Thursday & Friday Jan. 30/31st
Students discussed Revolutions, Rebellions and Civil Wars and how these are similar and different and took some basic notes on these. Here is a video on some revolutions in history. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=856kcVieUgU
From here students reviewed the main ideas from the first chapter in the text book (review of grade 8) and they had created a cause and consequence chart (similar to p. 12). They then reviewed what is expected in a good persuasive paragraph (handout) and wrote a paragraph answering the question: Of all the events we discussed on the chart which had the greatest impact and why?
Students worked on paragraphs and did peer editing. (these are to be submitted)
On Friday students wrote their first Friday 5. See blog post with answers to see what was on it. Students then reviewed the revolutions project part 1, which can also be found on the blog here and then went to the library to do some basic 5W+H research.
Monday Feb 3rd
This afternoon in Socials we reviewed how things went with Mr. Shea last week and then went over our Friday 5. We did some review on types of government and monarchies, taking some notes and watching this video on democracy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IndRAsYX4W4. and understood what sort of government/monarchy we have in Canada and what sort of government/monarchy France had prior to the revolution.
Then we discussed what was happening in France prior to the Revolution. We watched these two videos and made a list of causes of the French Revolution.
