Monday, September 17th (.246)

Today we will begin our official preparation for Exam 1 and spend a bit of time chatting about your first Integrated Assignment. Be prepared to answer some questions about these two major grades, and hopefully you are ready to start pre-gaming.

Let the simultaneous review and drafting begin!

• Reading Quiz #2

• Is happening on Wednesday, September 19th over AEUSH reading 2.1.

• Library Visit

• I will be joining you for Friday's class in the library room LIC 109 to discuss your research for IA #1.

• Make sure to get there a bit early, so you can log in and be ready to work.

​Today

• IA #1

• What do you guys think? Does anyone have an questions, comments, concerns?

• Selecting your primary source...

• What counts as a primary source?

• How can you find these?

• What do you need to consider as you are making this choice?

• Exam 1 Review Dissection

• How much of this information do you already have?

• Any thoughts on how to use this info?

• What additional resources are at your disposal for completing this review?

• Practice Chronologies

• Per Dr. Wooster's syllabus (or Exam 1 Review), what's a chronology?

• How does it work?

• How can you study for this?

• Pregaming

• Gather round and examine the papers in front of you.

• Some of these are subheadings which can be found on the exam review.

• Others are "events" which fall under those subheadings.

• Your job, whether you wish to accept it or not, is to identify which "events" fall under which subheadings and then organize them in, you guessed it, chronological order.

• Note: There are many possible options for the chronologies than I am including here. DO NOT just study these.

Homework

• Do some brainstorming for IA #1. You need to jump straight in to this assignment, or you run the risk of falling behind.

• Remember, your source HAS to fall within our historical range. Think early colonization until 1865.

• For the love of all that is good and/or holy, please find a subject that is interesting to you or else this is going to be a very, very long process.

• Make sure you are reading for RQ #2.
