BRING TEXTBOOKS TO CLASS - YOU ARE WORKING ON CH. 13 INTERACTIVE NB SECTIONS IN CLASS...CH 13 SECTIONS 1-4...AND THE DOCUMENT EXERCISE ON PEARL HARBOR, PAGE 431 ARE DUE FRIDAY...IN NOTEBOOKS...50 POINTS!!!



HERE ARE THE SEMESTER ASSESSMENT ITEMS ( I will give this as a handout in class tomorrow):

Armstrong’s 1^st Semester Assessment/Exam                                                   20^th Century U.S. History

1.       Assignment Portfolio – 10 assignments/quizzams/handouts …5 pts. Each = 50 Points

D-Day: Thursday, Jan. 16

2.       1^st Semester Illustrated Timeline- 50  Points – DUE THE DAY OF YOR EXAM AND IN YOUR NOTEBOOKS!

Directions: - You will create an illustrated timeline of 10 Specific Events we covered

This semester in class. You must find a picture/image for each. You will also gather evidence (cowbell) briefly identifying the event, date, write a headline or caption for each.

Beneath your timeline (like a footer) rate five of the events according to how much they helped advance the FIVE IDEALS. Award each of those events a rating of 1 (the highest) to 5 the lowest.

In a CEAL paragraph provide/explain the reasons you chose these five on the “last page of your first semester notebook.”

DIRECTIONS:  AFTER YOUR CH. 13/PEARL HARBOR NOTES…OPEN YOUR NOTEBOOKS UP AND YOU WILL USE TWO PAGES FOR YOUR INTERACTIVE TIMELINE! This should be neat and organized, colorful, and worthy of an effort from a high school teenager who loves American History and what it represents. 

 

3.       THE EXAM:  Part A – THE INFAMOUS TEENAGE ALL OR NOTHING ALL AMERICAN CHALLENGE

                                     All –or-Nothing  (25 Points)

        Part B - THE COWBELL SECTION – ID Time!!! From the list below we will pick a 

                       Number out of the hat…the number we pick…that is the ID you will do.

                       2 Paragraphs…Facts….The Significance is… Rubric on Back of this paper.

                       (50 Points)

                             

ID’s – Start organizing now.  Go through your class notes, your textbook, any videos or movies, and or any handouts we have used in class this year.  For each ID…get out a separate sheet of paper and put the “cowbell”…the historical facts…Who, what, when, where, why…the events, the people, the diagrams, lists we used!!!  For “the significance…” think how the event was important THEN…and then how it changed, helped the course of history.  “WHEN I GOT A FEVER…THE ONLY PRESCRIPTION IS…MORE COWBELL.  DO NOT ASSUME I KNOW A SINGLE THING ABOUT THE EVENT.  I WILL BE LOOKING MOST FOR CLASS NOTES AND THINGS WE DID IN CLASS.
