The following readings and links may be used to complete assignments that you have missed thus far during the 2nd nine weeks:
Race and Conflict Theory CW
Read this (http://labornotes.org/node/1977) article and write three paragraphs about whether or not you think the bourgeoisie use race to keep Black and White workers from coming together.
Enlightenment Picture CW
Draw a picture about any person, idea, or innovation of the Enlightenment you think. Examples can be taken from Diderot’s Encycolpedie, Mozart’s piano-playing and symphonies, or Adam Smith’s concept of division of labor.
Do Now 4
Complete the Do Nows from 10/3 through 10/13. You can find them by clicking on the “Do Nows” link under categories on the right side of this page.
Enlightenment Impact HW
Write two paragraphs about which theme of the Enlightenment (love, happiness, hope, or tolerance) you feel is most important and why.
Election Chart HW
Using information such as this from CNN (http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2008/results/president/) make a chart showing the percentage of votes that McCain, Obama, and independent candidates gained in each of eight states in the south (Mississippi, Alabama, Arkansas, Texas, Louisiana, Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina). To get the percentage of independent votes in each state add up the percentage of votes received by Obama and by McCain and then subtract that number from 100. For instance, in Florida Obama received 51% of votes and McCain received 48% of votes. Together this equals 99% of votes so 1% was left over for independent voters.
Industrial Revolution Flashcards HW
Students were instructed to create flashcards about the different inventors and inventions of the Industrial Revolution (such as Richard Arkwright, William Murdoch, and Sir Humphry Davy and their inventions).
Feel free to email me any of these assignments at amutah@gmail.com or turn them in when we return to school next Monday, December 1.
