1. Please do not talk at this timeSept 3/4 HW: Finish work on Fascism and Communism Chapter 15.4 Cornell Notes (pg. 16A) Due Friday 1. Please get out your Communism/Fascism papers and get in the group you were last time. 2. Then, get a Documents folder for you and your partner.

2. Class Definition Communism- You may end up adding to your own if you like the class version better.

3. Part 1: Defining Communism and Fascism Fascism- Look at Document 2 with your Partners. Together, brainstorm the 5 most important things you need to know from this reading to understand what Fascism is. Use the Reading Strategies (pg. 11) we’ve covered already or others that you know to SUMMARIZE the 5 most important points from the reading. Use those 5 ideas to craft a definition of Fascism. Write your definition on your paper. Remember, when we share out, I will ask you WHY you chose that piece of information about Fascism. Be ready to say WHY you thought it was important.

4. Class Definition Fascism- You may end up adding to your own if you like the class version better.

5. Corroborating- Finding the same information in more than one place. We need to assume that the good people at How Stuff Works might not have mentioned everything important about Fascism and Communism. We also need to double check our choices to see if we really did pick out the most important stuff. We will refine our answers by looking for information that shows up in more than one place. When you are looking for the same information from more than one reliable source, you are CORROBORATING. The more reliable sources that say the same thing, the more likely the information is to be accurate and important.

6. Together as a team, read over Documents 3 and 4 Find information that appears more than once for both Communism and Fascism and record that information in your Chart. NOTE: It is unlikely that these sources will say EXACTLY the same thing. You will have to use your judgment to decide if the words and phrases you see mean the same thing. Fill out your chart with any information you can find in more than one place. Underline information you find in all three places. Now check your definitions… did the info that came up more than once end up in your definition? Are there any changes you would like to make?

7. Part 2: Practice Corroborating and Gathering Information on Fascism and Communism Communism info in more than one placeFascism info in more than one place

8. Now check your definitions… did the info that came up more than once end up in your definition? Are there any changes you would like to make?

Start by reading the Proficient B-Grade requirements for Cornell Notes with your partner. Every time you come to a requirement give it a number. You may end up numbering many of the bullets or even sections of a single bullet set.

15. Now do the same with the Advanced A-Level Requirements First Number them (continuing your number list from the B-Level requirements) Then find where those things are or where they go on the model and put the number for that thing there…. Key information in the right side of the notes has been highlighted/underlined after notes are taken. 10

16. Advanced- A grade All of proficient standards are met Key information in the right side of the notes has been highlighted/underlined after notes are taken.
