HWC Day 5 - Culture, Primary Document Analysis, & Periodization

Objective:    Apply knowledge of elements of culture.  Define history and the social sciences as they will be applied in HWC.  Explore the difficulties and justifications for periodization in history.

Task:  When you arrive to class, please pick up a card.  You'll spend the first portion of class working with a partner to identify the elements of culture in a provided image. After you finish your image analysis, please work on "Considering Periodization" (in unit 1 of Schoology).   

After everyone has finished the quiz, I'll explain the Primary Document Posts, Primary Document Comments, and Scholarly Journal Summaries that you'll complete throughout the duration of the course.  You'll post these assignments to our class blog.  The rubrics and PDFs of/links to the primary documents are posted in Schoology in the "HWC Primary Documents" folder.  Further, I've shared the Spreadsheet, "HWC PDP, PDC, & SJS Analysis - Fall 2016" with you via GoogleDrive.

Then, we'll finish class with the Primer presentations.
