HW Week of 11/11

Hello, STEM/USH'ers:  

Your homework this week will focus on the viewing of the video series "The War That Made America."  This series goes into amazing detail about the French and Indian War, which was discussed in the Crash Course video we watched this week.  

This war, which took place between 1754-1763, is very important in American History.  This war led to conflict between America and England, and ultimately the Revolutionary War.  

Below is a link to a folder, containing the videos, questions, and note-taking worksheet.  Please note that all of the materials have previously been shared with you.  I will also post YouTube links on the blog as well.  

We will watch the videos in class, and at home.  After watching each part of the video, you will answer questions based on the video.  

Your mission this week...

1.  Carefully view each video.  While watching the video, use the worksheet to take notes. 

2.  After you view each part, carefully answer the questions that correspond to each part.  There are four videos, organized into separate folders. The worksheets that go with each part are in those folders.  Please answer the questions using complete sentences.   You must answer ALL of the questions on each worksheet.  Make sure that you print out the worksheets, as well as the scoring rubric

3.  The entire assignment is due NEXT MONDAY, November 18th.   Failure to hand the assignment in on time would be the equivalent of getting a ZERO on a test. 

4.  You are responsible for handing inhttp://www.videonot.es/edit/

• 1.  Video Worksheets
• 2.  Note-Taking Worksheets
• 3.  Scoring Rubric

STEM/USH Assignments Week of 11/4

Greetings, STEM/USH'ers:

We are going to have two collection dates for homework assigned this week, on Thursday and the following Tuesday November 12th.   Please make sure that you attach the homework rubric to your homework on each day that it is collected.  Both assignments will be graded as quizzes.  Failure to complete either one would be the same thing as getting a zero on quiz; miss both, and it's like getting a zero on a test. 

Here's what you have to do this week.    

MONDAY NIGHT - 

1. Watch the FIRST EIGHT MINUTES of the Crash Course Video - The Seven Years War.  CLICK HERE for the link.    You will notice that there is a transcript to the video. This will be very helpful for you!  

2. Take notes on the video.  Please note that the video moves very fast!  You will have to rewind it several times.  Use the transcript to help you.  You may want to consider making yourself a google doc, highlighting, and outlining it.  

3.  Complete the video worksheet.  

TUESDAY NIGHT: 

1. Take notes on the slides in Sections 1 of the powerpoint enclosed in this email.

2.  Complete the Reading Study Guide, and Re-Teaching Activity for Chapter 3 Section 1 of the textbook.  I've enclosed a copy of Chapter 3 Section to help you. 

WEDNESDAY NIGHT: 

If you didn't finish Monday and Tuesday's HW, finish it for HW tonight.  Otherwise, proceed to Thursday's HW.  Prepare your HW to be handed in on Thursday, by attaching a copy of the homework rubric to your work.

Complete the Reading Study Guide, and Re-Teaching Activity for Chapter 3 Section 4 of the textbook.
