FILLED IN THE BLANK

The questions that poultrymen face as they
raise chickens from incubation to adult life are
not easy to answer. Both farmers and merchants
can become concerned when health problems such as
coccidiosis arise any time after the egg stage to
later life. Experts recommend that young chicks
should have plenty of sunshine and nutritious
food for healthy growth. Banties and geese
should not share the same barnyard or even sleep
in the same room. They may be afraid of the
dark.

What are we talking about?

With hocked gems financing himOur hero bravely
defied all scornful laughterThat tried to
prevent his schemeYour eyes deceive, he said,An
egg,
Not a table,
Correctly typifies this unexplored domain.Now
three sturdy sisters sought proofForging along
sometimes through calm vastnessYet more often
over turbulent peaks and valleysDays became
weeksAs many doubters spread fearful
rumoursAbout the edgeAt last from nowhere
winged creatures appearedSignifying momentous
success.

15
WHATS THE BIG IDEA?

Perspective building falls down Why did this
building fall down?

current events.

another.
Every society has developed some political system
by which either the one, the few, or the many
rule over others.

22

and their government?

23
Why study world history project - The world and
the US today are facing many significant
Revolutions and wars that have their root
causes in the past. Lessons from the past can
also help us understand the Revolutions and
wars, prepare solutions, avoid pitfalls observed
from similar Revolutions and wars addressed in
the past and better prepare ourselves to be
citizens of the world.

Project As a group, prepare a brief Powerpoint
presentation for ONE assigned current
Revolution or war.
Using your textbook and internet research (find
useful links on mrksmodernworld.pbworks.com, as
well as other sources, complete a Revolution/War
Snapshot chart.
As you research, record proper bibliographic
entries.
Share your research with the other members of
your groups so that each has a complete
Revolution/War Snapshot.
Analyze the list of the Course Enduring
Understandings (see list above) and determine
which relate to this Revolution or war.
Find images, charts, graphs, etc that will help
illustrate your presentation and will inform your
audience.
Prepare your Powerpoint presentation. Include
all of the above information.
