HWC10.11 Day 47 - Sesame Street & Historical Questions

Note:  Wiki editing should be completed by Friday, April 5.  Please make sure that all portions of your wiki page are complete.

Objective:  Examine the impact of global media on local cultures and the impact of local cultures on global media.  Discuss and practice the construction of historical questions.

Task:  As you come into class, please get out your computer and turn it on.  Do NOT log in!  Mr. Hanssen will be updating the computers so that we can participate in a student summit for NetGenEd.  After all of the computers have been turned on, please hand in your wiki editing and collaboration rubric.

Then, get out a blank piece of paper and a pen or pencil.  We're going to spend the first portion of class watching clips from a documentary, "The World According to Sesame Street."  As you watch, take notes on:

1. Ideas/concepts that reinforce and/or expand on things we've already learned
2. New ideas/concepts presented in the documentary
3. Questions that arise as you watch film

Next you'll use your notes comment to "The World According to Sesame Street" Reflection.  

After everyone has completed their reflection, we'll spend a few minutes reviewing the discipline of history and discussing historical questions.  Finally, you'll use the last portion of class with a partner brainstorming for your NetGenEd video.  Remember, your video should address your assigned topic & category, must be a minimum of 2 minutes and a maximum of 5 minutes, and needs to include an outsource clip created by a student from another school.
