Europe Test Day
Today we will start the class by playing the Kahoot Europe Review game. Once finished we will take the test. When students finish the test, they should continue to work on the Advertisment project as part of their Imperialsim Unit.
Objective: Provided a Kahoot Game review for Europe, students will be able to identify through the Kahoot Game, various political and physical places and features of Europe.
Rationale: Its always good to play review games prior to a test to see what you know and what you still need to study.
Evidence: By playing the game students will see a preview of the test and will be able to confirm the stuff they know and see where they fall short

Imperialism Pro-Con & Advertisement Project
The students will be broken into pairs. (students sitting at an even number will be assigned the paragraph by Paul Leroy-Beilieu, and the students sitting in odd numbered seats will be assigned the paragraoh by Mark Twain)
Students will be partnered based on their numbers. Odd number pairings (1,3) (5,7) (9,11) (13,15) (17,19) (21,23) (25,27) (29,31) (33,35) Even Number pairings (2,4) (6,8) (10,12) (14,16) (18,20) (22,24) (26,28) (30,32) (34,36)
Even numbered studens - “The Desirability of Imperialism” by Paul Leroy-Beilieu. -Here
Odd numbered students - Mark Twain’s brief piece condemning Imperialism. - Here
Project - the paragraph you were assigned has 3 pages. The 1st page is the paragraph regarding imperialism, Rhe 2nd page is the 3 questions you need to answer and submit to Google Classroom. The 3rd page conatins lots of details/examples that can be used when creating your project.
Your Project is to create an advertisement promoting or discouraging (based on which paragaph you were assigned) the idea of Imperialsim. Image being citizens of a ficticious country. A campaign has begun to consider colonizing another country. The decsion will be decided based on a vote from the population.
Use the information presented in the paragraph as well as the supporting details to devise a 8.5 X 11 presentation page to convince the public your side is right. Think of it as an advertisement in a magazine, and you are trying to sell a product (like a car advertisement) OR convince people they should never buy it (like an ad explaining all the harmful effects of cigarettes).
Be creative, use graphics, and other tools you have used in the past. Look-up examples of advertisements and steal some of the ideas you like.
