Unit 1 Road Map – Keep
This Link Open As You Do Your Work Tips: What Helps Learning? |
The Roadmap tells
you:
1.
What you need to do to make points
for each Unit and what may be different with a Unit
2.
How to do the work so that you learn
history, not just the facts in the quiz questions but enough history that you
can apply it to a problem in the course (those comparisons you write) and to
the problems you will face in your life (This course applies those principles
covered in 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 the 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:
·
Copy
the Tips link to your computer. First use it to record what you missed and what
you 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. (The Course Schedule at the end of the syllabus says the
date.)
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 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 writing and exam so you plan ahead. (The Course Schedule at
the end of the syllabus says the dates.)
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, Practice 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 Practice Comparison and use the feedback on your following Good Habits for
Evidence to plan your Unit 1 Comparison.
4.
Complete
your Comparison Topic for Unit 1.
5.
Take
your Objective Exam for Unit 1.
