PBH Due 11.19.13

Hello All,

Please do the following:

421 Only:

Lesson 7: Read your assigned section of the article "The Vietnam Wars" in the yellow workbook and complete the graphic organizer of the section you read. Don't forget to mark up the text as you read your section!

Tables 1-3: Read Section 2 "Everything Tends to Ruin" and complete the graphic organizer labeled section 2 in your workbook.

Tables 7-8: Read Section 4 "The Fall of the French" and complete the graphic organizer labeled section 4 in your workbook.

419 Only:

Go to the library and find a biography, a book written about someone's life, to read. Please remember that although I have postponed your introductory paragraph to a later date to be announced, you are still responsible for reading a biography about this person since website information is not reliable. I can tell if the information you use does not answer the question completely. The focus question remains the same: How did this person achieve success in life? Therefore, as you read look for evidence that supports this question. 

Both Classes:
Using 12 font, Times New Roman, double space, college block style heading and last name page numbering, complete the essay assignment questions below:

 

Write two complete paragraphs (5 complete sentences each!!) explaining why it is important to study history.  How can it affect our lives today?  Make a personal connection between the novel Inside Out and Back Again and the two articles we’ve read in class thus far (“Children of the Vietnam War” and “The Vietnam Wars”).  Discuss some of the things you have learned from these texts that help you to understand the significance of studying history and the connection of history to your personal lives. From the article, provide three pieces of evidence and an explanation of the evidence. The "Children of the Vietnam War" can be found online by clicking the following link: http://www.smithsonianmag.com/people-places/Children-of-the-Dust.html. You will need your yellow workbook for the second article.
