The Product: 

Your group will submit the final products altogether in ONE Google
folder with all individual assignments inside (labeled with title and student names who completed them).
 
​

SHARED folder (NOT a shared drive) name example: 6th hour 60's
​Must be shared with Nunn!


1)  A webquest OR hyperdoc:
​
  • Shows distinct themes or movements during this period that has interactive elements (links, videos, etc.) that have questions the class must answer.
  • This interactive assignment can include activities, notes, fill in the blanks, written sections, but needs to have a plethora of elements about the decade.
  • Is saved in the group Google Folder with "Webquest 70s" or "Hyperdoc 90s"
                      
              *Examples of templates you can use HYPERDOC, WEBQUEST


       Ideas to include in this interactive assignment: 
  • Maps/questions
  • Chart/graph/questions 
  • Videos (authentic footage) *This can include, but should not be limited to "The Best of," Crash Course or historical videos
  • Pictures/questions
  • Music, movies, fashion, popular culture that help exemplify the "feeling" of the decade
  • This assignment should include elements from each of the following categories:
  • Social lifestyles, trends, religious issues, education, etc. American Diversity, Identity, Reform (women’s rights, public health, etc.)
  • Economic- business, inventions, price of goods (gas, food), Environment, Globalization
  • Political-domestic and foreign policy issues​

2)  TWO TIMELINE activities that help students learn about the most important events for your decade- 
​
  • You will use CANVA to create the timelines
    • One will be 10 events for Domestic Issues and one with 10 events for Foreign Issues 
    • Instructional video on how to create your TWO timelines
    • All information on the single timeline needs to fit on one side of an 8.5 in by 11 in page
    • Must be light enough to read when printed out
    • Must include at LEAST 10 events WITH BRIEF DESCRIPTIONS for each
    • You will save as a PDF and put it in the Google folder as name of doc and decade examples: "Timeline Domestic 80s" or "Timeline Foreign 70s"​

3)  2 separate primary source readings that can be used for seminar WITH questions 
      
  • Format them to fit no more than 2 PAGES-cut and paste is ok-as long as it make sense. (Small margins, font 12)
  • needs to cover 2 separate controversial events that occurred from your decade (should be broad topics)
                  *Examples: presidential speech, newspaper article, letter, proclamation, etc.  
  • See Nunn for help on this (she needs to sign off on these)
  • Included with the reading 10 questions that you write for each reading (don't have to answer) that help the reading focus on the main issues of the document 
  • the questions need to be level two and three questions-no level ones! 
                         *Levels of questioning refresher

4) A. Create a Crossword Puzzle that highlights the social, economic and political elements of your decade. 
​
  • 30 identifications/evidence/events 
    • Use the game: Crossword to create
    • wordwall.net     username:nun005653     password: Trinity1  
    • Instructional video on how to use wordwall.net - the video says rank, just choose CROSSWORD instead!​
    • the file should be titled your decade and placed in the Wordwall.net folder for your class period

             
        B. Create a VOCAB set for your decade on QUIZLET

  • 20 identifications/evidence/events (ones that you have NOT used on the Crossword Puzzle) 
    • Create a teacher account on Quizlet.com (see Nunn if you have questions)
    • Create a class set of vocabulary from the vocab list
    • Instructions on how to use Quizlet

*****For BOTH ASSIGNMENTS:
  • The links or shared site MUST be in the Google Drive folder for Nunn to access (paste the link on a Google doc if you need to)




5) Write 3 short answer questions 
                
  • The first question has to include a WRITTEN stimulus (primary or secondary source)
  • The second question has to include a VISUAL stimulus (picture, political cartoon, chart or chart)
  • The third does not need a stimulus, just three parts
  • They need to take the format of a DBQ document from the APUSH test (a, b, and c)
  • These will be submitted on a Google Doc, of your own creation and should cover several different topics (not all three about one event)​


​   Examples of each SAQ's

6) Create a DBQ. Find a collection of 6 different primary source documents from this decade that fit with your group's vision of what you will teach. 
                
  • There should be a variety of different types of docs (social, economic, political/foreign domestic) that might be political cartoons, presidential declarations, letters, pictures, etc. 
  • They need to take the format of a DBQ document from the APUSH test
  • These will be submitted on Google Slides (one doc per slide) with an analysis of HIPP (Historical Context, Intended Audience, Purpose, Point of View) on each slide.
    • Context (what is happening during this time period -big picture)
    • Purpose (why is this person saying what they are saying? What are they trying to accomplish or convince people of?)
    • Audience (who is this doc written for or written to? Why is that significance? 
    • Point of View (why are they saying what they are saying? Is it manipulation? Sarcasm? Sending a message?)
  • You need a PROMPT as well. On the first slide of the Google Slide, write a prompt (look at your docs and write one that make sense to utilize the things you have collected - it can be a Compare/Contrast, Change Over Time, Support/Refute/or Modify, or Evaluate the Extent type of prompt.
