Hey there! Hope you all had a most magnificent holiday. Welcome back!
Today, we are practicing and critiquing our SLCs. Also, we'll be starting one of the coolest ways ever to study history--Structured Academic Controversies. Don't let the name fool you! They're a hoot! I. SLC Practice and Critique -You will work in groups of 4. -You each will need your SLC notecard and your laptop. -As one of you performs your SLC spiel (with the utmost sincerity), two group members act as stand-ins for the parents. That means one of you lucky ones will get to be the sibling. Using the rubric handout, evaluate the speaker's performance once he or she has finished. -Spend 2-3 minutes speaking about each class. -Repeat this process until everyone has rehearsed their SLC. II. Structured Academic Controversy-DRESDEN BOMBING A. You will be put into groups of 4. Each group will have 2 dyads....that's right, dyads. Look it up. B. Sort Documents. -Review Dresden Documents as a group and sort these documents into "Yes" or "No" columns. C. Gather Evidence. -With your partner, gather evidence to support the position you've been assigned. -Use the Outline Sheet to help you do this! -You may use the same source, but you may not use the same exact evidence. D. Make it Spiffy -Use your remaining class time to rehearse your arguments with your partner. -How can you present your information so that its absolutely crystal clear what your point is? -Is your body language confident and open, or is it fearful and closed? These things matter!! There is enough time for you to complete all of the Dresden SAC prep in class today. Please, make the choice to use your time efficiently and professionally. I'd hate for you to have homework on SLC night, after all. Starter 4:
Why do you think different countries have different versions of the same historical event? Write for 7 minutes straight! AGENDA:
