Module 9

Module 9:  20^thCentury challenges.

(July 6-12)

Due:    Module 9, RP & WW Ch 20 (Collapse at Center), Ch 21 (World Communism)

You’re almost done, everyone. Keep up that great energy and know that we will be winding down these last two weeks. 

1) Your Research Project– a combination of the Annotated Bibliography and the Letter, plus a small amount for your Presentation – will be tentatively graded as soon as I have the final draft of your letter. That’s due July 12, but you can send it to me earlier if you are ready. If you haven’t yet sent me a draft of your letter, or are stuck farther back in the project and still haven’t sent me your Annotated Bibliography, please prioritize that as your first work toward this class this week.

2) Presentation of your Research Project will be online. We can do this via a live Zoom meeting if there are enough of you who would like to do that, but again, we have students currently on at least two continents and spread out over 2-3 time zones, so I know not everyone would be able to do that. If we do a Zoom session for this, I would propose Wednesday evening the final week of class (next week) at about 7pm Pacific time. Please let me know if you are interested and available. Otherwise, you will record yourself making your final presentation, post your recording online in a way that makes it available to your fellow students and me, and post the link to your blog. An assignment sheet outlining the requirements for the final presentation will be provided later this week.

3) In addition to finishing your project, you also have two chaptersto read this week. Please post one blog entry per chapter, choosing one of the side bar questions, or one of the end-of-chapter big picture questions, to focus your post.

I will also post Module 10 later this week, so those of you who are eager to complete all the requirements of the class and want to get ahead can do that.

I hope you all had a nice but safe 4^thof July celebration.
