Money, Clock and Japan Education

Money

What is the largest denomination of US Currency ever produced? It is actually the $100,000 Dollar Bill, which was only released once in 1934. So who was on it? President Woodrow Wilson. After 1945, the largest denomination of the US currency has been the $100 dollar bill. Well today, someone tried to open a bank account in South Carolina with a $1,000,000 (One Million) dollar bill! Since this size of a bill doesn’t even exist, it was pretty easy for the bank teller to tell it was a fake and the man was arrested! http://www.nbcaugusta.com/news/strange/11852036.html

The ABCs of Nooses and Hate Symbols

November 16, 2007The ABCs of Nooses and Hate Symbols
A recent wave of noose hangings — inspired by the incidents in Jena, La. — has raised alarm among adults and questions from young people. This edition of The Anti-Bias Classroom (The ABCs) provides strategies for teaching about divisive hate symbols.

Millions Mix It Up At Lunch
On Tuesday, an estimated four million students in 10,000 schools participated in the sixth annual Mix It Up at Lunch Day. Nationwide, students crossed the lines of division and made new friends.

Animated clip of Zheng He’s ship

Stumbled across this and thought some might like it. A Nova animation of Zheng He’s ship, with a good comparison between it and European ships of the same period.  The 3-D imaging makes it easier to visualize than the pictures often used to compare the two.

US to Sanctions on Iran

Note, that this may first time the US has referred to a nation’s military unit (Quds, Iranian Revolutionary Guards) as a terrorist group.  The US govt. has been saying that the Quds force
has been supplying weapons into Iraq.

As in Iraq, we cited Saddam’s (run by his son) elite Rev. Guards, as a threat and targeted
them in 1991 and in 2003.  Another step to war, as I had mentioned this spring or summer, 2008.

CCOT

Essay prompts are almost never stated as questions – which becomes problematic for some students when they cannot correctly identify the question be asked.

 

As to a CCOT essay on this topic I have used the AP unit of trade that includes the article on “Southernization” followed by this CCOT essay:

 

 

CHANGE OVER TIME ESSAY

 

The time allotted for this essay is 40 minutes.

 

Directions: You are to answer the following question. You should spend 5 minutes organizing or outlining your essay. Write an essay that:

 

• Has a relevant thesis and supports that thesis with appropriate historical evidence.

 

• Addresses all parts of the question.

 

• Makes direct, relevant comparisons.

 

Historical Background: Evidence of trade between cultures predates written records. Goods, people, and ideas have spread across the Afro-Eurasian land mass in varying amounts and regularity. A major change occurred between 100 BCE and 1000 CE which would usher in the Atlantic System and the modern global trading network.

 

 

Task:

 

• Discuss the change and continuities in the Afro-Eurasian trading systems, 100 BCE to 1000 CE.
• Be sure to explain how alterations in the framework of international trade interacted with regional factors to produce the changes and continuities throughout the period.

I am wondering if anyone out there has a good prompt for  a CCOT the essay?  I have one I can use:  Analyze the changes and continuities in world trade from 500 BCE to 1000 CE in any one of the following regions:  The Silk Road (Central Asia, East Asia, Southeast Asia), The Mediterranean, or Sub-Saharan Africa.  It seems rather simple but it is their first CCOT essay.  It, also, doesn’t pose a question…is that usual for the CCOT?  Would it be better to ask What were the…?
