Aloha World History Students!!!

 

Please read the following COVID-19/School Closure Update for our World History class. Please visit our World History Home Page: https://ehs.leusd.k12.ca.us/apps/pages/index.jsp?uREC_ID=565857&type=u&pREC_ID=1597831

 

Respectfully Yours, 

 

Mr. Caballero

 

Aloha Students!!

 

As a professional educator, I am calling your attention to a BIG problem we have in American schools: Cell Phone Addiction.  "Teens spend an average of seven hours and 22 minutes on their phones a day, and tweens -- ages 8 to 12 -- are not far behind, at four hours and 44 minutes daily, according to a new report by Common Sense Media, a nonprofit that promotes safe technology and media for children."

 

Think about it. If students are spending 7 hours and 22 minutes on their phones, when are students actually reading, writing, and studying?

 

American teachers across the nation are noticing a greater number of students on their cell phones during classroom instruction in violation of their school/district policy. If you are unable to focus in school, work or at home, take a look at how much time you are spending on your cell phone/electronic device. You may be suffering from cell phone addiction. 

 

Please read the LEUSD School Board Policy on the use of Cell Phones & All Electronic Devices: "Students are required to turn them [cell phones & electronics] off and place them out of sight during school hours. (BP 5131)."

 

In the spirit of helping and supporting our students, parents, and staff, I am providing a resource for cell phone addiction. If you need help, please do not hesitate to ask. We have all become more and more addicted to cell phones. I am no exception. Let's get help and be free of all distractions from our learning. 

 

Please read the following: https://www.psychguides.com/behavioral-disorders/cell-phone-addiction/signs-and-symptoms/

 

If you are suffering from any of the symptoms of cell phone addiction, we can help guide you to resources to help. My hunch is that if you limit your cell phone use, there will be more time for you to be more present and available for authentic teaching & learning in the classroom. I hope this helps!

 

 

Aloha Students! If you still are not satisfied with your grades and results in high school, you may not be studying effectively for your Final Exams. Please read the recommendation below on 20 Study Strategies for Finals Week: https://www.fastweb.com/student-life/articles/the-20-study-tips-for-finals

1. Create your own study guide.

While many teachers provide a study guide, creating your own can help you understand the material better. Outlining the important information you need to learn can be helpful, both in creation and to refer to during your studies.

2. Ask questions.

Your professors and TA’s are there to help! Ask them questions regarding the material and the exam so that you’re prepared when exam time arrives.

3. Attend the review session.

Review sessions offer vital information on exam format, what will be on the exam and key concepts you should be focusing your studies on.

4. Start early.

If you always start ahead of schedule, you’ll never be cramming the night before an exam. You’ll almost always perform better in doing so!

5. Organize a group study session.

It can be helpful to study in groups – sometimes. Evaluate whether or not studying with others will be beneficial to the subject as well at your learning process.

6. Study things not on the study guide.

Study guides aren't always comprehensive – they’re just suggestions of the main concepts to learn. Use your study guide for its intended purpose: a guide. Be sure to fill in the blanks with related information.

7. Take breaks.

You won’t be able to memorize or comprehend all the material at once. Balance is key - ensure that you reward learning with break times to recharge and relax.

8. Stay well-rested.

There’s a lot to be said about a good night’s sleep. Make sure you’re well-rested so that you can be fully focused during your exams.

9. Create a study schedule - and follow it.

Splitting the material into chucks you can actually achieve can be very beneficial. That way, you can keep track of what you’ve accomplished instead of looking at the big picture and getting overwhelmed.

10. Prioritize your study time.

Some exams will be more difficult than others, some you may find easier to study for. Some may be worth more of your grade than others. Make sure to evaluate all of your exams to consider and determine all of the involved factors so you can study accordingly.

11. Study for the style of exam.

If it’s multiple choice, you’ll need to know definitions and concepts. For essay exams, focus on your understanding of all the concepts presented, with examples in mind.

12. Quiz yourself.

If you think about and create actual exam questions, you will likely become more familiar with what you need to study and, in the meantime, familiarize yourself with the type of language that will be on the exam. Draft potential exam questions and quiz yourself so that you can set expectations of what you need to focus on.

13. Meet with your professor or TA.

Often times, meeting with an instructor, whether it’s a professor or a TA, can give you helpful hints for what to study and ways to prepare for the exam.

14. Reorganize your notes.

Evaluate and reorganize your notes into what’s important, outlining important concepts, formulas dates and definitions so they’re easy to understand.

15. Pace yourself.

Make sure you stay focused and don’t burn yourself out. A great way to do so is to pace yourself rather than opting for the dreaded all-nighter. You can easily pace yourself by following tips like starting early, creating a study schedule and taking breaks when necessary!

16. Teach classmates.

Learning by teaching is a method that really works! If you work with a study buddy and explain concepts to one another, you're re-learning the material all over again. It's a great way to reinforce what you've learned and help someone in the meantime!

17. Revolve your focus.

Switching up your subjects is a helpful way to learn everything for your exams while preventing burnout on one topic. Make sure to switch it up before your eyes glaze over! That way, you can keep studying for longer periods of time while maintaining your focus.

18. Color code it.

Create a system that allows you to color code material that's going to be on the exam by what's most important, less important, etc. This will help you focus on the most pertinent information and prioritize the material.

19. Visualize.

If you're a visual learner, it can help to create mind maps or diagrams to visualize how the concepts you're learning relate to one another. This is especially beneficial when learning concepts that build upon the understanding of one another, like in science courses.

20. Make it fun.

It's easier to focus if you adapt to studying by quizzing yourself, creating acronyms or rewarding yourself for a job well done. Create a game plan - literally - that allows you to accomplish tasks and be rewarded for each. For example, why not reward yourself with a piece of chocolate or a sip of your coffee after you've accomplished a new chapter or allow yourself five minutes of free time for every chunk of material you digest? You can even add in fun factors like power-ups every time you learn a new definition and lose a life, which means you add another definition to your list, when you get an answer wrong!

Aloha World History Students!!!! 🌊🏄🏽🌴 🌞 Homework for today: Read and annotate the primary source document: "Letters of Pliny the Younger and the Emperor Trajan". Please annotate, highlight and markup-notes directly on the handout, so as to organize your thoughts and answer the questions presented in class. 

 

 

🌺Also, make sure you completed your Homework: Read Chapter 1 Lesson 2 "The World of Rome" with a Close Reading of "The Development of Christianity" pages 16-19. This will help you in your homework tonight in understanding the "Development of Christianity" in the Roman Empire. 

 

Students also engaged in a 3x5 Study Card Workshop where students learned out to use 3x5 Cards to support their preparation for exams. ALL Students are encouraged to create their own 3x5 study cards to better prepare for the exam(s). Look at this video to help

 

 

Good afternoon World History Students! Goooooooo Socrates! ;-)

 

 

NOTE: You do not have to complete the Roman section, but I'm not going to stop you. You also do not have to complete the Summary and Reflection Writing Prompt: "What Greek, Roman and Judeo-Christian values and ideas influenced the development of Western society?" BUT I AM NOT GOING TO STOP YOU. HINT: THIS WILL BE THE WRITING PROMPT FOR THE EXAM ON THE GREEKS AND ROMANS. So, if you want to get a head start.........GO FOR IT!

 

 

https://youtu.be/CyIKayNXTPY This video is good for all students. It provides a general overview of Socrates, his teachings and his impact on Western civilization. This is worth the 4 minutes 15 seconds of your time. 

 

https://youtu.be/fLJBzhcSWTk This video is a good one for all students. It gives us a closer look at why Socrates did not think "democracy" was always "good." This video will make you think critically about our attitudes about "democracy." Definitely worth 4 minutes and 21 seconds of your time. 

 

https://youtu.be/uvY3VWe4O4k  This video is really good for the "advanced student" that enjoys going deeper into critical thinking and reflecting on the timelessness & wisdom of Socrates. All are invited, but some may find it a bit esoteric. But don't let this stop you form learning more deeply and thinking more critically. I say GO FOR IT!  ;-) Still worth the 10 minutes of your time. 

 

 

 

 

***If this homework is already complete, students are still encouraged expand their learning by using internet resources like YouTube, Crash Course World History, Khan Academy, Google Searches etc....to support their understanding of Chapter 1 Lesson 1. Aloha!
