Here is a link to the class syllabus.
Class began with a review of methods for studying vocabulary. (Flash Cards are the most effective strategy.)
Students then had time to review our current vocabulary list: immigration; emigration; migration; opportunity; displacement; geography; oppression; mortality; fertility.
Next Mr. Zartler lectured on an excellent method for studying from a text book:
Titles, headings, sub headings, vocabulary
Images, repeated ideas and concepts
Topic sentences of paragraphs
Check Outcomes
Read summary or Review Questions at end
Review
Reread titles, headings, sub-heads and topic sentences
Try to determine the argument / claim the author is making
Read and Take Notes
Take about one note per heading
note facts that interest or surprise you
note facts or arguments that support the authors claim
take other notes as directed by the instructor
Mr. Zartler then assigned the beginning of Chapter 15 of History Alive! (pages 182-197) to be studied in this way.
During the next class he will give a slide lecture on 3rd wave immigration to the United States and students will begin to work on a 1st person Point of view writing assignment to show what the experience of an immigrant to the US between 1880-1920 would have been like.
