Here are the Do Nows for Tuesday (8/24) or Wednesday (8/25) for your reference:
**General guidelines for the Do Nows:**
When you walk into the classroom, you will find a “Do Now” posted on the ActivBoard. Please get to work on this right away, without being asked. After the bell rings, everyone should be working on the Do Now. We will move on to the next activity about five minutes into the class period.
Create a “Do Now” section of your course binder and bring your completed “Do Nows” to class every day; I may collect them at any time (usually once every 7-10 school days).
General length guidelines: Enriched World History students' responses should be, on
average, around 5-7 sentences. Honors World History students' responses should be, on average, around 7-10 sentences. Some days you may want to write more, and some days you may want to write less.
**Tuesday, 8/24:**
By the time class starts, get started silently working on the following:
-Take out a blank sheet of lined paper.
-Write your name in the upper right-hand corner.
-Write the date on the first line (8/24/10).
-Skip one line.
-Beginning on the third line, answer one or both of the following questions in one paragraph (generally between 5-7 sentences):
Why do you think it might be valuable to learn about the human past?
How might the study of history help prepare you for college?
**Wednesday, 8/25:**
1. Turn homework (parent/guardian contact info. + reading notes on “Why Learn World History”) into the tray. I will collect one minute after the start of class.
2. DO NOW – skip a line after yesterday’s “Do Now,” draw a horizontal separator line, write the date, skip another line, and then answer the following prompt:
“What methods and tools do you think scholars might use to learn about events that happened…
…10 years ago?
…50 years ago?
…200 years ago?
…in prehistoric times (before the invention of writing)?”
