Dialectic History - Co-op 1 Assignment

[EllenG]

Please see attached for the Co-op 1 Assignment. It covers weeks 1-3 of the Year 3 curriculum. If I'm honest, I'll say it feels a bit hefty for a first assignment - especially for those new to the Dialectic Level. Please feel free to adjust as appropriate for your student.

A few notes:
Tomorrow (8/1) I'm hoping to connect with Brook Hunt and pass off a packet for each dialectic student that includes their timeline and key figure cards. She mentioned potentially crossing paths with some of you at an upcoming drama camp. If you don't have someone involved there, perhaps you could reach out to her about meeting up or doing a porch pickup. Thank you Brook!!!! Otherwise, you can pick the materials up at the Parent Meeting on the 17th.

For returning dialectic students, they are welcome to use their George Washington key figure card from last year. I have included those in the packet for all students though in case he has gone missing.

Also, it might be helpful if you point out to your student the hash marks at the top of the timeline pages. They each represent one year and are useful in placing events. I have attached a copy of our classroom timeline as an example - I wrote the years out on the hash marks to clarify that but your student does not need to do that. And your student is welcome to bring their own "style" to the project.

Please reach out to me if you have any questions. I hope your school year gets off to a great start.
Blessings,
Ellen
