Task 2 Quick Question: How would our lives be different if we had no contact with anyone outside of Los Angeles? Would we have the same forms of entertainment? Would we have the same traditions? Would we have the same routines? Answer the quick question today using Google Moderator.
Task 3: Close your computer half way and track Mr. Sanders as we talk about the role of women in Japan during the Heian period. If you need to see the text I used later, you can click here.
Step 2: Track Mr. Sanders as he takes you on a virtual tour of Japan using Google Earth. If you need to see the presentation later, you can view it here (physical geography, ancient places).
Step 3: Read about women in Medieval Japan and art during the Heian period with Mr. Sanders. Take notes using the graphic organizer (remember to make a copy of the document and rename it to make it your own).
Step 4: Create an art print representing a geographic feature of the Untied States using the same style that the Japanese did during Medieval Times. Click here if you need to see some examples of Japanese art. For this assignment, you can use paper or download an art app in the Chrome Web Store. 'deviantArt muro' is probably the best App for creating this type of work or are. If you need to see how to save your image and post it to your portfolio, click here.
Step 5: Post your art to your portfolio or turn your artwork in to Mr. Sanders. You can have a few extra days if you want to improve your art piece.
Homework: Complete the reading on 20.6-20.7 (Writing and Literature) and fill out the graphic organizer.
Remember to post your presentation you and your teammates created yesterday to your portfolio blog. Here is the video on how to do that.
Step two: Fill out this e-mail form to help set us up for today's activity. Open your e-mail so you are 100% sure you're entering your e-mail address correctly. Go here when you are ready to get your teammates e-mail address to add for the project.
Step three Quick Question: Analyze the picture here and describe what you think life was like for a peasant (rice farmer) living in Japan during the Middle Ages. Write you statements in today's Google Moderator link. Remember, your ideas must be original, Google will tell you if that idea has already been submitted.
Step four: Make a copy of the graphic organizer and add your name to the document title to make them your notes. Open the presentation on the lord-vassal system and track the presentation as we go over life during feudal Japan.
Step five: Create a new Google Presentation titled 'Social Systems of the Medieval World'. Add three or four of your teammates to your presentation. If you need to see their e-mail address, you can click here. Post the project to you history portfolio.
The Assignment: Create a presentation using Google Presentation on four or more different social or political hierarchies during the Middle Ages. You can present the structure of the Catholic Church, the social classes of the Roman Empire, the social system of the Empire of Ghana, the hierarchy on a feudal Manor, and the social system of Medieval Japan. Your presentation must include accurate information and pictures that help present the information. Remember the social pyramids we created in class when studying these.
Exit Ticket: Before you leave you must post the presentation to your history portfolio.
Reminders: Please delete any extra history portfolios you may have on your Blogger account. You can see a video on how to do it by clicking here.
Aim: The historians of 2016 will create an accurate timeline of medieval Japanese history in Google Draw using shapes, colors, and text.
Step 1: Put your new current event on your desk.
Step 2 Quick Question: Look at the population map of the United States. Why do most people live near the ocean? Please answer the question in the comment section of today’s post.
Step 3: Track Mr. Sanders as he goes over the history of Japan timeline using Prezi. If you want to view it later, you can see it here.
Step 5: Add four important events in Medieval Japanese history to the timeline. You must include an image for two of them. If you want to go above and beyond, you can create a Prezi account and create your timeline there.
Here are a list of sites you can use to find events that fit within the time period. Remember, the events must be relevant to Japanese medieval history and its development. Events not relevant to the development of medieval Japan do not count.
Only place events on your timeline if you can explain their significance during ourtimeline review.
AIM: The historians of 2016 will be able to articulate the consequences of a policy limiting Japan’s contact with foreigners.
