Hello ladies and gentlemen,
Today in class we will begin our look at Imperialism, which will be our primary theme throughout the rest of the semester. To get started today access the file below and read it with your 2 o'clock partner.
Skimming and Scanning
Follow the directions on the PPT and answer the questions regarding skimming and scanning a text document.
After we discuss the idea of skimming and scanning documents, we will begin reading the prologue of Guns, Germs, and Steel. To access the prologue open the document below.
Guns, Germs, and Steel Prologue
We will be reading and annotating the first two pages of this document together as a class and then we will be watching the first episode of its corresponding documentary.
Your homework tonight is to skim and read the rest of the document by next Wednesday.
Don't forget that our Europe Map Test is on Monday! We will be doing a practice map activity for Friday's rally schedule.
I hope that you are all doing well ladies and gentlemen!
Live long and prosper,
Mr. Marchetti
