After coming into class and quietly taking your seat, take out your World History Binder and turn to your Hey History! for today.
Topic: United We Stand? On your own, take a minute to list as many factors that might unite a group of people and establish a nation. In your groups, go around in a circle and have each person state one of their factors, but it has to be one that has not been said yet. See who can be the last person to list an original factor.
What factors do you think may have pushed Italy and Germany toward Unification? The French Revolution, a growing sense of nationalism, economic improvements, and the desire to gain power through expansion are only some of the causes of Unification! But how did they do it?
Person A and B, you will get Italy! Person C and D, you will get Germany! Work together to use your textbook for determining the major events in each case that led to the Unification of each nation. Once you have determined your events, place them in a sequence chart placing the events in order Also, for each event, include a statement for how the event helped the nation move toward Unification. After you have finished your nation, work with your table group to create a sequence chart for the other nation
Use the information you have gathered, and work with your table group to record defining facts about each person and event that led to the eventual Unification of each country.
Use what you have learned today to see if there is anything you can add to your Vocabulary Awareness Chart!
