WHAP Day 38 - Southernization as a Process of the Post-Classical Era

Video of the Week - Have you ever felt overwhelmed when you have to study for a difficult test?  I stumbled upon this video this weekend and thought you might find it helpful!

Day 1 - PAW 1

KC3.1.I.  Improved transportation technologies and commercial practices led to an increased volume of trade and expanded the geographical range of existing and newly active trade networks.

Objectives:  Examine the development of trade in the Indian Ocean basin.  Explore and map Southernization during the post-Classical period.

Task:  Good morning!   When you arrive to class, please write your name on a rubric and turn in your DBQ.  Then, clear your desks and get out a pen or pencil.  We'll spend the first few minutes of class taking a pop quiz on the work you completed over the weekend.  Then, go to "WHAP 3.1.I. Thesis Practice"  (linked here & on KC3.1.I. folder) and follow the directions.   After all of the quizzes & thesis statements have been submitted, we'll split into small group to identify details to support KC3.1.I.  Finally, if there is any time remaining, you'll have a few minutes to prepare for tomorrow's simulation.
