Goodbye Nationalism, Hello Industrial Revolution!  But as always, don't let nationalism fall out of your brain - you'll need it again later in the year!

Tonight:

1) read Section 25.1 The Beginnings of Industrialization (That links to an online section of the Chapter)
2) For each of the vocabulary words (there are 7) write two definitions.  The first one should be the definition from the book, the second is YOUR version written in your own words.
3)  Write your prediction about the Industrial Revolution you made in class ("I believe the Industrial Revolution will be ________ for Europe in the world because...")

Your homework must be posted to the blog.  Anyone having blog issues that they haven't resolved yet need to see me ASAP.

Understanding Unique Identities

I forgot to mention this in class today!  We're going to start talking about the effects of modern day nationalism next week and to do that I wanted to demonstrate to you that part of the issue with nationalism today is that it doesn't mean the same thing to everyone.  This weekend, interview two adults about their perceived identities, in terms of nationality, ethnicity, race, and religion.  Do not define these terms for them.  Use the charts in the form below to collect your data.

**remember to mention their answers will be confidential (known as subjects A and B) and you do not need to ask people from the United States.  It might be interesting if you ask a parent, neighbor, etc. from a different country about their views on the subject- it may be very different than ours!

Here is the form for the data collection assignment this weekend.  Remember to ask TWO adults (over 18)!

Understanding Unique Identities

Evaluating Bismarck

Otto von Bismarck Documents

What makes a good leader?  It is getting things done or is there more to it than that?  In your small group, you're going to evaluate Bismarck based on the sources provided to you, as well as the information in the text book/notes we've taken in class.  For each group, grab markers and a big piece of paper in which you will outline your argument.

We will share the posters in class and you will post a picture of your groups poster on your blog, with an answer to the following question:

In your opinion, was Otto von Bismarck a good leader?  What are your qualifications of a good leader?  Support your answer with evidence. 

In Class 10/17

Nationalism in Fairytales?  You betcha.  This ain't your Disney Cinderella story...

Read about the Grimm Brothers HERE and choose a story to read (also linked up HERE.)  Once you've read your story, think about the message you would take from it if you were a child hearing it during its time period (1914ish).

What's the moral of the story?  Who are the bad guys?  Who are the good guys?  Who might the bad/good guys represent?  

Homework: None

For tonights homework, please read section 24.1 Latin American Peoples Win Independence (there isn't an online version of this chapter, you'll need to use your textbook - or if you're better at the Internet than I am and you do find it, post it in the comments for everyone to enjoy)

Be ready for a Socrative DIRT quiz on the section!

In class 10/3

Good morning everyone..unfortunately I will not be in school today, but while I'm gone I'd like you to begin working on a crest for your (made up) country.

The link to the assignment is HERE, and you can download the PDF of the crest HERE if you need another one.

In short, this is what you need to accomplish:

• design a crest.  Must have color, and each box must be used somehow - it's up to you.  
• write a reflection that answers the questions on the assignment page (step three).  This will be posted on YOUR blog

You may print out / glue images if you'd like - drawing is totally cool too. As always, you won't be graded on drawing ability, but your ability to create a presentable piece of work.  Since you may not have the resources ideas you need today while I'm absent, some things you can be working on are the actual crest, researching what images you need/want to have on your crest and finding what they represent, or writing the post and filling in the crest later.

There is a link on the assignment page (linked above in this post) to a website that is a huge list of commonly used symbols in national crests throughout the world.  Futhermore, THIS online chapter (not your book, but similar) has really good examples on pg 602 of how countries like the US, Austria, and Zimbabwe use their crests to reflect their national identity. 

Your crest and post will be a 15pt homework grade, and the whole thing will be due Monday, October 7.  You should also be reading section 24.1 for homework tonight (see post below).
