We moved exam 1 to Monday since Jaydn couldn't study much this past week because of illness. Instead, we learned about the wave nature and particle nature of light.
An Introduction to Nationalism: A Force for Disunity in the late 1800/early 1900s
Lesson Outline
During the 1800s, in the wake of the Industrial Revolution, nationalism fueled efforts to build nation-states. Nationalists were not loyal to kings, but to the people within a geographically defined area. These were often large populations of people who shared a common bond. It sounds good...so how can nationalism sometimes go wrong??? Jaydn offered a very insightful, impassioned example of nationalism gone wrong on January 6, 2021. This can be a complicatied issue because nationalism can be GOOD and BAD. By the mid-19th century nationalists believed that people of a single "nationality" or ancestry, should unite under a single government. However, people who wanted to restore the "old order" from before the French Revolution saw nationalism as a form of disunity. Discussing the bonds that create a nation-state followed by examples of positive and negative characteristics of nationalism are an introduction to Jaydn's weekend reading about the growth of nationalism in a weakening Austro-Hungarian, Russian and Ottoman Empires. Jaydn will also read about Italian and German unification in the second half of the 19th century. It's wonderful that Jaydn now has her textbook at home!
ABSENT - Today's lesson plan was moved to tomorrow. Jaydn's World History text book has been left at the front desk for her. Hopefully, her mom may pick it up soon or Andrew may bring it home for Jaydn.
Assignment
Lesson on the Industrial Revolution and review questions were emailed to Jaydn again. Assignment is due tomorrow.
The plan was to introduce the geometric concept of angles as the union of two rays with the same endpoint. I would then describe how interior and exterior angles are shown in diagrams. Lastly, I was going to explain how a circle is broken up into degrees. Unfortunately, Jaydn was not in attendence so I was not able to present the lesson. There was no assignment.
