Question #3

Please explain who the Congress Party and the Muslim League represented. Why did these groups have different desires?

Question #2

What are separate electorates and why would Muslims in India have wanted to have them?

India - From Reform to Independence - Question #1

We have examined the early history of India and the Speoy Mutiny of 1857. This should have given you a strong understanding of how Indian people were viewed and treated by the British. Now that you have read From Reform to Independence, please give three examples of how British rule of India was reformed.

You be the Expert - Step 2

OUTSTANDING JOB!!!!

You all did a terrific job getting your blogs up and running on Wednesday. It never ceases to amaze me how technologically savvy your generation is.

Now it is time to explore the blogosphere.

"Mr. Parker?"

"Yes Nikki."

"What is the blogosphere?"

"Great question. Google it and find out. "

What you will be doing today is reading each others blogs. What you will be doing is learning from each other and asking questions about topics that you don't understand.

  1. By the end of class, I would like each of you to have read and responded to at least part of 5 of your class mates blogs. You can find a link to your blogs here.
  2. I would also like you to respond to at least two of the comments that your classmates make about your blog. This might require that you do some more research. Remember, it is your job to be the expert on your topic.
  3. If you have finished this, you may work on your posters.
I hope that you all have a terrific long weekend. I will see you on Tuesday.

You be the Expert - Step 1

Hey Sociology Class,
I want each of you to become an expert about a Chinese topic of your choosing. I could ask you to make a PowerPoint, or a PhotoStory but that is SO last year. Blogging is where it's at and each of you will be making your own blog for this assignment.

"Mr. Parker?"

"Yes Taylor."

"What is a blog?"

"Great question." Why don't you find out. Google it.
