– Immigration and Migration
– Civil Rights
Given:
-Use the The Americans textbook to complete the assignment below.
-Refer to the course calendar to acquire due dates and other instructions.
Task:
We will be using a Cornell Notes Template to gather notes from assigned readings. If you would like a quick introduction to the method, please read ‘Student Note-Taking’ under the ‘Admin’ tab in the upper-left menu bar.
The notes you compile (as Cornell Notes) from your reading will augment your class notes and the Auxiliary Notes provided by Mr.V. You are being provided with a list of ‘Key’ vocabulary from each section of the chapter to help you focus and compile notes efficiently. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO INDIVIDUALLY DEFINE THE TERMS.
These notes (as Cornell Notes) are your “Homework” assignments. They must be uploaded as a PDF file to the ‘Assignments’ folder in our shared Dropbox folder. The files are due in Dropbox before the class period on the due date indicated in the course calendar.
There are four chapters within Unit04. The chapter vocabulary listed below are divided into their respective sections. Your notes (as Cornell Notes) should be compiled for each section. Example: Your first reading Assignment will be from Unit04, Chapter13(a) Section01. We call this first assignment A04aS01. Therefore, you should compile notes (as Cornell Notes) for each section and label that file accordingly. Submit each assignment as a separate file. Label each submitted file in the format 2-digit Pd#_LastNameFirstName-FileLabel (Example: 09_SmithJohn-A04aS01). In this example 9th period student, John Smith, submitted his notes (as Cornell Notes) for A04aS01. Remember, when labeling files, an ‘O’ is NOT a Zero ‘0’. ‘O’ is a letter and Zero ‘0’ is a number.
