News Brief - Clayton
Graphic Organizer
DBQ Analysis
Work Time
News Brief: Clayton had the news brief today and selected an article about this story to talk about: CNBC.com - NASA increasing funding, looking to colonize moon by 2028. After discussing the story, we also checked in to see if anyone was up to anything interesting or fun outside of class.
Ms. Rice was assigned to do the next news brief.
I also mentioned this story that came out yesterday: OPB.com - Oregon Senate OKs Requiring Holocaust Education In Schools. Students in my Global Studies classes learned about genocide and the Holocaust last year, so it was cool to see that everyone remembered (including remembering about Auschwitz).
As part of the news brief, we also watched the one minute BBC World News update. Here's the link to see the latest one minute update, at any time of day (it will probably be different from what we watched in class):

Graphic Organizer: The next part of class was spent looking at the DBQ assignment together, and brainstorming how to respond to the question, with what evidence. To help with that, I posted the DBQ assignment in Google Classroom for students (paper copies were available in class if students preferred), and we looked at this past graphic organizer we have used as a possibility to help:
Again, paper copies of this were available in class. The DBQ packet had another option for students to use, as well.
DBQ Analysis: For the rest of class, students used their notes and documents A-H from the packet we have used the last two classes, to prepare their answer to the DBQ. The documents (also available on Google Classroom) are here:
The first page of the linked document was passed out as a physical copy in class. This physical copy will be due on Friday as a part of the grade for the DBQ.
Here's the schedule for the DBQ:
Friday, March 15 - Write and submit DBQ essay in class. Use of all notes/activities from the 1920s and Great Depression units is allowed!
Next class will probably be your last DBQ of the year - I hope everyone is feeling ready to be done!
hey mr fritz so i know that you gave us a list of possible sources to use but i was looking on the internet for a couple of other facts to include in my dbq and found something that i think would be really good for my point and really strengthen my argument about what lead to the great depression. can i use it? if so will you want me to do a complete citation down at the bottom?
ReplyDeletethanks!
Hi there! Thanks for asking, but no outside sources are allowed for this DBQ. I would very much prefer that you not research online - just use the documents and what we have done in class, please. Thanks!
Deleteokay no problem! i found something in my notes that i can use, but i didn't know how you wanted me to quote or cite it. will you want me to put in quotations what i wrote down on my note sheet and then in the parenthesis cite it using the notes tile/objective? or would you prefer me to find the fact off of your power points and then cite the power point title? is there another way i am totally missing that you would rather?
DeleteLet me address this in class tomorrow! Remember, you really should wait to work on it until you are in class.
Deleteokay. just wanted to go into this as prepared as possible.
DeleteYou are already well prepared with our in class work! Thanks for your continued thought and efforts!
