Wed Per 2,6

Step 1:
You are providing your "Best Guess" as to pro and con on these issues
We will start with the intro chart. Each table (4 people) will answer the chart separately, then will share their answers and combine answers into one doc.

China One Child Policy Introduction Chart - Intro Chart Assignment (each student will fill in a doc)

One the chart has been filled-in, tables will share-out their answers and compare to the rest of the class.

After you have discussed differences and or similarities...then upload the doc into the Google Classroom folder Titled "One Child Policy Form"

Step 2:
Access the One Child Policy Essay and Questions. These questions can be discussed at your table. China One Policy Intro reading -
Intro Article Regarding One Child Policy (read the 1-page summary yourself, but you can collaborate on the answers)
Question and Answer Sheet (this is where you place the answers to each question, and upload the do into Google Classroom folder when finished)

SAVE THE WORK BELOW TO BE TURNED-IN Friday in class

Step 4: Students will split up responsibilities at their table with each student being assigned a separate DBQ document.  (There are 4 students per table, so 3 of you will have 2 of the docs and one will be assigned only 1) Each document has a reading and questions. Each student will be responsible for their assigned documents and questions. When finished each table should share their findings and discuss the main theme of the document. Students will upload their assigned doc answers to a Google Classroom folder. Save your doc using the two letters of the doc you were assigned...such as A_E, if you were assigned only 1, save the doc such as...Single_B.
Doc A
Doc B
Doc C
Doc D
Doc E
Doc F
Doc G

Step 5: Once this is completed, students will group the document based on a common theme into sections of the chart  - Grouping Chart - Grouping Chart. This activity will allow students to group similar ideas addressing the One Child Policy.

Step 6: The last step is to read and answer the last "summary" article regarding the One Child Policy - Part 2 Article & Q's
Questions and Answer Sheet (this is the sheet with questions and places for answers, and will be the doc you upload to Google Classroom)

Tuesday & Wed Feb 27th & 28th Days 31 & 32

Demographic Transition Model &

China's One Child Policy

Objective: Given access to several primary source materials dealing with the various components affecting the One Child Policy in China, students will be able to explain with supporting detail their opinion on if the policy was a good idea or a bad idea, using a chart to identify the various strengths and weaknesses of the system.

Rationale: Overpopulation is a very real issue affecting the world today, and will become a bigger issue for countries if they are unable to support their population. China faced this real problem in the 1980's, and students should understand the decision china took and the consequences (both good and bad) for those decisions.

Evidence: By arguing through evidence that the One Child Policy was good or bad, the student will demonstrate their understanding of the various factors which went into the Policy and the effects of its implementation.

Current Events Mapping Monday's

The next Mapping Unit we are doing is Africa

Objective: Given access to a Chromebook, students will be able to access Google MyMaps App and a Google Drive based Current Events Template from the class Blog. Using the MyMaps app and the template, students will be able to look-up current events and summarize their selected story on the template. In addition, students will be able to use the MyMaps app to plot the location of these current event stories. 

Rationale: Students need to utilize the tools taught to them to ensure the learning becomes a part of their skill set. In addition, students need to become geographical aware of the world around them.

Evidence: Filling-in the Current Events template as well as using MyMaps to plot the location of the stories, will demonstrate that students have acquired the basic skills of fulfilling the  assignment.

Population

 Today's schedule

With the spread of the Industrial Revolution in the 18th century, dramatic changes began to occur in the populations of industrializing countries. But do the changes that occurred in Western Europe and the United States have relevance for modern countries just entering the industrial age? Students should be able to evaluate and apply models to explain changes in global demographic patterns, and use their assessments to predict future needs.

Objectives:

To understand the classic demographic transition (DT) model

To explain assumptions and limitations of the classic DT model

To construct graphs of contemporary demographic change

To explain contemporary demographic patterns in the context of the classic DT model
To view population growth from a Malthusian perspective
To calculate crude death rates, birth rates, rates of natural increase, and population doubling times
To comprehend the concept of the Demographic Transition

After working through the Demographic Transition Model assignment you should be able to:

• Describe current population trends, in terms of fertility, mortality and population growth.
• Understand the consequences of current population trends for future well being.
• Describe how the population issues facing the world today differ by region.
• Understand the basic concept of the demographic transition.
• Describe some of the differences between historical transitions and contemporary transitions.

Rationale - Students current understanding of the global population growth and its effects on available resources is very limited. This unit will allow students to acquire information to help understand the challenges countries face when it comes to population controls

Evidence - By correctly listing the challenges countries have the different solutions offered to solve those challenges, will allow students to demonstrate evidence that their know the challenges facing their future.

Thursday & Friday Feb 1st & 2nd Days 17 & 18

For Tuesday/Wednesday

Objective - Given a blank map with USA expansion territories identified, as well as resources of the historical expansion, students will be able to list and identify the westward expansion of the USA and the various treaties,wars, and or purchases that led to the modern borders of the USA (including Alaska and Hawaii)

Rationale - Most students know the various states within the USA, but are unfamiliar with how the USA acquired the land. Having a historical reference of how the USA went from 13 colonies to where we are today is basic knowledge everyone should know.

Evidence - By correctly listing and labeling the various land acquisitions of the USA, students will demonstrate the ability to articulate our countries historical growth

During this period you will be starting the USA Expansion Map and Google Doc assignment.
In addition we will be working on the California Regions Assignment


Make a copy of the Expansion Summary Chart to record the various stages of our expansion.
You should have also brought the USA expansion map. Color in the map and label the various section by their name (how the USA got them) and the year when they were acquired as I present the information.

USA Expansion Summary Chart -Here

USA Expansion History Presentation

Part 2 - Textbook Chapter 7 Regions of the United States- 

When you finish the California Regions Activity, use one of the textbooks in class to start Chapter 7 on USA Regions. Read the chapter and answer the questions on the following pages - Questions #1-5 on Page 160, Questions #1-5 On page 166, Questions 1-5 on Page 170, and Questions 1-5 on Page 175.  You do not need to re-write the questions, but make sure you clearly label which answers go with which set of questions.

Here is Chapter 7 in pdf format

This is a detailed animation video that explains the expansion of the USA in far more detail that you need for the chart activity. IF you want to watch it in class, you have to use headphones. This shouldn't be used for the chart. The chart is specifically developed with the presentation.
