Bradley World History

YES, IT’S THAT TIME AGAIN!   YOUR EXAM IS 5TH PERIOD TOMORROW. 

BRADLEY WORLD HISTORY FOR TUESDAY,  SEPTEMBER 28, 2021

YOU STARTED THE YEAR STUDYING MAP SKILLS IN ORDER TO PREPARE YOURSELF FOR YOUR STUDY OF  WORLD HISTORY.   YOU NEEDED TO LEARN GEOGRAPHIC TOOLS AND CONCEPTS BEFORE YOU EXPLORE THE WORLD.  YOU NEEDED TO BECOME A “MAP MASTER, ”  BECAUSE LEARNING ABOUT A COUNTRY OR AREA STARTS WITH FINDING IT ON A MAP.  USING MAPS, THOUGH, IS MORE THAN JUST FINDING PLACES.   MAPS CAN TEACH YOU MANY THINGS ABOUT A REGION, SUCH AS ITS CLIMATE, ITS VEGETATION, AND THE LANGUAGES THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE THERE SPEAK.  THEREFORE, YOU SPENT THE FIRST FEW WEEKS OF THIS SCHOOL YEAR,  LIKE ALL OF FLP SOCIAL STUDIES CLASSES K-12,  BUILDING GEOGRAPHIC LITERACY, LEARNING MAP SKILLS.  YOU SHOULD NOW BE BETTER ABLE TO DEMONSTRATE YOUR PROFICIENCY IN IDENTIFYING AND USING MAPS TO STUDY WORLD HISTORY. WE ARE NOW WORKING IN OUR WORLD HISTORY TEXT WHILE FINISHING UP OUR PREVIEW MAP WORK.   BEGINNING THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 2ND, THE CLASS WAS DIVIDED INTO THREE GROUPS.   YOU ARE  A HISTORIAN, AN ARCHAEOLOGIST, OR A GEOGRAPHER.  YOU DO ONLY THE HOMEWORK, PROJECTS, AND CLASS ASSIGNMENTS FOR YOUR GROUP.  THE STUDENTS ASSIGNED TO EACH GROUP ARE LISTED ON THE HOMEWORK WEBSITE EACH DAY IN CASE YOU FORGET THE GROUP.

WE BEGAN OUR STUDIES IN THE TEXTBOOK BY UNCOVERING THE PAST, CHAPTER 1.   OUR ESSENTIAL QUESTION IS:  WHY DO SCHOLARS STUDY PEOPLE, EVENTS, AND IDEAS OF LONG AGO?   WE COVERED SECTION 1, STUDYING HISTORY AND  SECTION 2, STUDYING GEOGRAPHY.  THEN, OVER THE BREAK , WE WRAPPED UP CHAPTER 1 WITH THE QUESTION SECTION AT THE END OF THE CHAPTER.

WE REVIEWED OUR BREAK HOMEWORK AND PREPARED FOR THE QUIZ ON CHAPTER 1.   WE THEN MOVED TO CHAPTER 2, THE STONE AGES AND EARLY CULTURES.  OUR ESSENTIAL QUESTION FOR THIS CHAPTER IS:  HOW DID HUMANS’ WAYS OF LIVING  CHANGE AS THEY INTERACTED AND ADAPTED?

WE HAVE COMPLETED CHAPTER 2, SECTION 1, THE FIRST PEOPLE.  WE HAVE READ IT, DEFINED THE KEY TERMS,  ANSWERED THE READING CHECK AND THE SECTION QUESTIONS.  WE WENT BACK AND LOOKED AT THE SECTION MORE CAREFULLY AND THEN WENT ON TO SECTION 2.

WE HAVE CONNECTED OUR BEGINNING OF THE YEAR MAP SKILLS TO OUR TEXTBOOK CHAPTERS ON EARLY MAN.  WE HAD SEVERAL MAPS FOR CLASSWORK AND HOMEWORK, ONE OF THEM FOR THIS PAST WEEKEND.  STUDENTS WERE ABLE TO DEMONSTRATE WHAT THEY LEARNED ABOUT MAPPING AND ANSWER QUESTIONS ABOUT MAPPING IN COMPLETE SENTENCES.

WE FINISHED CHAPTER 2, SECTIONS 2 AND 3, EARLY HUMAN MIGRATION AND THE BEGINNINGS OF AGRICULTURE.  THE EXAM WILL COVER CHAPTERS 1 AND 2 IN THE TEXTBOOK AND OUR RECENTLY ACQUIRED MAP SKILLS.

OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS, WE COMPLETED END OF THE CHAPTER EXERCISES, AND WE ARE NOW READY TO BEGIN OUR STUDY GUIDE FOR THE EXAM.

IT MAY BE DIFFICULT TO BELIEVE BUT THIS IS THE END OF FIRST MARKING PERIOD ALREADY.  WHEN WE FINISH UP OUR STUDY GUIDE TODAY, YOU WILL BE READY TO TAKE YOUR 1ST MARKING PERIOD EXAM TOMORROW.

OUR GOAL:  YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO PASS THE EXAM WITH A MINIMUM GRADE OF 75%.

ALL GROUPS HAVE THE SAME STUDY GUIDE, BUT DIFFERENT EXAMS.
