Unit 1 Road Map – a
guide to what you do in what order Tips: What Helps Learning? |
1.
Check
the dates that you need to do each Check Your Knowledge quiz for this Unit so
you can qualify for the extra credit. (The Course Schedule at the end of the
syllabus says all dates.)
2.
Use
the Preview link to decide your answers to the questions for this Part of the
Unit. Don’t look anything up. Tip: Write your answers on a piece of
paper. If you guess, add a ? mark
by the answer.
3.
In
Blackboard, take the actual Check Your Knowledge quiz to determine what you
actually knew and didn’t know.
4.
For
each question you missed, use the Tips link to decide what you need to read in
the chapters for this Part and what resources you need from Digging Deeper. Tips:
·
Print
or copy the Tips link to your computer. First use it to record what you missed
and knew. Later record where you found the answers in the textbook or in the
Digging Deeper resources.
·
If
there is no tip for a question, use the index at the back of the book to locate
the information.
5.
Before
you start your detailed study, turn the pages of the textbook chapters for this
Part of the Unit. Don’t try to read, but notice the era by looking at pictures
and noticing prominent people and trends.
6.
As
you work, if you can’t find information on a question you missed by using the
Index at the back of the book, email me so I can revise the link to the
questions with Tips.
7.
When
you finish (or as you work), make yourself pretend to teach the quiz questions
to another person, such as a cousin who is smart but who doesn’t know this content.
8.
On
the date of your quiz, come to class prepared for the 10-point quiz before the
lecture. Tip: If you did the Check Your
Knowledge quiz by the date in the Course Schedule and if you make a score of 8
or 10, you earn 2 extra credit points for keeping up.
9.
Repeat
the steps above with each Part of the Unit.
1.
Check
the dates for the comparisons and the exam so you plan ahead.
2.
Use
the Comparison Topics to find out the possible topics and begin to observe how things
changed on those topics during and across the Unit. With Unit 1, you have
a.
An Introductory Comparison covering topics for
about one-third of the time period
b.
A
Unit 1 Comparison covering the whole time period on the same broad topics.
Tip: Both include a visual to help you see
changes and know where to read about those changes.
3.
Complete
the Introductory Comparison.
4.
Examine
the feedback on the Introductory Comparison and on your following the 5 Good
Habits for Evidence to plan your Unit 1 Comparison. If you don’t know how to
prevent the problems, ask for help.
5.
Take
your Objective Exam for Unit 1.
6.
Complete
and submit Comparison Topic for Unit 1.
