Note: This assignment relates to material we will discuss in class later this week. You may want to take a few nights off and begin work on it over the weekend. Read excerpt from A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens. Write a diary entry (at least one full page) in which you summarize the events after the reception from the point of view of either the Marquis, Defarge, or one of the other people who witnessed what happened. You may handwrite or type. If you type, please use the attached template (double-spaced; Arial 12-point font). Due Tuesday, 10/16.
In case you didn't receive a hard copy in class, here is the Unit 1 Study Guide. It counts as a DOUBLE homework and is due Wednesday, 10/17.
The attached rubric explains the scoring and guidelines for notes checks. Next Tuesday, 10/16 is Notes Check Day for the first marking period. -Mr. S
As we approach the end of Unit 1, here are electronic copies of our class readings for lessons 1.1 to 1.6. All of this information is already available in your class notes and your textbook. I'm just posting these as additional study materials in case you find them helpful.
You will need to be logged into a Google account to access the files. -Mr. S https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B51mxLFJWZndMjUyNzMxNTUtMmFkZC00MTQ4LWE1NTctMDFlYmZlOWE3NjAw?usp=sharing Read pages 35-41. See attached PDF for the textbook section. Answer all questions in complete sentences. You do not need to write out the questions... just answer them! Due Wednesday, Oct. 10th. 1) Vocabulary Builder: Find one word in the reading that you don't know or are unsure of. Look it up. For each word, write out the word, the definition, and an original sentence that uses the word. This means a sentence that you created yourself using the word, NOT the sentence from the textbook or one from a dictionary.) Choose a regular word, not a social studies key term that is boldfaced in the text. Do NOT leave this blank because you think you know every word -- you WILL lose credit! 2) What were some advantages of Egypt's geography? What were some challenges? How was it similar to Mesopotamia? How was it different? 3) In what way were religion and government in Egypt tied together? How was Egyptian government different from Mesopotamian government? Include the words 'pharaohs' and 'theocracy' in your answer. 4) What are pyramids and why were they built? What is mummification and why did Egyptians do it? 5) Draw a pyramid with four levels. Take notes about each social class into the appropriate level of the pyramid. 6) Describe Egyptian writing. How was it similar to Mesopotamia's writing? How was it different? 7) CREATIVE RESPONSE: Imagine you are a traveler from Mesopotamia who is visiting Egypt. Write an "email" back home to your family about all of the amazing things you are seeing in this foreign land. Include some examples of Egyptian science and technology and make some comparisons to life back home to help your family understand it better. Your letter must be at least 2 paragraphs long (at least 5 sentences per paragraph).
In case you didn't receive a hard copy, here's the Study Guide. For full credit, follow all directions carefully. The deadline on this assignment has been extended to Wednesday, Oct. 10.
