HWC Day 36 - MJH Pre-Visit, Italian Renaissance, & FCP Wiki Instructions

IMPORTANT FIELD TRIP INFORMATION:   For Friday's field trip to the Museum of Jewish Heritage, all students MUST bring a packed lunch and dress appropriately (no ripped jeans, etc.).  We will meet in the cafeteria for attendance at 7:15 and the busses will leave promptly at 7:30.  If you miss the field trip bus, you will be expected in your regular classes.

Objective:  Prepare for the visit to the Museum to Jewish Heritage.  Evaluate the social, cultural, and political changes of Europe between 1400 and 1750.  Navigate the FCP13-2 wiki to facilitate collaborative research.

Task:  We'll spend the first portion of class preparing for our trip to the Museum of Jewish Heritage.  Next, we'll review the Italian Renaissance with a jigsaw activity.  Finally, we'll start work on the Flat Classroom Project wiki.

I'll "walk" you through the wiki and explain project expectations (see also FCP Wiki Instructions).  Complete the following tasks ASAP:

1. Add your name to the team members list at the bottom of your topic page.  Link your name to your page of the FCP Ning.
2. On the discussion thread, leave a message on the wiki discussion tab for your team members describing what you think your topic is about.
3. On the FCP Ning, if you have not done so already: a) "friend" your student leader and comment on his/her handshake, b) "friend" and comment to the handshakes of the other members in your box on the grid.

Use the FCP Diigo group and the current events posts from your summer reading assignment to help you get started on your research.  When adding your own sources to the FCP Diigo group, be sure to annotate and to follow the project tagging standards.  Over the next week, we'll spend 20 minutes of each class working on the wiki.  However, you should also be checking the discussion thread, gathering research, and adding to the wiki at least one other time each day.  Your grade will be based upon both the quality and quantity of your contributions.
