**Especially important to read if you are in 1B, since we missed class today**
Due to the schedule changes, weather, and ACTs, we are making a few adjustments to how we cover things. First, there is a homework assignment due for WWII. It is due on test day--Friday 3/1 for A day, Monday 3/4 for B day. Start working on it now, it really is intended to help you make sure you know what you need to know for this test. We will spend some time in class on test day reviewing this material. Your test will be all multiple choice, followed by a DBQ on 3/6 and 3/7.
Download the assignment here.
Extra credit! In addition to the usual 3 points for reading notes on Chapters 23-25, answers to focus questions and reflection (due on test day. Ms. Barrett will be collecting and reading these.), you can earn up to an extra 3 points by listening to some podcasts! That will mean a total of 6 points.
To get the extra-extra credit (due on DBQ day):
Email Ms. Barrett which podcasts you want by 3 p.m. Thursday (teb16 AT duke.edu).
Listen to podcast.
Write 1 page summary/reflection for each. In this, be sure include details that reflect that you have listened to the whole thing and evaluate what it added to your understanding of WWII.
Get up to 3 points extra credit!
Podcast topics are:
1) Tuskegee Airmen
2) Allied Cryptography
3) Axis Cryptography
4) Navajo Code Talkers
5) Did Any Germans Resist Hitler?
6) Who was Tokyo Rose?
7) Josephine Baker
Yes, this is a fair amount of work. But, you have time. So get started now!
How many podcasts do we need to listen to/write about in order to get the three points?
ReplyDelete1 pt each, up to 3!
ReplyDeleteWhat is Ms. Barrett's email?
ReplyDeleteRead the post above, carefully :)
ReplyDeleteHow come quizzes and tests aren't weighted in the same category?
ReplyDeleteThey never have been. Quizzes are preparatory--they are reflective of what you are learning as we go along and should be used to provide more formative feedback (along the lines of, how am I doing? what do I need to study more?). They are similar, in my mind, to homework. Tests and larger projects should show mastery--what you have accomplished in total over the course of a unit.
