Today...
1. Opener: What factors (political, economic, social, technological, etc) spurred or supported European Exploration?
2. Notes: Age of Exploration highlights
3. Intro in-class project (if you were absent, see me)
..... With a partner, you will create a talk show Q&A about a famous explorer (one of you is a reporter, one of you is the explorer). You will have Friday and Monday in class to work on your scripts (you don't have to memorize it), and presentations will happen Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday if needed. Points will be earned based on participation (are you on-task?), creativity (costumes optional but encouraged), and quality of information and presentation. You may make a movie rather than present live in front of the class, but it must be ready and working on your presentation day.
HOMEWORK
for Tuesday

for tuesday:
what kind of notes do you mean?
Re: Notes, I mean record the main ideas/concepts/people in the chapter.
You can use a graphic organizer, an outline format, or another way to take notes that helps you. If you want a specific example, talk to me tomorrow.
You can also use the suggestions that your book provides (look in the margins of the text) or just answer the questions, if that's easier.
Ms Shea where is the extra credit opportunity?
I haven't had a chance to post the Extra Credit yet, hopefully it'll be up by the weekend. You'll have a big chunk of time to do it, no worries.
merci Madame Shea
you rock!!!
