Dear class,
We started really looking in depth at the Russian Revolution today in class. It is one of the more important events in Modern World History! Here's what happened in class:
Learning Targets:
Critical Thinking LT 1: I can explain multiple perspectives and viewpoints.
Knowledge LT 19: I can explain the impacts of nationalism and revolutionary movements.
Soundtrack: "Rasputin" by Boney M. Selected due to a fantastic student suggestion on the blog. What a song! Lots of great Russian Revolution references in the lyrics here.

News Brief: The news brief article for today was brought in by Ido, who selected an article about this story: BBC.com - Nepal plane crash: 49 dead as plane veers off Kathmandu runway. We found Nepal n the world map packet, and talked about this story for a bit before moving on to talk about what we were up to outside of class.
Claire, you are up for next class.
We also watched the one minute BBC World News update. Here's the link to see the latest one minute update, at any time of day (it will probably be different from what we watched in class):
Posters/World War I Grades: After the news, I asked if there were any more "Togetherness" posters that students had to put up on the walls around the room. It looks so great now!Claire, you are up for next class.

BBCNews.com - One-minute World News
We also watched Wildcat News, which is available to watch here, if you are interested or missed class:
I also passed back the graded World War I essays and any Collection of Evidence work that was turned in. I really appreciate all of your work! Grades have been posted in StudentVUE for this assignment and are noted in the rubric section of your paper online. In general, I tried to highlight your thesis statement if I could find one. That, along with the use of the essay format we were using for this test and correct spelling/grammar is the Communication target. The impacts of Nationalism and Revolutions target was mostly about how you address the impact of the Russian Revolution (a required term). The Critical Thinking target grade is related to your use of analysis and commentary, as well as your introductions and conclusions.
Since this was a timed write in class, you cannot make it up or revise it. However, your World War I Collection of Evidence is graded on the same three learning targets, so that is an opportunity to improve your grade if needed. We will have more assignments this semester for each of the learning targets, as well. Thank you for your hard work on this!
Your assignment was to take the paper I handed out in class and go through two of the four documents on each side of the room to assess them. If you missed class, or needed to complete this outside of class, here are the links to both the OPVL sheet and the documents I posted:
Finally, here's another way to understand how to do OPVL analysis using specific types of documents:
Let me know if this assignment is at all unclear. You will be turning this in as part of the Russian Revolution packet later, so please keep it with you!
