Please remember, this is NOT an assignment for you to complete for homework. The only reason I am posting this is to aid you in your analysis of the raw documents.
Both packets should be turned in with everyone’s names included. Please ask if you have questions, rather than assume. Give yourselves an artificial deadline of Monday to make sure that all of the parts fit together in a coherent whole. I will reply to emails or FB comments occasionally over the weekend.

Feel free to incorporate this film into your "outside information" list. This is NOT a requirement, but only a suggestion.
| What is the format for citing the documents in the DBQ packets? Do we cite the Wheeler and Becker packet or their source citation?
What is the guideline for boxing the documents? Is each page boxed or is each document boxed?
Thanks, Popocatepetl

Sorry, I forgot to post this to the blog earlier today.
Annotate and Answer: to what extent was the Conquest complete?
Pretend this was a 50-minute presentation to an adult audience. What slides or section would you cut to save time? Please leave your thoughts in the "comments" section below.

As we wrap up our unit on exploration, please watch the following presentation (which you can pause and resume) in preparation for our film viewing. Think carefully about all we have studied so far, including the role of the Church and Restall's "The Myth of Completion" and to what degree the film addresses those issues.
comment- it said it was spam!!!!!
An intriguing fact from this presentation was the fact that the human brain is so extremely malleable, even as adults. As you were talking about this I remembered a howstuffworks podcast about an interesting article on self-experimenting scientists. A man named George Stratton wore inverted lenses over his eyes, so the world was upside down whenever he looked at something. Yet, after less than a week, his eyesight returned to normal. This is a great example of even though he perceived the world as right-side up since childhood, his brain fixed the image. Here's the article: http://science.howstuffworks.com/innovation/scientific-experiments/10-scientists-self-experimenters9.htm
Also, I think the presentation could be done in 50 minutes, but with crowd time limited. When you did it, it was in a very small environment where we talked about the information and shared stories. If you did it more like a college presentation, with small amounts of crown interaction which will most likely happen, it will be a lot shorter.
