Warm Up

Congratulations! You survived your first History exam. Take a few minutes to use writing to reflect on the experience. Some questions to consider:

How did you prepare for the first history exam? How were your strategies similar or different than those you've used in the past?

Connect your preparation for the history exam to a Threshold Concept. Connect your preparation to one of the Frameworks for Information Literacy. How did you utilize Habits of Mind to prepare?

Registering to Vote

Welcome to adulthood! The 2018 midterm elections are coming up in November, and for some of you, this may be your first opportunity to vote in an election. If you have not already registered to vote, the deadline to do so for the upcoming election is October 9, 2018. 

​

If you have already registered to vote, but registered using your parents address, unless you will be traveling back to your home county to vote, you should re-register to your address in Corpus Christi. You cannot vote at a Nueces County polling location if you are not registered to vote in Nueces County.

​

The Texas Secretary of State website contains links for checking your voter registration as well as requesting a form to mail in to register or change your address.

Integrated Assignment 1: Writing to Shape History

Do you have a primary source document? If not, why not?

Ideas to consider...

​

Some questions to consider while working on IA1 or peer-reviewing with a classmate:

-Have you provided the historical context surrounding the issue your primary source document chronicles?

-Why should we care about this primary source document? Why should future students be exposed to this document?

-Have you (or your classmate) offered compelling evidence for why this document is important?

​

​

Homework

Revisit Threshold Concept 2.0, read 2.1

Revisit "Information has Value" and "Research as Inquiry" from the Frameworks for Information Literacy

 

Looking Ahead:
