A Story in Photographs
[Copied from Monday]
This analysis of photos is taken from the National Archives.
You will be working in tables for this. One person from each table needs to go to this Google Doc, make a copy, and share it with your group members and me ([email protected]).
Go through the slides. There are 13 images that you will need to analyze. Here is where it would be a good idea to partner off within your group. You have much better quality answers if you physically discuss the images with someone else rather than just answering the questions. If you need more information about a photograph, you can always try to do the image search in Google to find it. I have given you as much information as I have.
After you have analyzed the photographs, then you will curate a museum exhibit. When you go to a museum, the exhibits do more than give facts, they tell a story through the strategic ordering of artifacts. When you curate your exhibit:
All of this is to be done in the Google Doc. When finished, download the doc as a PDF and submit on Schoology.

Class ends at 11:30
It is my expectation that you are in this classroom from 10:05 to 11:30. There is the problem of students leaving class early. This is obvious. Therefore, until the end of the year, there is a quiz grade titled: End of Class -- 11:30. I expect you to remain in my classroom without me blocking the door until 11:30. If you choose not to meet with that expectation, then it is ten points off per day. You have the option for a free 100 for a quiz grade, or a zero.
