Week 3 Remote Learning Plan: The Law of the Sea, The Law of Space

Our asynchronous class calls will be on Monday and Wednesday from 9:40-10:25 via Zoom. You will receive an invitation with a password via your email account.  Zoom #1 will be a full class format to explain directions for the mini-units, followed by work-time toward the project. 

Prior to our calls, you should have completed the SIGN UP SHEET.  

On Monday when your third remote learning week begins, you may find the curriculum materials in our Schoology COURSE entitled "AT Comparative Politics and Global Relations." Go to our course, then go to "Materials," locate either the folder labeled "Mini-Unit Law of the Sea" or the folder labeled "Mini-Unit Law of Space." Read the introductory description to the mini-unit. Then click on the folder itself. Now you should be inside a folder that gives you sequential activities to complete. 

Zoom #2 will be a full class format to answer questions, followed by work-time toward the project.  

Please plan to finish your videos and turn in your completed HOT ASSIGNMENT (i.e., your own unique mind-map) to Schoology by the end of the day on Thursday.  

Your FINAL PRODUCT (i.e., speech) is due to be given verbally Week Four, Zoom #1 (Wednesday, April 22). We will begin at 9:40 am. Speeches will be a minimum of 2 minutes and a maximum of 2 minutes 30 seconds. 

After speeches, we will move into deliberative discussion to discuss our multiple perspectives on moving forward with the issues that arose. We discussed whether this should be a 75 minute Zoom call, and students decided this should be a 45 minute Zoom call (9:40-10:25 am). Make sure to be PROMPT. 

Week 2 Remote Learning Plan: Contemporary Iran

Our asynchronous class calls will be on Monday and Friday from 9:40-10:25 via Zoom. You will receive an invitation with a password via your email account.   Zoom #1 will be a full class discussion of materials provided by Ms. Gerst immediately below; Zoom #2 will involve breakout groups on the individual group topics.

Zoom Call #1 

PREP: Please review the videos and charts sent by Ms. Gerst ahead of the call.   

Deliberative discussion question: How does the electoral system work in Iran? 

Make you sure have watched Ms. Gerst's entire Week 1 VIDEO and the Week 2 VIDEO (try to watch at least 15 minutes to hear 2 opposing views) on the blog linked HERE before class starts at 9:40 am. Please save the below charts to your computer for class.  

Zoom Call #2 

PREP: Please review the projects of the other groups posted on our blog HERE.  And don’t forget to complete the survey I sent you. Only 50% have responded so far. 

Mixed Expert Groupings for Contemporary Iran Discussions  

We agreed to mix up the original working groups, placing one expert from each original group into a new group so that every group has representatives from all of the original groups. Group assignments for break-out groups for next week are sorted by student initials. Next week, we will have one video call in which we breakout into the new groups for these topics  and one video call in which we stay to together to discuss my video topics (i.e., political analysis and role in the region).  I'm pretty sure I can enter the break-out groups as a moderator, rotating from group to group randomly to listen in on the discussion.
