RÚBRIC FOR THE EVALUATION

AL-ANDALUS IN THE IBERIAN PENINSULA (Unit 12-Science Y6)

In the last historical period we talked about the Visigoths. The Visigoths were in the Iberian Peninsula until the 711 A.D. when the King Roderic was defeated by the MUSLIMS. It was in this moment when this new historical period started.

LET'S HAVE A LOOK TO THIS VIDEO TO HAVE AN IDEA ABOUT HOW THE MUSLIM CONQUEST WAS. 

How was the Muslim conquest?

You could look at the map which is below how the Muslims were in the Iberian Peninsula from 711 up to 1492.

THE MUSLIM INVASION.

• Muslims from northern Africa invaded Visigothic Spain in 711 A.D.
• They ocuppied most of the Peninsula and the Balearic Islands.
• This territory was called Al Andalus, and its capital was Cordoba.
• Al Andalus became a province of the Muslim Empire. It was governed by the caliph of Damascus in Asia.

THE EMIRATE OF CALIPHATE OF CORDOBA.

• In 756 A.D. Abd ar-Rahman I established Al Andalus as an independent province or emirate.

• In 929 A.D. Al Andalus became a caliphate under Abd ar-Rahman III. He was the caliph, the maximum political and religious authoroty in Al Andalus. 

• The caliphate lasted until 1031 A.D. During this period, Al Andalus was divided into smaller kingdoms, called taifas.

THE END OF AL ANDALUS.

• The taifas fought among themselves and this helped the Christian Kingdoms to gain territory. 

• In 1212 A.D. The Christians defeated the Muslims at The Battle of Las Navas de Tolosa.
• In 1492 A.D. the Catholic Monarchs conquered the only remaining Muslim Kingdom, the Kingdom of Granada. 

SOCIETY AND CULTURAL HERITAGE.

• Al Andalus society was formed by Muslims, Christians and Jews.
• It had great scienctists, suchs as doctors, mathematicians and geographers. The mathematicians created the systems of numbers which we used today
• The Muslims made great contibutions to society:

• CROPS: like rice.

• INSTRUMENTS: like compass.

• IRRIGATION SYSTEMS.

LET'S PLAY AND REVIEW WHAT YOU'VE LEARNT

VISIGOTHS IN THE IBERIAN PENINSULA (Unit 12-Science Y6)

Let's move onto the next period of History. Remember we have talked about Prehistory, Pre-Roman times, and the Roman Empire in the Iberian Peninsula. 
Now we will learn about the MIDDLE AGES, and today we will start when the Germanic Tribes conquered Hispania and defeated the Roman Empire.

This video will explain you what happened in the Iberian Peninsula during the MIDDLE AGES.

THE VISIGOTHS INVASION

If you have a look and think about this map. With a partner try to explain the Visigoth invasion.

Where did they come from? 

What parts of the Iberian Peninsula did they conquer first? 

Who were in the Peninsula before them?

THE VISIGOTHS.

 

• The Vandals, Alans and Suevi were tribes from Northern Europe. They invaded Hispania in 409 A.D.
• To fight against them Romans needed the help of Visigoths, another Germanic Tribe.
• They expelled Vandals and Alans and Visigoths established their own kingdom in The península. 

THE VISIGOTHIC KINGDOM.

• The Peninsula was controlled by the Visigoths and the Suevi (They were in the north-west).
• The Visigothic Kingdom was ruled by a King.

• Leovigild was one of the most important kings. He made Toledo the capital of the Kindom and conquered the Suevi.
• The Visigothic Kingdom lasted until 711 A.D. when Roderic was defeated by the Muslims.

VISIGOTHIC SOCIETY. 

• Visigothic unified their new kingdom by changing their own language, religion and laws.
• They became Christians and based their laws on Roman laws. 

VISIGOTHIC HERITAGE.

• They built small stone Churches.
• They made jewellery with gold, silver and precious stones.

A HISTORY MAGAZINE (History-Science Y6)

You are going to become a history journalist!!!

After a term full of history lessons. We are going to investigate about the history of our area, publish an article and create a History Magazine in the class.

The article will have five parts:

• Title (It should be atractive, not just the name of the History period)
• Historical context of the period, some short information talking about history.
• Documentary about this period. (It should be an storytelling about daily life in this historical period)
• Brief summary about what happened in our area (Aguilar de Campoo)
• The authors and from which websites or books you took the information (the bibliography).

As we have done in all the tasks it is very important to follow the process and the following steps:

1. We will divide the class into 9 groups (most of them will be pairs and some will be threes)

• Prehistory. 
• Preroman times.
• Roman Times
• Visigothics.
• Muslims.
• Christian Kingdoms.
• Catholic Monarchs and XVI century.
• XVIII Century.
• XIX Century.

2. Let's review all the history posts to look for information about your history period. 

Mi Primer Año en Red XXI: History Y6 Posts.

3. Write a short summary for the HISTORICAL CONTEXT  with the important facts.

4. CREATE a documentary or "storytelling" about life in the historical period:

• My life in the Paleolithic: A Digital Story can be a good example for you. 
• Tips: Remember to create your storyboard and script and show it to your teacher to check you are in the right way.  

5. With the following links INVESTIGATE and WRITE a paragraph about this historical period in our area of Aguilar de Campoo. 

• Prehistory: The nearest Prehistory areas and remains are Altamira  and  Atapuerca.
• Preromans times: There was a tribe along this lands The Támaricos and also is very famous El Castro del Monte Bernorio.
• Roman Times: The Romans founded many cities in our province. Romans in Palencia 
• Visigothics: We can look for information in the village of Mave.
• Muslims: We don't really have remains of them but we can know what happened on Muslim times in Valderredible. 
• Christian Kingdoms: Aguilar was born in this period. Also we have important Romanesque momuments. 
• Catholic Monarch and the XVI Century: Aguilar had Marquis. Also Charles I of Spain and V of Germany visited our village. And we have an important explorer Juan Martín
• XVIII Century: The Catastro del Marqués de la Ensenada talked about Aguilar. 
• XIX Century: The French troops were here.

6. You will create your article for the Magazine. We are going to use a new app to  create it:

This video will help you to know how to deal with it: 

(It was done by @jferna35)

Your teacher will say to you what page of the magazine you have to do and also the username and the password to enter in your class magazine.

7. Each member of the group will write a post in the kidblog as it was a page of the magazine. And send it to the teacher through the EDMODO. 

8. EVALUATION:

• The final score will be up to 100 points.
• 50 points will be given by the teachers. (Using the rubric)
• 28 will be given by self-evaluation. (Using the rubric, it is done individually)
• 22 will be given to each member of the team. (Give out maximum 22 points to each member of the group)


You are going to create a paper as draft. You have to include:
• Your name and members of your group.
• Your self-evaluation with the rubric. (Maximum 28 points)
• Your team member's points. (Maximun 22 points)

VIDEOS ABOUT UNIT 12 PREHISTORY & ANTIQUITY

Tengo el placer de presentaros los post publicados por los alumnos de 5ºA en la asignatura de Science.

Estos posts han sido publicados en el blog de aula:

Los alumnos han utilizado la herramienta de la web 2.0 http://popplet.com/ para hacer sus propios diagramas o mapas conceptuales sobre la unidad 12 PREHISTORY & ANTIQUITY. 

Después han utilizado sus propios mapas conceptuales para construir un vídeo utilizando la web tool http://www.screencast-o-matic.com/. Ese vídeo es "upload" por ellos mismos a su propio canal de youtube para terminar con todo ello, en su propio blog, construyendo un post dedicado a resumir y entender mejor la unidad.

Más tarde lo han enviado a una asignación por EDMODO nuestra red social.

Aquí os dejo con cada post hecho por cada alumno.
