In class, you and your group members were assigned a specific primary source document on Ancient Egypt. You had an opportunity to read and begin responding to the questions found in those documents. Today, you will continue your analysis of the primary source document and extract additional content. Your written responses will be submitted for evaluation by following these steps…

1. The documents you and your group members received in class are available/ accessible to you by clicking on the “Mobile Docs” link found at the bottom of the Home page of our course website.
2. When you get to the Mobil Docs site, locate the reading you were assigned and ‘click’ on the link to view. On some of the computers in the Stuyvesant PC Labs a window may popup indicating that “Flash” must be downloaded. Ignore that window and just click on the button labeled “Download”. The document will become visible without actually downloading. You can read the document comfortably from the website by zooming in or out.
3. To complete the written portion of the task, several steps are necessary.
• You should use Google Docs or Microsoft Office Live to write the responses. You can access those services free of charge if you have a GMail or Hotmail account, respectively.
• When you have your Google Docs/ MS Office Live account open and ready to create a written document, you should open another browser tab and return to the Mobile Docs website. Open the document titled Template_ReadingResponses. The template depicts the formatting that your written assignment must have. This formatting is the basis for what will evolve into the college standard known as Modern Language Association (aka, MLA standard).
4. Begin constructing the first draft of your written document in Google Docs/ MS Office Live. You can complete it at home.
5. Upon completion, save a copy to your home (personal) computer as a PDF file. Label that PDF file using this format: Pd#_LastNameFirstName-ReadingTitle. Here is an example of a correctly labelled PDF file and one that isn’t…
1. Correct- 03_SmithJohn-AtumCreationMyth
2. Incorrect- Pd#3_SmithJ-Myth
6. Upload that PDF file to the Box.net folder that you created previously this term and shared with me. This will allow me to access the file and evaluate the assignment.
7. Send a copy of the PDF to each member of your group so they can benefit from your analysis of the assigned primary source document. T04 will contain questions that require an understanding of the content in ALL of these primary source documents. Therefore, a group effort is necessary for all to succeed.
8. The Rubric (criteria scale) for grading your written work can be found in Mobile Docs.

1. Today we practice with the QuizStar application. This is where you should go to take “practice” exams on the topics we have covered this term. Mr. V will publish a new (topic) exam AFTER the in-class version was administered and graded.

As we get closer to the end of the term, and Stuyvesant’s Uniform Final Exam, students may believe that much of the information covered earlier in the term has been forgotten. QuizStar exams can help you revisit the information from earlier in the term and reveal topic areas that you should review in lesson notes and assignments.

Login to your QuizStar account.2. Take one of the available examinations. If you are sharing a computer workstation, allow the other person to work with you in answering the questions. Then, switch places with the person and allow them to login to their account and repeat the process with a different exam.

2.  As we attempt to expand your toolbox of applications, I would like you to signup for a FREE account at Box. This, like Dropbox and SugarSync, provide you with free online storage. This is great for backing up all your data. If you add Box, SugarSync, and Dropbox to your toolbox of applications, you’ll have a minimum of 12 GBs of storage space combined. So, signup for Box today.

Once in your Box account, create a folder and title it with your period number, last name, first name (Example: 6_SmithJohn). Then share the folder with me by sending a collaboration invitation to mr.v@worldhistoryreview.org.

3. Send Mr.V an email right now with the following Subject Line data and nothing written in the body of the message:  Pd#_LastNameFirstName (Example: 6_SmithJohn).
