//rjfisher.lgusd.org/apps/classes/1023728/assignments/ Class Name: 4th Period History-21-22 Instructor(s): Jack Marden en-us SchoolSitePro //rjfisher.lgusd.org/homeworkItem8666940 //rjfisher.lgusd.org/apps/classes/1023728/assignments/ How do human systems restructure after a catastrophe?

When we say "human systems" you can think about communities, networks, and production & distribution.

We have done "The Caliphate," "Networks and Exchange in the Islamic World," the Edpuzzle "The Emergence of Islam," "States & Empires of West Africa," and the Edpuzzle "Mansa Musa and Islam in West Africa."  These should all have at least one piece of evidence in your bank about how they show systems restructuring.

From the remaining sources, including the Edpuzzle video "Rebuilding the Silk Road," pick two more sources to find evidence from.  You can divide these up with your group mates to decide who gets what.  That way, you have more evidence that can be used in your game.

There are two main product point categories.  Each is worth 10 points: Collaboration & Critical Thinking


There are also 20 process points.  There will be a self & peer reflection you complete at the end of the project, as well as daily reflections you complete in the Group Work Journal attached here.  Your table group is your group.


*IMPORTANT*
AT THE END OF THE PROJECT, when your group has finished the all the slides, every member must make a copy and add it to this post so I can grade each one individually.  

Last but not least, don't forget to have fun with this!  Whether you're an artist, gamer, story teller, whatever, there are lots of ways to be creative and enjoy this project.

**NOTE**
If your corrections are not satisfactory, you will not get credit.  Just doing this isn't enough, I need to see evidence that you've learned from your mistakes.  
If you finish early, leave a comment on this assignment and I'll try to check it early.

1. **Renaming the Period Project Note**

Many have emailed asking questions about the project that was due yesterday.  Here are some answers to common questions:
If you made the project on paper, just put your name on it and turn it in.
If you were absent when we worked on it or when we introduced it, you can have extra time to turn it in.  You can even wait for me to get back to answer your specific questions.
MLA citations are difficult with Edpuzzle Videos & PDF articles.  For the videos, try to use the URL from Youtube by searching the title of the video.  For the articles follow this format:
Author Last Name, First Name, "Title of Article", Title of Journal (World History Project), page #
I can answer more questions when I return.  Don't panic about the due date.  These are special circumstances.


2. Your first priority is to make sure your projects are finished. 

Review the Slides on the post for examples, templates, & instructions.
Review the Rubric attached to the GC post.  Notice the 2 big categories to focus on.  This will become 10 product points in Classroom.
Peer review each other's comics.  Make sure:
a) the narrative makes sense (evidence clearly proves why the name of the period fits)

b) the rubric is at least being met, if not exceeded

3. Read the Intro & Learning Objectives attached

4. Read the instructions for the final project of the year where you will build a board game that demonstrates what you learn from our studies.  We will focus most of our time studying Islamic Empires and West African kingdoms to show how human systems can restructure after collapse.  During/after reading the instructions and rubric, you should write down one question to ask me when I return.  Please no emailed questions.  Wait till I get back.


5. Watch an Edpuzzle video “The Emergence of Islam” (use “Log in with Google”)


6. Read TCI Online “Islam in Medieval Times” & do activities (log in with Clever)


7. Read TCI Online "The Origins and Spread of Islam" & do activities


8. 3 Close Reads: The Caliphate

Start by completing 1-3 in the doc using your Dark or Not doc for evidence.  If your "Dark or Not" doc is complete, you should be able to finish this by the end of Monday.  Then look at the Slides & the example of a Graphic Biography attached to this post and begin to draft & develop your comic.

The name of your period should be 1-4 words long.  See the examples below:
Age of Exploration
First Industrial Revolution
Stone Age
Bronze Age
Great Depression
Age of Information
Agricultural Revolution

Thoroughly answer the questions, especially #3.  If #3 is not answered in detail, then you will not get credit.

Corrections turned in after that will not be accepted.
