Today we discussed actual Revolutions, preparing for a project where students will write a storybook (as if for a 10 year old) telling the story of either a Latin American (9th graders), French (10th graders) or American (11th and 12th graders) Revolutions. We looked at an overview of Revolutions, and discussed the reasons behind a Revolution.
Students got their culture brochures back and we talked about never plagiarizing and how not to plagiarize, as there was A LOT in the brochures that was not student's own words. We practiced putting things into your own words with the definition of Revolution, and I expect to see no plagiarism, copying, or cutting and pasting on the Storybook projects.
Storybooks are due 10/24, Rough Drafts are due next week, 10/17.
Homework (due 10/17):
9: a Latin American Revolution storybook work, follow the handout you were given in class to do the Brainstorming sheet, or some other kind of complete rough draft.
10: French Revolution storybook work: follow the handout you were given in class to do the Brainstorming sheet, or some other kind of complete rough draft.
11: American Revolution storybook work, follow the handout you were given in class to do the Brainstorming sheet, or some other kind of complete rough draft.
12: American Revolution storybook work, specifically looking at policies and documents as they evolved: follow the handout you were given in class to do the Brainstorming sheet, or some other kind of complete rough draft.
