DUE TODAY
- HOMEWORK CORNER 1. iReady: 48 lessons by Friday (this is the LAST for the semester!) 2. Achieve: See tracker 3. If you do not finish the independent work (history vocab review and Marco Polo article), it must be done for homework. Standards: 7.3.4: Understand the importance of both overland trade and maritime expeditions between China and other civilizations in the Mongol Ascendancy and Ming Dynasty. 7.8.3: Understand the effects of the reopening of the ancient “Silk Road” between Europe and China, including Marco Polo’s travels and the location of his routes RH 7.2: Determine the central ideas or information of a primary or secondary source; provide an accurate summary of the source distinct from prior knowledge or opinions. WHST 7.2: Write informative/explanatory texts, including the narration of historical events. Objectives: SWBAT describe the factors that enabled trade in Post-Classical/Medieval China by analyzing primary and secondary source documents. DO NOW: 7 minutes Students will answer the warmup questions on page 1 of their packets: What was the name of this trade route? What area of the world did it run through? Describe 1-2 geographical (land) features of this world region. What animal made traveling over this long journey possible? Why was this animal so special and necessary for this journey? What other factors enabled (allowed for) trade along this road? Early finishers: If you were a trader, which of the above goods (listed in the map) would you most want to purchase or sell? Why? DIRECT: 10 minutes We will be going over some background information regarding the Mongolian Empire and Genghis Khan. The majority of today will be done through historical inquiry and document analysis, however, we need to go over some basic information together first! :) INDEPENDENT I: 20 minutes Scholars will be given time frames to help pace themselves through the documents. For each document, scholars must annotate according to the directions in the presentation. Each central idea should be 2 sentences long, and answer the essential question for today: What factors enabled trade in Post-Classical/Medieval China? Ms. Francavillo will monitor student progress using the CFS listed on scholar packets. COLLABORATIVE: 15 minutes Scholars will be given samples of historical writing to read and score. Partners will work together to evaluate these samples and choose the stronger one. We are looking to find to what degree contextualization makes a piece of historical writing stronger. Scholars will be expected to provide context in their exit tickets today, and should be looking to improve their writing through this analysis and discussion! INDEPENDENT II: 15 minutes Scholars will have 15 minutes to write their response using the CFS provided. 1. My response is contextualized: I have explained important historical events and circumstances surrounding the essential question. 2. My response clearly answers the essential question in the form of a claim. 3. My response uses evidence from at least two different sources. 4. I have cited evidence using APA format. 5. I have clearly and thoroughly explained how each factor cited led to increased trade in Medieval China. COLLABORATIVE II: 10 minutes Each scholar will trade their response with someone else in class. They will read their partner's response, and grade according to the CFS. They will then write feedback to their partner (one strength, and one way that writing could be improved). Ms. Francavillo will show-call 3 exemplary responses. With any time left over, scholars will: 1. Complete the history vocabulary review sheet. 2. Read, annotate, and summarize the "Marco Polo" article from the Mariner's Museum. **If these assignments are not completed in class, they will be assigned as homework.** Comments are closed.
