Social Studies Meets Information Technology

Today in class you discussed one of the Group Forum Questions about The United Nations and Reform.  Think about the ideas your group discussed and post the answer to the question in paragraph form on your blog.  You also need to bring a hard copy of your answer to the next class since we will be sharing our ideas and discussing the questions as a whole class.

Keep in mind that I will be looking at the structure as well as content of your paragraph. Your paragraph should have the following for a perfect score.

Strong, topic sentence explains points to be discussed.

Clear main idea(s) provides reasons, details, or facts with transitions.

Specific supporting sentences explain main idea(s) with examples and evidence.

Strong, clear concluding sentence provides clear link and closure to topic.

Reflect on the process of creating your Ancient Africa Wiki:

Make sure to write a full paragraph describing your feelings in response to each of the following questions. Make sure to spell check, grammar check, read out loud, and format with paragraph spacing before you click publish.

Please post the question first and then your answer for each of the following questions.

1. What did you learn from this task?
2. Did you find this difficult or easy? Why?
3. What would you change about the process you went through to complete the wiki if you were to do the assignment again?

Think about class today and reflect on the presentations you listened to. Explain with details and specific information what you learned and what you found interesting or surprising about the presentations you heard in class. If you need to refresh your memory, you can look at some of your classmates’ blogs to review information about the different nations.
