Day Four return DBQs and debate

Day Five What are the characteristics of socialism? Socialism summarizers by small group and then share back. (would take one period if there was not a pep rally and a shortened period)

Really liked this as a plan -- works perfectly for one period bell to bell.

__**DAYS FIVE and SIX**__ • Distribution of Sourcebooks. • Analyze Owen source using graphic organizer. • Evaluate Mill and Owen using guided questions on worksheet.

Five

Six • Collect and randomly redistribute paragraphs five and six. • Using post-it notes have students read and give feedback to the author. 1. Underline the best point that they make or / the best crafted sentence in their paragraph and explain what you like about it. 2. Build on what you read in the paragraph by either agreeing with and adding to a statement that was made OR disagreeing with and refuting a statement that was made.

• Whole class discussion on Owen and Mill • What are the recommending/arguing? What do they see as necessary to create change in society? • Does it / will it work? Why or why not? • How would a capitalist (Malthus, Smith, Ricardo, Smiles) respond to Owen and Mill? • What are the strengths and flaws of their arguments? Are they biased? This worked well -- good discussion. maybe next year think about using source questions.

Day Seven Communism

protocol worked well -- rework questions a bit -- direct them to quotes maybe

Day Nine - E to the G

anarchy conversation good -- tied to government shutdown make sure to tie back to IR
