The research (information) you gather from the readings (and the presentation) will be used in creating your final product that requires you to answer the essential question for this topic.
You may find it easier to complete ALL of the reading for this period first or break down the reading 1-2 chapters a week, then address the specific assignments for each topic.

Skills Development
Skills Development
The following section material focuses on developing historical thinking and writing skills. You may be asked to simply review the information; you may be asked to review the information and complete a Google Form to submit completion of the task and to submit questions or concerns regarding the process or the strategy; or you may be asked to practice the skill by submitting an assignment to Google Classroom.
Thesis Statements: Review the page focusing on thesis statements. This is a new format for many if not all of you. You will be required to use this format [X. However, A and B. Therefore, Y.] for all of your APUSH essays. You will be practicing this skill regularly by writing thesis statements for topic reflections, academic conversations, and essays.
Complete the skills development question posted in Google Classroom at the conclusion of this topic. You will be submitting a first attempt at a properly written thesis statement using the formula provided in this class.

Academic Conversation
Academic Conversation
Participating in an Academic Conversation is a highly encouraged practice for this course. In the live setting classroom, we have academic conversations almost daily. Most of the time is focused on collaborating on conducting research to address an essential question. Then, those findings which includes a thesis statement is shared with other colleagues. During times of distance learning, you will be encouraged to reach out to your colleagues and create your own academic conversation groups (like a study group). Although having a regular group of colleagues to conduct Academic Conversations can be comfortable, you are encouraged to engage in conversations with different individuals to reach beyond your comfort zone and meet new people, to explore diverse perspectives, and to develop collaboration skills. Diversity strengthens the conversations and leads to a deeper understanding of the material. If we are using Congregate.live tables, Shared Google Docs, or Zoom breakout rooms, you may be on occasion randomly assigned to a group or allowed to select your own group.
This must be a true collaboration
This must be a true collaboration
You can approach the conversation in a couple of ways:
Conduct individual research in your preferred format (align to your Topic Reflection assignment) and then discuss your findings
As a team using a mutually agreed upon format (align to the Topic Reflection assignment), discuss while conducting research. The Topic Reflection and thesis statement will be a collaboration. Make sure you identify each team members name on the Topic Reflection.
Formats:
Create a mind map. Write the thesis statement on the top or bottom of the page or as the central idea. This format is very popular for scholars using whiteboards (digital or live).
Create an infographic. Write the thesis statement on the top of the page. This format has been used on whiteboards and shared documents.
Create a formal outline. Write the thesis statement on the top of the page or as the header to this section if compiling all notes for this module together. If the file is not setup for collaborators to work on separate pages or sections, this format can lead to frustrating research sessions
Create a graphic organizer. Write the thesis statement on the top of the page. This format is commonly used by scholars using a shared document.
In a group of 2-4 colleagues (absolute maximum is 4), participate in an academic conversation focusing on the following topic/s:
Topic Essential Question
this will result in a collaborative Topic Reflection and thesis statement which is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED early in the term then start to doing your own thesis statement for best practice.
