West Africa: Post Classical Age

3/20/2015

Hello Everyone!
In order to clarify some of the reading, research and discussion already done in class. I have prepared for you a narrated slide show and important notes for West African development in the first phase of the Post Classical Age. If you go directly to the Mediterranean Basin page there are 2 links to access. The first is the Google Slide show that you can work your way through at your leisure for Friday's exam. The second link, identified by a url address will take you directly to a Brainshark presentation. Please note: there are two links embedded within both presentation that share short video clips. Period 1 will work on this in class on Monday, and periods 6 and 9 will complete the assignment for homework Monday night.

Hello Everyone!
Today you will continue to explore the four distinct regions of the Mediterranean Basin during the Post Classical Age. This activity is meant to introduce to you to specific themes of development which include: gender, trade and learning. You are to prepare notes as evidence of your work. This research will add to your understanding of the regions and time and specifically support you in your preparation for the class discussion on Wednesday. You may access this assignment on the Mediterranean Basin page. (click here) The document is entitled Exploring Themes in the Mediterranean Basin.
While it is not expected that you will fully complete this assignment in 40 minutes, with focused effort- the vast majority of the work should be complete by the end of the period. :)

This week's homework is a little different than usual. You are expected to read the selections from your textbook listed below and maintain a reading log of important points discovered in the reading. You are encouraged to utilize the headings and subheadings, along with any bold faced terms to help you identify concepts and terms of importance. It is also a good idea to start with the reading that corresponds to your area of research in class, and read about the other regions after. This will help you prepare both your abstract and provide a strong foundation of knowledge for the fishbowl discussion activity on Thursday. You are advised NOT to wait until the night before it is due to complete the reading. If you space out the reading over the course of this week, the weekend and next Monday night it is completely manageable. Here it is...

Region 1st ed 2nd ed
Western Europe 155-162 159-166
Eastern Europe 170-177 175-180
Islamic World 139-153 143-157
West Africa 223-226 227-230
