Gallery Poster Assignment

SPARTANS:

In regard to the poster assignment, remember to follow directions explicitly. Here are a few reminders and suggestions:

1) "Non-Internet source" means it should not be accessed through the use of your computer! Find a book on a shelf and get to reading.

2) Make sure you are addressing 3-4 country examples if your option refers to countries in "the Americas" or "Latin America".

3) Make sure your summary is detailed and has enough background/context for your "audience" (classmates) to understand the issues.

4) In your summary, do not forget to include a timeline of events that relates to your option. The timeline should be in the format of what I call a "vertical timeline", as I described in class: date, colon, descriptive sentence. For example:

10 February 1763: The Peace of Paris ended the French and Indian War
22 March 1765: The English Parliament passed the Stamp Act
5 March 1770: The Boston Massacre

5) Make sure you are sticking to your option assignment. Do not stray from the topic or issue.

Reading Assignment Reminder for Monday, 15 September

SPARTANS,

On the whole you've been being doing a great job so far this year. There have been some bumps in the road, but those can be overcome with determination and persistence. I want to see dedication continue in your work throughout the year.

Remember that by tomorrow, 15 September, you should have read Chapters 1 and 2 in the dark green Latin America: An Interpretive History. Please be ready for discussion.

Enjoy your Sunday evening,
Mr. Todd
