Modern World History

Mattie:

This week students are writing a 1-2 page essay on their Columbian Exchange item (what was it used for? did it go from the Old World to the Americas, or vice-versa? what impact did it have in the area to which it was taken?) and completing their web page on their item. Your item is vanilla. If you decide you don't like this or can't find much on this, you can switch to potato - it's entirely up to you. To gain access to the website you must accept the invitation I e-mailed to you. It appears as though you must also have a gmail account. If you have any difficulty with this, e-mail me and kawelsh@spsfg.org and let me know what tech problems you are experiencing and we will try to help. Hopefully, you will present (i.e. show and talk about) your webpage in class this Friday.

Hope you are doing ok. We miss you!

Yesterday we had a quest on Chapter 20. I will e-mail it to you so you can do it at home on the honor system. It is a quest, not a test, because it contains no essay question. However, a five paragraph essay was due yesterday, although I have given to whomever needs it an extension to Friday to get the essay in to me. The three topics from which to choose for your essay are posted on a sheet on Moodle. The new homework assignments for Chapter 21 are also up on Moodle.

Hang in there Mattie! We are all pulling for you and hope you feel better soon!

Yesterday we had a quest on Chapter 21. I will e-mail the quest to you today so you can do it when you are able.

We miss you!
