Happy Friday!!  I hope you are all making plans for something fun this weekend!!

 

I read a quotation today that says:

 

"If you were born without wings, do nothing to prevent them from growing."

 

 This is my challenge for YOU.   You have a unique situation with your schooling right now.  It is your challenge and your duty to make it work for YOU.  It won't look like anyone else's education, because you are the only one who can control it.  I am so proud of the way you all have been working and staying with the virtual program.  I think we are trying to find ways to not just survive, but THRIVE!  You all have incredibly creative minds, and I hope that if you have an idea for our class and ways we can keep our instruction going and growing and awesome, you will share it with me.  :)  I am incredibly proud to be your teacher.  Let your wings grow!!

 ** We discussed during last period the rumor that Coco Chanel (who said that quote) was a Nazi spy...   I was ignorant of that when I saw this quote from her.  After doing some research, I see that indeed, there is a possiblity that it is true.  At the very least she had an affair with a Nazi officer, which is very disappointing indeed.  There is some very interesting source material that you can find online supporting the possiblity that this is true.  How sad.  

I am giving you a challenge to find a quote that is just as inspirational, or better, and share it with us!! 

Thanks for starting the conversation guys!!  Context is as relevent today as it was thousands of years ago!!

 

 

Today:  I would like you to spend about 20 minutes coming up with answers to the following questions.  You may use images if you can find them!  You may do the work here, or via email, just please be sure to send me a message so I know where to find it.  Once you have completed this task, you may work on finalizing your anatomy project, which is due on Monday, along with your one-pager.

 

QUESTION:

Describe ONE way in which political structures of Europeans differed from those of the Ottomans in the period 1450-1750.  

Describe ONE way in which political structures of the Aztecs were similar to those in China in the period 1450-1750.

Explain ONE reason that the Mughul leaders constructed impressive buildings for worship and as memorials during the period of 1450 -1750

AP World History Day 1:

Half of you are here and half of you are at home.  My challenge question for you at the beginning of the period is to think of the word "pride."  What are things a person should be proud of?   Think of times in your life when you have felt proud.  Then think of one particular moment of which you are proud.  I want you to remember how you felt in that moment, and I want that to be your goal for our class this year.   Will it take work?  Absolutely.   Will it take dedication?  Certainly.  Will you want to give up?  Maybe.  But don't give up.  It will be worth it.  

Today we are going over our syllabus (located below) and the expectations of class.  You will get a textbook to take home with you, but you will also need to purchase a book for the year.  It is an INCREDIBLE resource for the class.   It is the AMSCO AP World History Modern book.  It will be in the book store for 26 dollars soon.  (Stay tuned for its arrival!)

You may at times feel overwhelmed this year, but don't worry!  I am here for you, and we are goign to conquer this together!  I am so excited to start this new year, and to take on these challenges with you!  I can't wait to get to know you all and to make this the best and most memorable year of school ever.

1952 : The diary of Anne Frank, a Jewish victim of the Holocaust is to be published in English titled "The Diary of a Young Girl". Her diary, later entitled "The Diary of Anne Frank", becomes one of the most popular books in the world and is included in most schools as recommended reading. ( I read this very moving journal after my daughter read it in high school just a few years ago and was amazed at how well it was written under terrible circumstances ) The diary provides a disturbing account of a teenager living in hiding with seven others in fear of their lives in occupied Holland, Anne Frank died of typhus just before her 16th birthday in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp in 1945.

Also on this day, George Washington was inaugurated as our first president!

Your review pages for 3+4 are due today, by the end of the day.  I am working my way through your DBQs and you are getting them back slowly but surely. Make sure you are getting information from College Board about exam day, and if you aren't, then you need to make sure your contact information for them is correct. 

*  On exam day, you must use the Chrome browswer, or Firefox.  The exam Materials DON'T WORK CORRECTLY with Explorer.  This is super important. 

As we get closer to exam day, it is VERY IMPORTANT that you attend our Teams meetings.  From this point on they should be considered MANDATORY.

Have a great day, my great kids!

1967 : Heavyweight boxing champion Muhammad Ali appears for his scheduled induction into the U.S. Armed Forces in Houston, he refused three times to step forward at the call of his name. He is then warned by an officer that failing to answer to his name was a felony punishable by five years in prison and a fine of $10,000. He still refused to budge when his name was called. On the same day, the New York State Athletic Commission suspended his boxing license and stripped him of his title. In 1964 he had failed the U.S. Armed Forces qualifying test because his writing and spelling skills were sub par. However, in early 1966, the tests were revised and Ali was reclassified as 1A. When notified of this status, he declared that he would refuse to serve in the United States Army.

Today in history:

Joan of Arc relieves Orleans (Source)

During the Hundred Years' War, the 17-year-old French peasant Joan of Arc leads a French force in relieving the city of Orleans, besieged by the English since October.

At the age of 16, "voices" of Christian saints told Joan to aid Charles, the French dauphin, in gaining the French throne and expelling the English from France. Convinced of the validity of her divine mission, Charles furnished Joan with a small force of troops. She led her troops to Orleans, and on April 29, as a French sortie distracted the English troops on the west side of the city, Joan entered unopposed by its eastern gate. Bringing needed supplies and troops into the besieged city, she also inspired the French to a passionate resistance and through the next week led the charge during a number of skirmishes and battles. On one occasion, she was even hit by an arrow, but after dressing her wounds she returned to the battle. On May 8, the siege of Orleans was broken, and the English retreated.

 

I hope you all had a fantastic weekend!! 

 

For today, I am attaching a review file for you to enjoy :)  Please read, highlight/annotate, and create a chart for the different parts of the world that are discussed.  You don't have to make a SPICE-T chart just yet, just read and sort the info.

 

Please do this by WEDNESDAY, April 22.  (by the end of the day.)

Thanks for being AWESOME!!

1935 : Twenty of the worst Black Blizzards that occurred throughout the Dust Bowl years happen on a single day often referred to as Black Sunday which turned day into night. Witnesses reported that they could not see five feet in front of them at certain points and the storms traveled thousands of miles across the country dumping the black mess wherever they went. It should be remembered that these storms did not look like a normal dust storm as they were black and given nicknames like Black Dark Blizzards and Black Rollers because visibility was reduced to a few feet. The Dust Bowl years were caused by misuse of land through intensive farming with little thought of soil conservation and years of sustained drought causing millions of acres of farmland became useless, and hundreds of thousands forced to leave their homes.

Hello!

I have been thoroughly enjoying your 'house' assignments!   Thank you for being so creative!  I am attaching a SPICE-T chart for units 1 and 2. Even though you already did unit 1, I think this chart might help you organize your material and help you to understand the types of informatin to include in a SPICE-T chart.  Please use your One pagers and your unit 1 chart and fill this  in the best you can. Also, keep the color coding going!  I would like this to be done by THURSDAY - by the end of the day.

 

Tomorrow during our 'dbq workshop/office hours, I will go over some DBQ wrting skills. Don't worry if you can't make it, I will record the meeting and try to upload it for you.  :)

 

Have a great day!!

It's Friday!

You have all done such an amazing job this week!  I am very proud of all the work you have done on the new information. 

Do you miss one-pagers?  I do!!  I miss seeing the different things you all found from the same information.  And I miss the

wonderful pictures some of you cam up with!

For the weekend, I would like you to do only ONE thing, and then take a BREAK from your computer.  (I intend to!)

I would like you to find the song "We didn't start the fire" by Billy Joel.  Once you have found it, listen to it and try to catch all the references to

the cold war era.  There is a great Youtube video with pictures that go along with the words!  See if you can find it.  It's super interesting.

You can look up the lyrics too, just so you don't miss anything.

Then, make a LIST (more than 3) of the things you find most interesting from that era and why.

BONUS:  Find a contemporary song that does the same thing for today's world. :)

Have some fun with it!

It's not due until MONDAY, so take a braek from your computer.

Thanks for being AWESOME!!

 October 1 (Already?!) 

I hope you all had a great homecoming week!  Now it's time to get back to work.  I have put pages on the One note for a 'mini-one-pager' as we discussed in class today.  One side will be the pages due Wednesday (State building in the Americas) and the other side will be the One Pager material that will be due Monday - State building in Africa.   The pages for the Americas have questions at the end, which should be completed on a separate sheet of paper to be handed in.   You are all doing a terriffic job witht the DBQ work; keep it up!!

Your first AP Multiple Choice assessment is in the books!  Don't worry if you didn't do as well as you had hoped.  We have plenty of time for you to learn

the language and style of AP questions.  If you have any questions feel free to stop by during one of my free periods (my schedule is in the link on my homepage).

Below is the ppt in case you would like to see it again.   Your HOMEWORK for the weekend is to do corrections on the assessment you completed.  Yep.  That's it.  Just corrections. 

Enjoy the weekend!  Next week we are going to be very busy, so buckle up!!
