PREPARNG FOR THE 2018-2019

6TH GRADE FINAL

Mr. Garcia

6^th Grade end of the year in class essay final

Information

What all of my students need to know about preparing for the end of the year in class essay final. Also attached to this email is all of the cheat sheets given out this year.

This final will be based on a PowerPoint program. There will be a total of 20 paragraphs that each student will be responsible for.  The program will be on a timer, so each student will have three minutes to start and write a paragraph explaining what they see.

Based on what Mr. Garcia has taught you, all students will be responsible for creating at least three topics with three subtopics on each topic chosen then writing a paragraph using the information created by the student.

The following is what to expect. This will be a cumulative historical essay based on the all student have learned this year in 6^th grade ancient history.  Starting with Geography, Ancient Man (Science versus Religion), Mesopotamia, Egypt (the Israelites or Jews), India, Greece and Rome

• The program will be on a timer and will go in chronological order, starting with Geography and ending with the Roman Empire
• Using the PowerPoint program, there will be a display on the board pertaining to each of the civilization we have studies this year.
• Students will look at what is displayed then using prior knowledge to come up with a:
  • Brainstorm topics within 15 to 20 seconds
  • At least 3 topics
  • Created at least 3 sub topics describing their main topics
  • Figure out a compare and contrast
  • Then write a 1 paragraph essay before the 3 minutes are up
  • The PowerPoint will have a sound queue for the next question.

HOW TO PREPARE FOR THE FINAL.

All students must review their 6^th grade social studies book on a daily basis.  I am not requiring you to reread the entire book again, but review and look at all of the pages pertaining to the chapters we as a class have done since the beginning of the year.  

 There is a lot of information in your head that has been learned this year, and for all of my students who have been paying attention, you will have no problem starting and finishing this in class essay.   Students who have not been doing their responsible work, and preparing by reviewing their social studies book will have a difficult time completing this test.  SO REVIEW YOUR BOOK EVERY DAY!

There will be no introduction or conclusion in this final essay. The main purpose is your ability to identify what is being displayed or asked in the PowerPoint program.  For the vast majority of you this will not be a difficult thing to do.  All of you need to trust yourself, because you will do fine.  It is only a small number of you who will have a difficult time completing this essay, only because you are not prepared.

For all of my students who are preparing as I have asked you to, again TRUST yourself, you will do a good job I promise. I have not lied to you this entire year and will not start now.  Believe me when I say you will do a good job.

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor, catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover. "

 Always remember that this whole things

started out as a dream and a mouse.

Walt Disney

Parents and Students,

..

 This week in school . November 5th to the 9th.

We will finish up Ancient Man. I want everyone to know that understanding how Hominids a different species was far different that all other creatures in Earth.  Topic for discussion:

• Domestication of plants and animals
• Hunter Gatherers
• Nomads
• Migration of Man and or (person)
• Nomads
• Hit and miss/trial by error
• Cave Paintings

When we finish Ancient Man we will start  Ancient Mesopotamia, and you will be completing two maps.   One is Ancient, and the other is Modern, in fact, all students will have to learn all of the Middle Eastern countries, their capitols, and the geography around these territories.  Mr. Garcia's will give all his students more than enough time to finish both maps in class . Finishing this in class assignment, will be totally up to each individual student.  The following, are things to remember!!!  

Things to remember, when doing a map in class.  Remember that all students will have all the time necessary to finish their assignment.

• You must focus on map and locating each item. It will be in your book and on information Mr. Garcia will give you.  This is your time to start and complete this assignment. If you stray away by talking and not focusing your mind on your assignment, you will not finish
• I encourage all of you to work together to find all the locations together, you will learn from each other and you will finish quicker.
• Mr. Garcia, will not show or give you the answers on where any of the locations are, instead, he will give you a geographical area from where to look. It is your responsibility to locate the item in that area. 
• When you have located an item on your instruction sheet, cross it out. When all items are crossed out on your instruction sheet, you should be done,. Bring the map to Mr. Garcia so he can correct it. 
• With the exceptions of rivers and mountain ranges, all labeling is to be done in printing, and written in an east/west or west/east direction. Use a ruler if you need to. It is not necessary to fit labels in a country that is small, instead label the country outside of it border so it can be read. That means you will need to write larger.
• You can start coloring your Political map only when Mr. Garcia has finished correcting it. The oceans, rivers, seas and lake must be colored in blue, and all of the countries can be what ever color you choose.  Do not color over any of the labels, instead color around them.  MR. GARCIA WILL ALWAYS HAVE A COMPLETED MAP FOR YOU TO LOOK AT,  IF YOU ARE UNSURE.  Remember, this map must be completed in class, and cannot be taken home.  If you do not finish, you must come in either during lunch, or afterschool.  Those students who do not complete their map on time will receive a “0,” until map is completed. 
• On Thursday and Friday we will be starting a DVD on Time Life’s “Mesopotamia” Notes will be taken and a subsequence quiz will be given.

What to start working on:

Our final is going to be on Ancient Man, Mesopotamia and possibly Egypt.  This will be a ten paragraph essay with eight topics, your introduction and conclusion.  As always, I will be giving a CHEAT SHEET on Ancient Man, Mesopotamia, and Egypt. but, students do not have to wait to find the topics they want to write about they can, themselves research these civilizations, and choose two topics on Ancient Man  3 topics on Mesopotamia, and 3 topics on Ancient Egypt a total of eight topics..   On the topics you choose, you will need to have seven subtopics, explaining each of the eight topics you have chosen.  This of course will make it easier to finish your one hour in class essay.  The format of the essay will not change, and will be similar to your first midterm.

As always if you do not understand what I have written call me.
