"ISM" that Interesting?!?!








Hi Guys!

This week's Blog Assignment is a continuation of what we have done in class so far this week and what we will be finishing during our next class period.


You will need to access the "World History Assignments" link on the upper right hand corner of the main blog page.  Once you access the "Assignments" page, you will need to scroll down to the entry for "ISM's"...Here you will find a link to the chart that we started in class, as well as a Powerpoint for reference.  In class, you were given a blank copy of the chart and asked to work with a partner to fill in as much as you could based on what we have discussed and what you already know, or think you know!  Using the Powerpoint and the online access to the textbook, I want you to complete the rest of the chart.  You will need to have the completed chart ready for the beginning of our next class period...WE WILL BE USING THIS CHART FOR A GROUP ACTIVITY!!!  Remember that each of these blog assignments adds up to a major grade at the end of the six weeks! (One more note...the chart gives page numbers to help you find answers...these page numbers are accurate for the actual textbook, but not the online textbook...You will find help in Unit 7 of the online version of the textbook!)

Good Luck!
Mrs. Russell :)
