Work Day to complete historical parts of the project as divided up on day one. You can choose which digital format you want to use (no Google Slides), but here are some how-to videos for options.
How-to Video on Canva - this video was made with a different project in mind. You can share access to your group product, but only one person can work on it at a time. You CAN each make your own product on Canva and merge them into one by downloading the individual pieces and then uploading them as images. Ask your teacher for help if needed.
Flipsnack How-To video - again, this was designed for a different project, but it will show you how to use it.
Exit ticket using Goggle Forms - update Mr. O'Brien and Ms. Russow on how you've divided up the work for this project
For a News program, there are many apps that will help your presentation look like "the news": Newsbooth is one or try any of these five free ones.
Submit link to project using Google Form if you didn't on Friday (just so we have them all in one place - projects won't be graded until after the due date)
Tuesday, January 23:
Class discussion - historical connections to current imperialism
Work Day
Check over ALL of the days above. Are you missing any work? You've been assigned work through EdPuzzle and ActivelyLearn, so make sure these are done.
View new EdPuzzle on how to use ActivelyLearn to your benefit! Log in to your account to find it. (Due Wednesday at midnight.)
Each individual group member needs to hit "publish" their flipbook (on the main screen) once finished
In some way (Google doc or otherwise), create a single 'table of contents' for your flipbooks that links to each individual part. See example here. Be creative though - try to make your unique!
Exit Ticket: Use the Rubric to complete the Google Form - this is for a grade, due at the start of class tomorrow

Modern-day Organizer (if you need some guidance with this step - just don't use the same example)
DRIVING QUESTION: How can we, as historians, determine which president from the first half of US History has the most influence our lives today?Mini-lesson: Historians create context by finding specific, known facts about a given time period, person, society (etc.) and drawing connections to both the past and the present through the use of a variety of sources.
Tuning Protocol Activity: students will provide each other with feedback regarding their rough draft so far so that it can be fine-tuned. If you’re absent, please have another adult turn it in with your rubric and scavenger hunt activity on Monday.
Fix up presentation so they can be published on the class website Monday morning
