HWC Day 2 - Foundations Investigation

Objective:  Identify and utilize library resources necessary to complete activities in HWC.

Task: As you arrive to class, please take one of the playing cards - this will determine your assignment for the "Civilization Primer" jigsaw activity.  I'll briefly explain the jigsaw and the foundations investigation.  Then, Mrs. Kost will review useful library resources and effective Internet research methods.

As you complete the  "Foundations Investigation" please consider:
  • All work should be your OWN - this is NOT a collaborative activity and answers should be provided in your own words!
  • Use your Globalization & Diversity textbooks to identify the cultural regions for part II.
  • You must use PRINT copies of History Today and Current History to complete questions 52 & 53.  These responses will be posted as comments on the class blog (http://svhs-hwc-spring2014.blogspot.com/)
  • Use NoodleTools to submit your citation and summary for question 54.
For Monday, please bring  Guns, Germs, & Steel, the completed book review comparison chart, and all accompanying materials to class.
