STUDENT MATERIALSSTUDENT MATERIALSS-1UNIT 5 PROBLEM NOTEBOOKWORLD HISTORY PROJECT 1750 / LESSON 5.0 ACTIVITYPurposeEach unit of the WHP course is guided by a Unit Problem. You’re learning a ton of stuff in this and every other unit, and it can be hard to keep track of what’s most important. It would be pretty easy to become obsessed with a detail that, although interesting and a great way to impress people at a party is relatively unimportant. This activity will help you stay focused! You’ll think about the Unit Problems, and then you’ll respond to them in writing. By keeping track of how your thinking changes throughout each unit, you’ll see how much you’re learning as you move through each section of the course.ProcessUse the Unit 5 Problem Notebook Worksheet to respond to the prompts as best as you can. Be prepared to talk about your ideas with your class.
