Mrs. Liberty & Mrs. B-W Social Studies 10/10 - 10/14

This week in Social Studies we are starting off with an assignment that is worth 50 points. The students have read and discussed The Inca People and The Sapa Inca in class. They need to pick one of those 2 sections to create an illustrated graphic organizer of the information from their section. They will need to include the following elements:
  • Title
  • 6 sections (Introduction and the 5 more headings from the book)
  • 3 main facts from each section (18 total)
  • Graded on Spelling, capitalization, and using periods
  • Graded on neatness and effort
I am initially planning the due date for this assignment on Wednesday, October 12th at the end of the period. I may extend it if it looks like the students need more time.

After we finish the graphic organizer we will talk more about the Allyu. The students will be put in groups and need to create their own Allyu with an appropriate symbol and creation myth. For the myth we will ant them to think about the elements that were included in "The Rod of Gold" that they read in Reading with Mrs. Villistrigo.

UPDATE: The graphic organizer will be due on Thursday at the end of class.
