Hello everyone,
You all should have a 2-page handout on Feudalism. Your homework will be to magnet strategy all three sections. Please read the comments that I wrote on your homework and look at MY MAGNET STRATEGY of the Bayeux Tapestry as an example of how I formed my sentences.
Here are some guidelines that you should follow when doing the magnet strategy:
1) Do one little magnet note per paragraph (the start of a new paragraph is always indented). For this homework, you MUST have only 6 little magnet notes.
2) Do one big magnet note per section ("Feudalism Develops In Europe", "The Lives of Nobles", "Manorialism"). I want just one sentence on each big magnet note. For this homework, you MUST have only 3 big magnet notes.
3) Try to use different magnet words in a section. Ex. If you chose "Europe" as your magnet word for the first paragraph in the section, "Feudalism Develops In Europe", you CANNOT use it in the second paragraph of the section. Read this next part carefully! You CAN use "Europe" in the next section, "The Lives of Nobles", because it is a different section. But if you use it for one paragraph, then you cannot use it for the second paragraph in this section. ("Europe" is not a good magnet word for the second section).
4) Your "clinging" words are the words that you attach to your magnet word. You can have many clinging words but make them short.
Suppose your magnet word is society and you are now looking for clinging words...
DO NOT DO THIS: Ex. "peasants served and were controlled by nobles"
DO THIS: peasants
or DO THIS: nobles
or DO THIS: controlled
5) Use ALL magnet words in your sentence. You do not have to use all your clinging words in your sentence.
I know this is a lot to read and a bit hard to do but it is a good strategy that will help you remember important details. It will pay off in the end. Keep up the good work and see you all on Monday. Pro-D day on Friday! Awesome!!
Cheers,
Mr. Wong
