Start here

Read Arguments A and B. Choose the stronger argument and point to a specific feature that supports your choice.

Before you finish

Mark claim (C), evidence (E), and reasoning (R) in Argument B. Use Savvas Source 4 to explain what made some large wild animals difficult to domesticate. Write your own claim, exact evidence, and reasoning in your Fieldbook or on loose-leaf.

Start here

Try the ten vocabulary situations independently without notes. Mark uncertainty with a question mark. This is practice, not a graded quiz.

Before you finish

Use prior materials to correct with R or a second color; preserve originals and explain two corrections. Complete the transfer scenarios and revise one prior Unit 0 response. Finish the repair/rehearsal and readiness check. Ask a teacher about any missing work; the old printed October 2 deadline is not a new extension.

Before you finish

Finish all six Form questions and press Submit in the Form. Then, if you are missing Homework 02 (Skara Brae), work on it: https://beginwithaquestion.com/homework#hw-2026-10-22 . HOMEWORK — Geographic Evidence & Reading Maps, due Friday, October 30, 2026 at 11:59 p.m. Eastern. Expired links were replaced: open your period’s updated activity from the homework page and complete the assigned Learn activity. If Quizlet is blocked, use the same questions on the website: https://beginwithaquestion.com/homework#hw-2026-10-26

Start here

Take the already printed Do Now slip and answer two questions independently. Get your Fieldbook and pencil ready.

Before you finish

A: choose maps for questions; B: test resource claims and revise; C: read the learning card, then respond independently on Form OR paper. Record A/B in your Fieldbook. No passport. Absent? Use the maps, bilingual learning card and A/B tasks in the linked source pack and submit the same C response. No new homework.

Start here

Open Nov 2 in your own fieldbook, or take the matching paper sheet. Begin 01 with reference Map R: locate China and Venice. The Black Death is a later practice case for map evidence, not a new unit. Your teachers will model the context and key before interpretation.

Before you finish

Gather dates, places and a route in 03. Check them with a partner. Then write your own answer in 04: What could someone misunderstand if they treated Map C as the whole story of how the Black Death spread? Point to something it shows or leaves out and explain why it matters. /4: relevant detail or gap /2; explanation /2. We will close by discussing where careful map reading matters today. Vocabulary Lab 03 due Nov 5; Homework 04 due Nov 6. Use your private notebook or paper. If absent, check the evidence yourself before writing.

Start here

Planned focus; your teachers will adjust from Monday’s work. Open Nov 5 in your own fieldbook. In 01 recall two ideas BEFORE reopening sources. Vocabulary Lab 03 is due today. Tuesday Nov 3 was staff PD; there is no assessment Nov 5.

Before you finish

Use familiar Paleolithic, agricultural-change and Çatalhöyük evidence plus the regional map. Connect chronology and place; preserve and correct your first idea. Selected conclusion 05 /4: source evidence + time/place /2; connected reasoning, uneven change and a useful question /2. Homework 04 /10 due Friday Nov 6; both homework tasks were previewed Monday. Same tab for absence: reread instead of partner talk. Notebook OR dated loose-leaf, not both.

Start here

Planned focus, adjusted to the evidence of learning. Open Nov 6 in your own fieldbook. In 01 explain how a toolmaker who does not farm could eat. Homework 04 /10 is due today. This extends October’s work rather than repeating all of C.1.

Before you finish

Compare excavated remains and a recreated room, then read D on exchange. Explain how food production, exchange and specialized work could connect; test ‘better for everyone.’ Selected conclusion 06 /4: accurate C + D evidence /2; causal reasoning, qualified benefit claim and justified next evidence /2. Teacher scores, feedback and revision appear beside the work before manual PowerSchool entry. Same sources for absence; reread instead of partner talk. Notebook OR paper; no duplicate submission.

Start here

Open Monday in your private November 9–13 Fieldbook. Do Now: Imagine a historian in the future finds our school’s attendance records. What is one question they might ask about life at our school?

Before you finish

Follow the Fieldbook headings: Source A observation; context and a sourcing think-aloud; Source A interpretation; Source B sourcing, evidence and note. Watch the earlier-farming worked model, then draw your own Deir el-Medina model on dated paper: three factors, two explained arrows, and source support. Test one arrow with a partner and date your own update. Write one unanswered historical question and explain Source B’s limit using one HIPP feature. If absent, follow the same tab in order and reread instead of partner talk. Paper model and reference stay in your History Folder; classwork writing stays in your private Fieldbook or paper alternative.

Start here

Open Tuesday in your private Fieldbook. Do Now: Think about the people who keep our school running. What is one question you would ask about the supplies they need to do their work? Then take out Monday’s paper model.

Before you finish

Read Source C’s source line first; discuss publication date versus the ancient period. Read the full evidence and vocabulary, then write My Source C note and My sourcing sentence in their named spaces. Use a Source C detail to keep, strengthen, qualify or change one connection on the same paper model; date the note and explain why. Independently answer the weekly question using two named sources and one causal relationship. Check your response; revise after teacher feedback is available. Before Friday, check What your work needs to show. Complete any missed Monday work first. Vocabulary Lab 04 is due at the start of Global I today and accepted through Thursday; submit it in its own Classroom assignment.

Start here

Period 1 only; Period 2 does not meet. Do Now: Identify one Monday/Tuesday step still unfinished. If finished, write Ready to consolidate in Thursday’s My next step space.

Before you finish

Complete only missing work in its original Monday/Tuesday space. If preparation is complete, explain one relationship from your model, the source detail supporting it, and one source limit using HIPP in Thursday’s independent connection space. After a conference, update the original model or answer without copying it elsewhere. Tell either teacher about preparation or access problems. No new source or essential preparation is introduced for Period 2 or absent students. Vocabulary Lab 04 is accepted through today in its separate assignment.
