IB 20 HOTA
To begin with today we went through a few of the values and limitations exercises that I gave you on Friday. We discussed values and limitations based on their origins, purpose and content for three of the seven scenarios on the worksheet. I also took in what you wrote to get a sense of your depth of understanding of this OPCVL exercise. You need to go through the course syllabus, and pick 5 topics that you're interested in, and write a potential research question for each topic (5 research questions in total), and submit them on Wednesday for me to check over their viability as a research question for your IA. I started talking about the Age of Enlightenment today, and I will continue with this lecture tomorrow. I really enjoyed answering your questions today, so please keep participating and asking questions in class. On Wednesday, you will have the Enlightenment Thinkers Quiz, please see the study guide below.

I did a homework check on your 25 item chart today, and I will give these back to you tomorrow. I talked about your global connections mapping assignment today, please see the instructions below. You also had time to work on your Chapter 2 Key Terms and Questions. I'll be doing a homework check on your Chapter 1 Key Terms and Questions tomorrow. On Friday, you'll be writing your World Geography Test (please see the study guide below).
Global Connections Map Assignment Instructions:
Here are the instructions for the map (which is due on Thursday, September 13th):
- your map must have a title ("Global Connections Map")
- you do not need compass directions on your map
- you do not need a border for your map
- you must have a simple key on the front of the map and a detailed key on the back on the map
- your simple key will consist of the following: 5-6 colored boxes (depending on how many categories you had for your 25 item chart) which will be labeled- food, clothing, electronics, entertainment, household goods, miscellaneous AND you must also draw a colored dot and label it "people" (for the information from the Global Bingo game that we played)
- you will only color countries and label ones that you have a connection to through the 25 item chart (for example, you own a sombrero that is from Mexico, you would color Mexico and label it "Mexico")
- there will only be 5-6 colors on the map, you don't need to have 25 different colors for each of your 25 items
- you also have to label the 16 people that you talked to during our Global Bingo game, they will be represented by colored circles (pick a common color for all people) and numbers (1-16, if you didn't talk to 16 people, you label as many as you talked to)--you do not color the countries that are represented on your Global Bingo card, you simply draw a circle on the country, color it, put a number beside it, and label the country (for example, if the only connection you have to Australia is that one of your classmates went on a vacation there, you draw the circle, write the number beside the circle, and label the country "Australia"-- you don't color the country)
- on the detailed key on the back of your map, you will be recreating your 25 item chart (make sure that you have the categories clearly colored and matching the simple key on the front of the map) and the information from the Global Bingo card (clearly identify people by number) Your Global Connections Map is due on Monday, September 14th.
