OLDPER. E 7TH GRADE S.S. Assignments

Civil Rights was a big issue in the late 1960s. It is clear it is again today. Listen to this song. If you want to share some thoughts please do so. This is NOT a graded assignment, but one that is extremely relevant and important today. Take a moment and reflect on the events of the past, as described in the song, to the events of today. It always helps to share thoughts and opinions with trusted friends during troubling times.

Watch and answer questions

I have turned on "originality reports" which will help you avoid plagiarism. Please read the instructions attached carefully. This is a long assignment with an extended due date. Because we will not be meeting next week, [we are taking the Philly trip], please read over the material and ASK ME if you are confused. I am giving it before the holiday only to be started if you want to, keeping in mind there is much to be done. DO NOT LEAVE IT TILL THE LAST DAY TO DO IT. Do a little at a time, TIME MANAGEMENT is important. We will discuss your insights when we meet again 6/3

remember graded on participation, not correctness of answer

Just a quick reflection about what you see/learn about it.

Read the informatiob then make sure you look at the chart of battles and follow the assignment instructions, I have included an attachment for the battles alone so you can make a copy of just that to keep track of the assignment.
Here is the work to be done..
There are 11 battles to study and then create a Google slides show!
Bullets [no pun intended] will be fine.
Who will be first to ask… “How many Mr. Olman?”
Answer: as always..
AS MANY AS IT TAKES TO DO A GREAT JOB WITH YOUR
HONEST BEST EFFORT!

Read the statistics and advantages, the railroads, and the worst battles attachments. Please list, [DO NOT USE GOOGLE SLIDES] The advantages that the North had going into and during the Civil War, numbered in the order of importance, in YOUR opinion. In other words, the biggest advantage first #1, the the next#2 and next etc. Make that list as complete as you can. Then take the first two and the last two, and in a short paragraph for each, explain your reasoning.

Watch this video and write bullets, NO SLIDES, about what you learned. YOU MUST click on the word open to be able to see it. You also might click on the three dots on the upper right corner and choose open in a new window. You must use your Memorial School account. If all else fails, try using your phone. Also try to answer the form

This will be a grade. You should be able to answer right on the question sheet and submit that as attached..if you can't create your own form and submit...if you are having trouble with the ..What You Need to Know" try this..https://tinyurl.com/yc6gqvv3 If you are having trouble typing on the doc that was given. All you have to do is go to the three dots in top right corner, click on it and "open an new window". Then you click on "Open with" in center of screen and open it with Google docs. Then when you are done you just upload the Google doc to the assignment. Also use the link in the doc to get to the interactive."

There were three more events that made the war inevitable [look that word up if you don't understand it]. I have given you a document that both lists the three events and gives a short explanation about them. The assignment, which is both in the document and listed here, is to justify both sides of the conflict based somewhat on the parts of the historical documents I laid out for you but also on your understanding of the areas of social studies. Please make sure you use the five areas of social studies, in varying degrees because some may be more important, in your opinion, than others [ hint: economics, sociology, geography, civics and history all play a part ]. This will require a real dive into thinking about WHY.. this war had to happen..Although I am setting a due date for Thursday 4/9, because this is a paper that I hope you will work hard on, I will accept papers after the due date into Spring Break if you feel it is necessary for you to do a great job.
