Parents and students:
The next couple of weeks is a busy time in both the World History and World Geography and Religions classes. First, in World History we are concluding our current unit with an assessment on December 5th (A Day) and December 6th (B Day). Students will demonstrate their understanding of key concepts and skills related to the Enlightenment, the American and French revolutions, and the rise and fall of Napoleon. Similar to our previous units, the Unit Three study guide is due on the day of the test. On December 7th and 8th we begin our examination of the Industrial Revolution and the social, political, and economic reforms that grew out of this period of significant change. Concurrently, we will work to enhance our historical thinking skills, improve our reading comprehension of both primary and secondary sources, and develop our argumentative writing skills. This unit’s assessment is on Thursday, January 26th (A Day) and Friday, January 27th (B Day). Second, in World Geography and Religions, we shift our focus from the physical geography of East Asia to the culture of the region, specifically the religions of Confucianism and Taoism. We continue with our seminar-based approach to each of the religions and will enhance our understanding through physical exercise (tai chi). The unit test is on Friday, December 16th. When we come back from winter break, we begin our study of the oldest monotheistic religion, Judaism, and focus on the physical and human geography of Northern Eurasia. As a reminder, I am available for tutoring on the majority of Wednesdays from 2:05 to 3:05 and Thursdays during lunch. Also, please remember that students who miss class must complete the day's assignments posted on Google Classroom and submit them on both Google Classroom and email them to [email protected]. Please contact me if you have any questions!
