Friday Feb 27th Day 32

Rally Schedule Special Bell Schedule Day

We will continue with what we started Wed/Thursday. This is a short period where you should continue to annotate the Guns Germs and Steel article and write the new headlines as well as answer the 3 questions.  - Guns Germs and Steel

In addition, I will be checking your assignment sheet spreadsheet as the grading period ends today. You should check to be sure your spreadsheet agrees with the on-line posted grades I have for you.


Objective: Students will be able to hypothesize about why some countries have accumulated great riches over time while other remained historically poor and share these ideas with classmates in small and large group discussions. In addition, Discuss what they have learned by providing specific reasons, facts, and examples from the film and their notes.

Rationale: Students need to gain a better understanding of the factors that led some civilizations to develop the power to dominate and control other cultures.

Evidence: By summarizing Jared Diamonds theory on why some cultures dominated the world, students will evaluate his theory against other ideas regarding imperialism.
