Today you will finish watching Gandhi and then you need to finish and turn in your Movie Guide questions. Also, check your grades on Infinite Campus. If there is any assignment for this class that doesn’t have a grade, you haven’t turned it in.
Today we are going to finish the movie. After you finish watching part 4, you should be able to answer all of the questions on the movie guide.
In the video yesterday, you saw India win their Independence. Today you will see new issues pop up for them. The Hindus and Muslims were having trouble getting along in their country so they felt they needed to figure out a way to fix that problem so they could avoid a civil war.
After you finish the movie guide, turn it in.
Today you will watch Gandhi Part 3.
Yesterday, the movie ended with the Amritsar Massacre. It was reported that the British fired 1,650 bullets at the unarmed Indians. Both sides debate the number of people killed. The British claimed that around 380 people died and a further 1,200 were wounded. The Indians claim that around 1,000 people died with another 500 injured. General Dyer’s punishment for ordering the Massacre was, he was forced to retire from the military and sent back to England. That was it. When he returned to England, he was treated like a war hero by many people.
Don’t forget about your questions from the movie guide.
Continue watching Gandhi.
Today you will watch part 2. Go to Google Drive>Team Drives>Osborne>Southeast Asia> Gandhi Part 2
In part 2 Gandhi is trying to rediscover India. He’s been in England and South Africa for so long that he doesn’t remember what India is like so he wants to re familiarize himself with it before he does anything to help them gain their Independence.
Remember that you have questions to answer from the video guide.
Mr. Collier (8th Grade Social Studies teacher) is planning an educational trip to Washington DC in June 2020. He is looking for students that would have interest in going to this. If you are interested in learning more, let me know and I will give him your name so he can get you the information.
Today we are going to begin watching the movie Gandhi. This is a real movie that won the Academy Award for best picture in 1983. Ben Kingsley is the actor who plays Gandhi and he won the Academy Award for best actor that year as well. This movie does a perfect job of showing how India gained its independence from Great Britain. Great Britain ruled India and the people of India didn’t like that. It also explains why Pakistan was created because Pakistan used to be part of India.
As you watch the movie, you need to be mindful of the questions on the movie guide. That can be accessed at Google Classroom. You need to answer the questions and you will turn the document in whenever you finish watching the movie. That won’t be until thursday at the earliest.
To access the movie go to Google Drive>Team Drives>Videos>Osborne>Southeast Asia>Gandhi Part 1
Almost half of my students still have something to finish from this week. When we return from Spring Break we are going to start something that will last at least 4 class periods so I want you to finish your assignments from this week:
-Basics of Hinduism
-India Timeline
-Asia Map
If you are finished with all of your assignments, I want you to do one round from Where In the World is Carmen San Diego. It’s a special that Google Earth is currently doing. Follow this link to access it.
After you do one round of Where In the World is Carmen San Diego, I want you to do at least one round of geoguessr. Once you get your final score, raise your hand and I’ll look on your screen. Whoever has the highest score each hour will get 5 bonus points. If you have the highest score for the day, you will get 10 bonus points.
I want everyone to use this link for geoguessr so everyone is playing the same game. All of the answers to this will be found somewhere in the US. If you find clues (road signs, names of businesses, etc.) you may use the internet to help you figure out where you are located.
Everyone needs to continue working on the Asia Map Assignment. Finish that and make sure that you have the other 2 assignments from this week are finished.
After you finish the above assignments, this assignment focuses on the maps of Southeast Asia. You will use a skill in Word called Scribble. If you don’t know how to use Scribble, you will need to watch the Tutorial video at Google Drive>Team Drive>Videos>Osborne>Computer Tutorials>Using Scribble in Word. The document for your assignment can be found here: Southeast Asia Map Make sure you map all of the countries the directions tell you to.
Also, don’t use blue as a color for your countries. That can be mistaken for water.
