EXTRAS are items that perhaps came up in a discussion, or because of a current event, but that are not part of a unit's assignment, or a study resource, etc.
9-11 Power point
This is a presentation I've used in class in years past to help students get a basic sense of that day's events.
If you see ways to improve the presentation I would welcome suggestions and emails with content or links.

These three segments show how the morning's events were covered by morning news shows. The first clip show initial reaction to the first plane's impact. The middle clip shows reaction as the second plane hits. And the third clip shows the collapse of both of the towers.

A Philosophy reading about the mind/body problem--not assigned but worth S.T.U.D.-ying.
I first encountered the ideas in this item in the form of a reading in a 'Philosophy 101' class, in college. It stayed with me and has occasionally come up in the course of class discussions. I hope others will find it worth pondering.
COUNTRIES of the WORLD QUIZ--do it for extra credit: if you score 90% or higher, I'll give 4 pts. of E.C.; if 80%, 3 pts.; if 70% 2 pts.; and 60% earns 1 pt.
To earn the E.C., you can show your prowess by taking the quiz in class or sending/bringing a screen shot of your score. You can take the quiz in class after school or during (early) lunch.

A general quiz on history--putting events in order...
In this quiz, you choose which event was before the others, working your way through a set of 15 events. It favors U.S. history, but isn't only about U.S. history.
I'm not sure how they calculate the scores, though, as I tried to get different results by getting up to 6 wrong choices, and that was still a score of 93%. And no matter the score, 6 or 2 or 1 of no wrong answers, you're a 'history buff'. Let me know if you find answers or different results, but it's still a fun little item. http://www.medievalists.net/2015/03/07/historical-events-happened-first/ |
