Fall 25 Honors World History 7-Period 7 Assignments

Only one person needs to submit the Works Cited and leave me a private comment naming your country/region.

Preparation is crucial to podcasting. You don't have to script what you are going to say word for word -- remember, this should be conversational and incorporate interviews. 

You largely want your script to be a guide that keeps you focused and gives you the cues that you need, but allows you the room for personality, creativity, and improvisation. It is a script for podcast though, so include what you need and organize it in a way that works for you. I'll link some sources below.

One member will create the doc and share with all group members. Your group will upload your script/outline. I highly recommend color coding for speakers and remember, if you plagiarize or outsource your thinking by using AI, you will receive a zero for your final grade.

Each group needs just one sheet that everyone in the group will work on. 

One group member should create a blank document, name it your country/region and share with all group members. This person will submit the completed doc and leave me a private comment naming your group members.

Upload a clear PDF of the reading notes for your topic (the Module and lesson you read will depend upon your group's topic). These need to be handwritten, Cornell-style notes with cues and a summary for the entire lesson. 

In your CUES, I should see comments, questions that could help with your podcast.

Listen to at least 20 minutes of a podcast of your choice (truly, listen to the whole episode if you can). Check out one of my favorite podcasts below OR you can use Spotify or Apple podcasts to listen to one of your favorites.  Upload a Screenshot or take a photo for proof of listening and write a few sentences (2-3) in a private comment about the elements of your podcast. 

Consider these elements in your description: 
format (interview, storytelling, etc)
sounds (noises, music, transitions, etc)
pacing
vocal dynamics
ads

Submit a screenshot of your group contract delegating work after you have reviewed the rubric for this assignment.

This must be handwritten and signed/dated by each group member. 
Every group member must submit a clear image of this contract and leave me a private comment naming your region/country.

See the Study Guide for what you should review/know

Complete the pros and cons of each ideology and bring the packet to class

You will attach your HANDWRITTEN and SIGNED assignment here. 

Remember, you need FIVE CONSECUTIVE HOURS so either the weekend OR Veteran's Day is highly recommended (hence the long window to submit).

If you are unable to scan/submit on here, then bring the physical copy to class and leave me a private comment on this assignment.

Respond to this question in a short paragraph (5ish sentences) with your claim, at least two pieces of evidence and your reasoning.

take handwritten bullet point notes (bring these to class). Focus on the causes of the unrest (long and short term causes), how communication is taking place or symbols of the resistance and power dynamics in the country.

You may use Cornell-style notes and include your "cues" aka connections and questions on the side as you watch...
...OR ...
You may take sketch notes and identify important people, ideas, concepts, connections (see instructions below)--think SPICE.

Either way, you will write a 5-sentence summary at the end and upload a clear picture/pdf scan of your handwritten notes on GC.

One person will upload the PDF and leave a private comment naming the group members. The others can just mark it as done.

Type out your rough draft on the attached Google Doc. In a private comment, post your word count number and what type of story you have (ex: Cover, Opinion, Feature). To find your word count, go to "Tools" and "Word Count". It's okay if you are over or under the word count as this is a rough draft and we will get feedback and edit next week. 

ALL WORK MUST BE ORIGINAL--plagiarism or any AI will be given a zero and a referral.


YOU MUST WORK ON THE ATTACHED GOOGLE DOC. Absolutely NO PDFs or other files.

Scan and upload all pages of your handwritten rough draft here. Photo must be clear and legible
