I have updated the week fifteen assignment description to include the study terms for the upcoming test in Tom's class. Remember, by this coming Tuesday, 7 December, you should have worked with your group to write up your portion of a study guide for the test based on these terms. This means you should have posted to your blog a blog post containing a paragraph for each of the terms assigned to you, each paragraph should say:
1) Who the person was or What the term is. [3 points]
2) When was the term important or when the person lived. You need not provide exact dates: but it should be within half a century. [ 1 point]
3) Where the term or person was. [1 point]
4) Why is the term or person historically important? Describe their context and influence. [5 points]
At this point, that is, as you study, it is better to have a richer paragraph with more detail to study. Remember, the Why question is the most important (5 points). It needs to explain the person's or term's connections to other important events and personages in history and its effects on other events and people.
