Last Samurai film assignment

Student Learning Objective- Students will compare and contrast traditional and modern Japan.

After the completion of the film, the class will have a film discussion.  After the film discussion, even if it is that day in class, I will collect the assignment.  The assignment is very simple.  Record facts and quotes from the film.  Facts should be things that happen that indicate real factors in Japan or the world (geographic social, economic, political, historic, etc.).  Quotes that we record are spoken words that are so insightful that indicate facts, but are so interesting or powerful that we do not paraphrase.  When recording quotes, also write what it means or why it's important!  Here is how I would do it.

South Asia, Southeast Asia and/or East Asia pilgrimage presentations

Class time to work on the Summative grade Wednesday, June 2 after the East Asia Test

Mr. Cook will go over the directions Thursday, June 3 in class and then students will have the rest of the block and the entire block Friday, June 4 to work on it.

This assignment is due on google classroom Monday, June 7.  That will give Mr. Cook time for feedback given to students before student presentations.  Student presentations will be Friday, June 11 and Monday, June 14 with a makeup day of Tuesday, June 15.  The slideshow will be graded based upon the following directions.  The presentation will be graded based on the provided rubric.

Student learning objective- Students will develop an understanding of what a religious or philosophical pilgrimage is like and how important it is to Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists, Taoists, or another regionally appropriate religious or philosophical group by planning one!

This assignment is aligned with World Regions 11 Essential Question #2 Explain how religion, philosophy, or ideology has affected South Asia, Southeast Asia and/or East Asia
This is something many people in these regions and around the world do until this day!

Directions: Students are required to create a google slides presentation which this time will be a religious  or philosophical pilgrimage.  Students may choose to do additional slides to show where they would travel for pleasure!

Every student must have the following slides

-title slide

-5 slides of where they would travel if they completed a Hindu, Sikh, Buddhist, Taoist (or another regionally appropriate religious or philosophical group) pilgrimage.  Each site MUST have a picture.  Each slide must say in your own words why you would go there if that was your faith.  Keep the wording minimal.
-Optional slides to show places you would visit

It is not hard to find online where people going on their pilgrimages, but please email me if you need help as always!   Remember, you do not need a lot of words on each slide and you need to put the sources used at the bottom (small font) on each slide.  As always, plagiarism results in a score of zero!  Put in your own words!
