FORMAT FOR SECOND THOUGHTS, BIG PICTURE QUESTIONS and DOCUMENT READINGS.

HOMEWORK EXPECTATIONS + FORMATS Big Picture: TO EARN A PERFECT SCORE ON EACH BIG PICTURE QUESTION, YOU MUST: CLAIM: restate the question + provide a complete answer to the question; EVIDENCE: provide evidence—evidence is brief and specific. CONCLUSION: provide a conclusion that is both analytical and summative. STYLE: Example—you should outline your response in the following fashion: Q.What is the significance of the Paleolithic era in world history? CLAIM: During the Paleolithic era, humans created a way of life that has sustained humankind over 95% of the time that our species has inhabited the earth. In fact, the Paleolithic lifestyle was not challenged by alternatives until 10,000 to 12,000 years ago. EVIDENCE: E1—Paleolithic people initiated technologies--hand axe, Clovis point. E2—Paleolithic people were spiritual—Venus figurines, Paleolithic rock art. E3—Paleolithic people adapted to their environment– “settling down” and migrations from Africa. CONCLUSION: Humans emerged in Africa 250,000 years ago and stayed there exclusively for 100,000 years. Archeological evidence reveals that they initiated the use of tool making by flinting stones, using bones and animal skins (hand axe, Clovis point, bows and arrows) for survival. Many were spiritual and buried their dead, built religious figurines (Venus Figurine) and drew art that may reflect spirituality (Paleolithic Rock Art). Many practiced an egalitarian lifestyle and lived in collaboration (Captain Cook’s encounter with Aboriginals of Australia, Strayer p. 21). After the last Ice Age ended many Paleolithic people inspired a great transition and movement throughout the globe (Strayer pp ). While some, such as the Jomon of Japan, learned to live in settlements; others traveled across land bridges to new lands. They are significant because for the first 200,000 years of human life, they endured!

Second Thoughts: (a): DEFINITION: Always write the term you are to define, and then provide a coherent definition of that term. If you copy the definition from the text or from another source indicate such with quotes followed by the name and the page of the source. Example: “Sub-Sahara Africa is normally divided into two ecological zones: the savanna grasslands….and the forest areas farther south..” (Strayer, p. 349) (b): SIGNIFICANCE: In your own words, explain why the term is historically, politically and/or socially significant. (c): EVIDENCE: Provide evidence either from the text or from another reliable source to support your position in “b” (significance). STYLE: You are to outline your answer. Here is an example of a perfect score: Dream Time: (a)definition—a complex worldview that humans live in a “vibration, an echo… of ancestral happenings…” linking the people of the present with their ancestors of the past. (Strayer, p. 17); (b)Significance —It is significant because it is a window into the spirituality of ancient people. It gives us an insight into ancient societies. (c) Evidence—this was and is a worldview held by Australia’s Aboriginal people.

REMEMBER WHEN READING THE VISUAL AND READING DOCUMENTS WHICH ARE AT THE END OF EACH CHAPTER: 1 ST ALWAYS OUTLINE THE INTRODUCTION. The introduction is the background information that the author provides to the reader prior to each picture or document. The text book’s introductions tend to run about ½ to 1 full page in length. (IT IS IMPORTANT TO READ AND OUTLINE EACH INTRODUCTION BECAUSE THE INTRODUCTION INFORMS THE STUDENT ABOUT THE DOCUMENT’S SETTING AND RELEVANT HISTORY. BE INFORMED!) 2 ND ANSWER ANY ASSIGNED QUESTIONS REGARDING THE DOCUMENTS (VISUAL AND WRITTEN DOCUMENTS). Answer the question as follows: (a) Visual and Written Document questions ask students to answer a “what” or “why” question. Provide your answer (what, why or your opinion); (b) Provide evidence to back your claim. HOW TO ANSWER VISUAL AND/OR DOCUMENT- BASED QUESTIONS.
