We were in the city of Dunhuang and students needed to have completed Document B questions from yesterday. Today they wrote out their journal entry about what they have learned in Dunhuang and what they will expect in the future.
We also analyzed document C about the Taklimakan Desert. Students need to have document C answers completed too.
Here is the packet and the documents we have been working on:
No homework. Any absent students need to have journal entry #2 completed and document C questions answered.
Thank you, have a good weekend!
The last few days in class students have been learning about the Silk Road, a vast network of trade routes that spanned from the Roman empire in Europe to the Han Empire in China.
We have been doing something a little different, which we haven’t done before. We haven’t been using the textbook so much the last few days because we are doing something called a DBQ (document based questions). Here is their packet (which each have been given) for the dbq:
Students were to create a profile of someone who would be traveling over a year on the silk road. They chose a name, age, job, etc. As we go through our journey we will analyze documents and record thoughts into a journal. The journals must be written on a loose leaf sheet of paper (5 journal entries total).
Here are the documents we will analyze (we have only done documents A and B so far):
Here are some examples of a profile and journal entries for the DBQ:
SO FAR, students need to have done their profile, background essay questions answered, documents A-B answered, and journal entry #1 written.
Any question please feel free to email me.
Thank you
Today in class we started our chapter on the Silk Road. In this chapter students will take on the role of a traveler on the silk road and record their journey along the way.
If any student was absent they just need to read sections 1-2 in chapter 24.
No homework
Thank you
Chapter 24 illustrated dictionaries were due today. They can still be turned in next week (grade for 5th card marking)

Happy Saint Patrick’s Day!
