HWC Day 5 - Critical Thinking & Collaboration


Objective:  Define history and the social sciences as they will be utilized in HWC.  Collaborate in a Web2.0 environment to create an informative presentation.

Task:  As we begin our second week of class, it is essential to consider the process of critical thinking.  We'll define and identify the steps for 'critical thinking.'  Then, after a brief introduction to SlideRocket, you will work with your group to create your presentation.  As you are creating your presentation, consider the following:
  1. Although you will all have access to the SlideRocket presentation, only one person can edit at a time.
  2. The purpose of the presentation is to help your classmates understand the main ideas of your chosen section.  The presentation should complement the summary.
  3. The presentation must be at least 3 minutes but no more than 4 minutes in length.
  4. Be sure that you double check the rubric for grading criteria.
You will also have a portion of class tomorrow to finish your presentation but ALL presentations must be ready at the beginning of class on Thursday.

Homework:

  • Due Thursday, 9/6 - Primer presentations (at beginning of class)
  • Due Thursday, 9/6 - Foundations Investigation (all posts to Moodle & blog must be completed by 3:00 pm)
  • Friday, 9/7 - Reading quiz on Chapter 1 of Globalization & Diversity
