12th History SL & HL Homework: August 31 - September 4

Note that we will use this blog to post homework until the school starts using Edline in a few weeks. Remember the homework is due the following class meeting date and if digital, it is due by 5:30 am.

____________________________
For classes meeting Monday and Tuesday:


1) Learner Profile: Create a profile of you as a Learner today. Create a profile of who you want to be as a learner in June. In other words, what goals do you hope to reach by June: 

You are to create a personal profile of yourself. Draw from the information you present in your Facebook or MySpace pages to create a profile of who you are today. In other words, paint a picture of yourself. The second part of the task is to describe who you would like to be by the end of the school year. Look to use categories like who you are socially, emotionally, physically and intellectually.  You will share your present day and June profiles with the class in a 4 minute or less presentation.
The presentation format is up to you (e.g., PowerPoint, Mind Map, Song, Poem, Art, etc.)


2) Email Mr. Carpenter using your Gmail account so that he can add you as a contact. Make sure to list your full name and class (History HL) in the subject line. Mr. Carpenter will be receiving emails from all his students this week so make sure you follow this protocol.  


3) Chapter 11 outline and primary source analysis summer homework: If possible, copy and paste into two separate Google Docs. Name one “Chapter 11 Outline” and the second “Primary Source Analysis”. Share them with Mr. Carpenter using his Gmail email address (carpenter.cas@gmail.com). Make sure to list your full name and class in the subject line. Mr. Carpenter will be receiving emails from all his students this week. If you hand wrote them, bring them to class. In either case, bring a paper copy of both papers to class for peer editing support. 


4) Mr. Carpenter’s blog: You are to bookmark the URL of Mr. Carpenter’s blog (http://carpenter-cashistory.blogspot.com) on your parent’s computer. Have your parents read the introduction post in Mr. Carpenter’s blog. Explain to your parents that they should check the blog weekly to learn about what is happening in the class. This will be one way to bring your parents into our learning community. Mr. C will be posting the weekly homework assignments to the blog for the first couple of weeks as the school is not ready to start using Edline. In the future, the blog will where a summary of how the week went along with other information for your parents. 




Assessment: Remember that no late work is accepted for this class. If you fail to complete work, you let yourself and your classmates down as you will not be able to participate as well in our classroom learning activities.

For classes meeting Wednesday and Thursday:


1) OPVL Analysis: You have been hired by the director of a major museum to analyze several original primary source documents that have been donated to the museum. There is limited space in the display case of the museum. The museum director wants your analysis of the documents so that she can decide which ones best meet the purpose of the display. She is not looking for which one is the “best” or most valid, she simply wants insights as to what the documents provide using the OPVL analysis system.

You are to do your work in Google Documents, save it as “12SL or HL-Museum-Your Name”. Share it with Mr. Carpenter. Bring a paper copy or your laptop with a Word version to class.

Using the OPVL categories, write a description of each document listed below. Mr. Carpenter will email you a document that further describes the OPVL process. Make sure he has your email address!



The League of Nations is Alive   First two paragraphs

Mussolini writes about Fascism   First seven paragraphs

Cartoon  I don’t have where this source was printed but the date is in the 1920s.
