IB History Homework: September 23 - 25

_________________________________
For classes meeting Thursday and Friday: Remember that the homework below is due for the next class meeting. :)

1) Review the ESPRAT+G site to further your understanding of this approach to analyzing social studies. 


2) Read in Europe 1870-1991 textbook pp. 227-233 Sections 8.4-8.6. Outline and write questions that come up as you read. Plan to bring the questions to class. 


3) Paper 1 Exam Rewrite: Create a new Google Doc and entitled it “HL or SL- Paper1 Rewrite- first name last name”. Find two other students to work with and share the document with them as they will share theirs with you. You are to take the insights shared in class, review your notes and book and rewrite the answers to questions 2-4 using proper writing techniques. 

Peer Editing: Use the “Comment” tool to give one another feedback on the following criteria:

• Writing- Introduction paragraph with clear topic/thesis. Introduction paragraph includes topics for following paragraphs. Transition sentences from one paragraph to another. Good word choice, strong sentence fluency in well-organized essay. 
• Content- Excellent use of examples and factual information to support author’s points.
• Question- The essay question is clearly answered. 
• Don’ts- Watch for your partner getting too philosophical, using conjecture on “what ifs”, overgeneralizing, and being vague- not to the point.

Self Assess- After the peer editing is completed and you make changes, you are to assess your own work. Use the scoring system provided on the test and put your score in a large font at the end of each section. Then share your document with Mr. Carpenter. Each of your peer editing partners will also assess your work and give you scores for each section. They will email Mr. Carpenter the scores. The emailing protocol is to put the two names of the people you are assessing in the title of your email. Then in the body of the email, put each person’s name and then list each section number with the score you give.

Here is a sample:



Email to Mr. C- “Karim Luy and Marylou Kupfer”. Then in the body. 



Karim’s scores-

1- 3 and 2
2- 5
3- 4

4- 7
 

Your personal assessment and that of your partners will be a part of your final grade for this exam. It is due by 8:00 am next Friday October 2.
