The required work for the unification of the Hawaiian Isles will be judged on the results of your booklet. There are three benchmarks that we are addressing: SS.7HHK.3.1 - Explain the events (including warfare and land control), people (including Kamehameha, Kekuhaupio, Kalaniopu'u, Kiwala'o, Keoua, Keawemauhili, Kahekili, Kalanikupule, Davies, and Young), and ideas (including foreign advisores, weaponry, and stategies) that led to the unification of the Hawaiian Islands., 2) SS.7.HHK.1.1 - Analyze both change and continuity during unification and the monarchy period. With this benchmark, the student compares ideas (e.g., kapu system), technology (e.g., firearms, ships), and people, foreign advisors) that led to major changes during the unification and monarchy period. The last benchmark, SS.7.HHK.3.2 asks you to describe the effects of unification including the establishment of monarchy, peaceful rule of Kamehameha, Mamalahoe Kanawai, the organization of government, and rebuilding of resources. Hence, we study Kamehameha's peaceful rule of the islands. You need to include the re-building of war torn Hawaii, the cultivation of taro lands, and taxation.
Your booklet will be judged using a special rubric (see Class Links). After you have culled your data, you may want to look into George Orwell's 6 Rules for Writing - See http://www.writingclasses.com/informationPages/index.php/PageID300 or http://grammar.about.com/od/writeronwriting/a/OrwellRules.htm
After you cull your information, it would be a good idea to organize your data by outline or through the use of graphic organizers (see http://www.cls.utk.edu/pdf/keys_Id/appendix_E.pdf)
For the lessons on Tuesday (9/4), Thursday (9/6), and Friday, (9/7) you will meet in the Computer Lab and research as many Internet websites related to Kamehameha's unification and also Kamehameha's peaceful rule since the booklet you are assimilating also include SS.7HHK.3.2 and SS.7.HHK.1.1 (see the Standards and Benchmarks under Class Links on this blogspot.
To augment the production of your booklet, you might want to create a time-line followed by your sentences and paragraphs fully describing the unification, Kamehameha's peaceful rule, and the establishment of the monarchy.
An excellent text to paraphrase is A. Grove Day's pamphlet entitled, Kamehameha - Hawaii's First King. Remember that the City of Refuge and the Battle of Moku'ohai located on the Big Island are in close proximity to each other.
