After Spring Break we will go to only making assignments for our classes on Monday through Thursday. Friday will be a day off for students. Enjoy! BC

Ou next topic is the Powers listed in the Constitution. The notes are here in Sway. Looking ahead, tomorrow we will do the amendments, then Thursday will be a review day, and Friday will be test day on the Constitution. https://sway.office.com/NarEirr9owHajDve?ref=Link Quizizz code for Powers: 688808 Prohibited powers and further review: 638787

Tomorrow we will do our test on basically, in brief, the Age of Exploration. We started out studying the Native Americans, then moved on to exploration and its effects called the Colombian Exchange. Our final study was the Enlightenment. To prepare for the test review all your notes on these topics (look at previous posts.) Then practice all the quizizz on this unit. Yesterday's post lists them all.

Putting all the quizizz on this blog for ease of access. Olmecs and Mayans: 228725 Aztecs and Incas: 663243 Age of Exploration: 939689 Colombian Exchange: 664182 Enlightenment: 480516

Today we study the Enlightenment, which was also known as the Age of Reason. It especially effected how the world thought about government. The US is referred to as an Enlightenment country because our founders sat down in a convention and used reason and thoughtful deliberation to devise a plan of government. The US Constitution has stood the test of time and is the longest lasting democratic document in world history thanks to Enlightenment thinkers like John Locke and Montesquieu. Enlightenment notes and quiz follow: https://sway.office.com/PXRJbXJjxTK9I53m?ref=Link Enlightenment quiz: 836598

Today we study Principles of government found in the Constitution. Notes on sway and quiz on Quizizz are below: Principles of the Constitution notes: https://sway.office.com/FkmaGREDJst01PbD?ref=Link Principles quiz: 679269

Why is Zheng He   not   considered such a great explorer in world history? check all that apply answer choices China's Emperor stopped his expeditions His ships were 400 feet compared to Columbus' 85 he made no great discoveries that changed the world he made no land claims

On Monday we will finish this unit on Native Americans, Exploration, Colombian Exchange and Enlightenment with our notes on the Enlightenment. On Tuesday we will review and Wednesday do a big quiz. I have given extra time for the Quizizz, so you have time to do them and review them. BC

27 guys have taken the test with an 80 average, not bad! I sent an email to your parents with results. Have a great day...

Government test results were OK. 37 guys and gals have taken it with a 72 average. I have emailed results to parents. BC

We start our study on the US Constitution today. It is the longest lasting, without major change, democratic document in world history. It was formed through the deep deliberation of our leaders as they thought and chose the best way to organize our government. We will break our study up into small parts beginning today with an overview and the Preamble. Notes and quiz follow below: Notes on an overview/guide to the Constitution and the Preamble: Guide: https://sway.office.com/a2YFt0uk2mocmdWO?ref=Link Preamble: https://sway.office.com/MfuEhR8st8ZL3NSs?ref=Link Quiz code: 045194

Follow up to test, as of last night only 20 of 35 people have taken it. The class average at this point is a 60. So we need to do better... For those who have not taken it, I left it open for a little extra time. Our next unit will be what the Renaissance caused: The Age of Exploration. It is my opinion that this period is the greatest time of change in all world history. (Our current age rivals it...) To set the stage we will begin with the Native Americans. Our last section of study in this unit will be the Age of Enlightenment, which grows directly out of Renaissance thought. Today's assignment is on two Native American civilizations: Olmecs and Mayans. Here are today's notes: https://sway.office.com/41pW0B3elKznRy5f?ref=Link Here is today's quizizz: 358521

Good morning, guys. For today, I encourage 3 things before our test: (By the way, my World History class has been doing well in the classroom. Yesterday, on what I thought was an easy test, they had a 60 average. Most tests have been in the 80's.) So I encourage preparation. Review all your notes. (See my post with all notes...) Practice quizizz. The test practice post from yesterday has several related quizzes. You can use any quiz that they have from others, as well... Join my zoom meeting to ask questions and get help. I will start it at 9:30. I will wait to post the official test until 10:30 so you have time to prepare. I will post it as "Government Unit 1 test."

Good morning guys! Today is Renaissance and Reformation test day. It is our first online Test on Quizizz. Unlike the previous practice and study quizizz, on the "test" you will only have 1 attempt, no "Redemption" questions, and each question will have a 20- second time limit. I will not post this test until 11:00 today, and will post it as "World History Test on Renaissance and Reformation 3-23." You will have 24 hours to take the test (with flexibility for those with Internet issues...) If you have questions or need help, email me at barry.cox@cobbk12.org or join my zoom meeting at 10:00 AM to ask questions. Before I launch the test I will post more review games below that are optional. These are quizzes I did not create from our notes, so in prep for the test I would review all my notes and find quizzez posted with each set of notes. By the way, Quizizz gives me a record of every student's activity. From this record I will give your particip

As you all know, we use Mr. Dean's notes for Government. The basic notes are good, but need some elaboration that I usually do in class discussion. So I will add and clarify some key points that will be included on the test Tuesday below. Conflict at Constitutional Convention 2 opposing views: Large states v. Small states The ideas of both were presented in two written "plans": The Virginia Plan was the large states plan written by James Madison. He arrived with it already written. Madison had been the main person pushing hard to get rid of the Articles and devise a stronger national government.  The Virginia plan wanted to have representation based entirely on population of the state. VA was the largest state and would have the most power, but also Madison saw this as "We the People." The people should have the most power not the states. The New Jersey Plan was the small states plan. The small states fought hard to have all representation be equal fo

Hey, we will do a big Quizizz Monday as a Summative Assessment on the Renaissance and Reformation. To help in reviewing today I am working a review Quizizz, I will publish it on another post shortly.

Quizizz: 181568

Hey guys, We have finished all our notes on the Renaissance and Reformation. So Monday we will have a test on Quizizz. To prepare I suggest 2 things: 1- Review all the Sway notes. I will post links to them all on this post below. 2- Go to quizizz and practice lots of quizzes on the Renaissance and Reformation. Here are the links to all the notes.

Quizizz on Articles, game code: 690966

Hey guys, review the notes for 3-19 and focus on the Articles of Confederation. A Quizizz will follow on a separate post soon. We are nearing the end of unit one. We can't give numeric grades so my thought is to do a big Quizizz as our "test." I am still thinking on it. I will confirm later. Some of you are not seeing detail very well and thinking clearly. I will try to make each title of each post address your course. Please think enough as you are doing assignments that you are not doing something for my other class. In other words, Government do not do World History stuff and visa-versa. (It seems so ridiculous to have to say that...HeHeHe!!!)

Hey guys, been trying to follow up on Quizizz, lost track of time... Here is your zoom invite for Thursday.

Hi guys, The District has mandated no numeric grades. So what we are doing is going into the comment section and noting yes or no to the assignments. We will follow up in an appropriate way with grades later. Regarding Quizizz, I joined as a student and went to the top of the class, smoked y'all...  Join our class for Quizizz by simply putting in your parent's email. Then join today's game by putting in the code for today from my blog post.

Please join Quizizz and then do the quiz on Founding Influences on American Government. After joining, use this code: 712819

Hey Guys, From the quizzes it seems we are not clearly understanding some important points: Naturalization is the process by which an alien/immigrant becomes a citizen. To be eligible for citizenship an immigrant must live in the US for 5 years unless married to a citizen then it is 3 yrs. Reason being that the American spouse can teach the immigrant and help them. The most prevalent way citizens participate is voting. A social contract is an agreement among people to set up government. Like our Constitution was set up at the Constitutional convention meeting and the 1st 3 words are "We the People." We do direct democracy   through recalls, referendums and initiatives. The purpose of the Selective Service System is to conduct a military draft if needed. 

Hey Government students, the ideology surveys are not for a grade so don't send them back to be. My objective is for you to understand conservative/liberal ideas and see where you stand.
