Wednesday, February 19th

I can use patterns to make predictions.

1. Starter: Draw a T-chart. Write similarities on one side and differences on the other. Compare and contrast Christianity and Judaism based on your prior knowledge of either religion, or religion in general.

2. Crash Course: As you watch the video, Christianity from Judaism to Constantine, answer the questions on the handout.

3. World Religions Research: ** Open the World Religions Chart.  (Don't forget to Make a Copy and save it to your Drive in your World History folder.) Using the information from the Crash Course video, as well as your textbook, complete the Judaism and Christianity portions of your chart.

4. Graphicize It: How can you graphically represent the similarities and differences between Judaism and Christianity. Create a draft of your graphic. Tomorrow we will review the information for your chart and you can create your final product.

5. Ticket Out the Door:  

• Create one higher order thinking question about today's lesson (use process skills).
• Answer the question.

Tuesday, February 18th

I can make prediction based on patterns.

1. Starter: What is your thesis statement for your Fall of Rome essay planning? 

Anyone want to share their civilization?  

PowerPoint on Ancient Rome

2. Fall of Rome: Make sure you have a handout with primary & secondary sources that each have accompanying questions. You need to thoughtfully write detailed answers. You may discuss these sources & questions with a classmate - this DOES NOT mean that you can copy each others' answers!

3. Once you finish working with the sources, you need to open the Google Doc - Fall of Ancient Rome essay planning. MAKE A COPY AND SAVE TO YOUR GOOGLE DRIVE! Complete. Share with me. If this is all you do, you can earn up to an 80.
 

**You must use the information from your notes (PowerPoint & Crash Course) as your examples and information from the sources as your quote.  

4. If you would like the opportunity to earn up to a 100, you need to write the essay in Google Drive and share it with me. The essay will be due Wednesday.

5. Ticket Out the Door - KWL: 

• What is one thing that you knew prior to this lesson about today’s topic?
• What is one thing that you still want to know about the lesson?
• What is one thing that you learned during this lesson?

I can make predictions based on historical patterns. 

This is really bad timing but I have a doctor's appointment in Raleigh today, so I will not be at LEC today. Use your time wisely!

Friday, February 7th

I can evaluate how influential civilizations are structured. 

1. Starter:

2. Brainstorm: If we decide to make this civilization assessment into a competition, what would the rules/guidelines need to be. They need to be historically sound (not random dice throwing or rock/paper/scissors). Consider: 

• How do you decide who to attack? 
• Once there is a battle how do you decide who has the advantage/disadvantage? 
• How do you decide who wins the battle? 
• What kinds of scenario cards (real-life factors in a civilization's success) could be used to enhance the competition in a historically appropriate way?

3. Benchmark Remediation: Complete & turn in!

4. Build Your Civilization: Continue work! Due Monday!

5. Ticket Out the Door: List 2 facts you learned this week that you found interesting and one fact you found confusing or uninteresting.
