Semester 2 Week 1 Day 1

Now we are on semester 2 after the long holidays. Back at school, learning History again. Today there is no LdL, but Mr. Rick explains us about something.

History is all about causal relationships. History requires us to chase threads, we need to go look for more info about the material and go deeper. The most important thing is that the Textbook is only a guide for what material you should learn, not the whole content. There are many things that are outside of the textbook.

• To create an LdL, everyone must make homework. (Which goes in section 3 of coursework file) 
• So then, you have to read the textbook for the material. 
• Next, you need to create a central idea, called a Big Hairy Idea. (BHI)
• And then you need to make 2 Big Hairy Questions (BHQ). This is about what you want to know more about.
• Make 2 Hypothesis. This is an educated guess, maybe an answer to the question of your BHQs.
• Then you go look for sources. This is when you do research, to prove your hypothesis right or wrong.
• If you are done and you are teacher next class, you just copy paste everything you did in the homework to a PowerPoint!

That way, you make a good LdL for your next class.
