REMOTE LEARNING - March 16th 2020 - June ?? 2020
Greetings! World History will carry on this week with the agenda and links below. Mr P will be checking his email throughout the day, if you have any questions or comments.
MONDAY June 1, 2020 (P3 & P5) / TUESDAY (June 2, 2020 (P2, P4 & P6)
Lots happening around the nation and world.
Let's take a look at Mass Protests during the Cold War & Today.
Look in your google classroom folder for the link to the doc.
This is a
sample of what it looks like. It is titled:
P? 2020 MASS PROTESTS 2.0
Use the recurring zoom link for your period. We will work on this assignment during Zoom.
Mr P thinks you should be able to finish this during the zoom session. Hence, the Mass Protest Doc is due the evening your period is assigned.
WEDNESDAY & THURSDAY will begin the Final.
Be ready to review your Top 5 Things You Learned this year.
Watch this video
Top 5 Final Doc for student viewing
THURSDAY May 28, 2020 (P2, P4 & P6) / FRIDAY May 29, 2020 (P3 & P5)
OK today we will meet on zoom and work as a class to edit the shared doc for your period.
Look in your google classroom folder for the link to the doc.
This is a
sample of what it looks like. It is titled:
P? 2020 CW Q & As
Use the recurring zoom link for your period. See you there.
TUESDAY May 26, 2020 (P2, P4 & P6) / WEDNESDAY May 27, 2020 (P3 & P5)
Mr P will be available by email or on your period recurring zoom. Zoom is NOT mandatory for Tuesday and Wednesday. Instead, students should watch videos Mr P prepared and do the work explained below.
1)
FINALS VIDEO - Want to know what is happening for the Finals?
Watch this video
Top 5 Final Doc for student viewing
2)
COLD WAR BASICS - Watch the videos below to understand the basics on the Cold War.
A)
Cold War Summary - 7 Minutes
B) Cold War Oversimplified -
Part 1 - 16 minutes &
Part 2 - 17 minutes
C)
Cold War Crash Course - 12 minutes - not as good as A & B but has a few gems
3)
10 COLD WAR QUESTIONS
A) As you watch the videos,
type up at least 10 questions you have about the Cold War using
this doc shared with you in your google classroom folder
B) These questions will be discussed on your period zoom session on Thursday or Friday this week.
C) QUALITY QUESTIONS: You should NOT ask when was the Cold War, since all the videos mention the timeline of the Cold War being 1945-1991. Instead, you can ask timeline related questions for further clarity such as:
a) Why did the Cold War last for 45 years?
b) Was there a point where the Cold War seemed like or could have ended earlier?
NOT REQUIRED but for hardcore students of history and political science.
This video looks at the
end of the Cold War & Soviet Dissolution or Breakup of the USSR. What is interesting is how ordinary people led mass movements to make change possible. This video contains a monotone voice but does a quality job pointing out many of the things Mr P would point out in class. The main point is that you can learn much from the relatively peaceful mass movements discussed in this video. That is, if you value and are interested in such things... which you should. Who knows what the future has in store for you and your generation? This video gives ideas on how to handle things when things to ugly for society.
WEDNESDAY May 20th, 2020 (P3 & P5) / THURSDAY May 21st, 2020 (P2, P4 & P6)

8 Stages to be covered on Zoom (
Wednesday & Thursday)
NOT REQUIRED - If you are interested in learning more about the Holocaust, check out below.
Shoah Foundation has
an excellent archive of video testimony. Videos are both short and
long. Take a look. Dive into this unique history. Again, share back with
Mr P any videos, pictures, and other information you found interesting
and think other students will as well. Thanks.
This week will feature WWII in the Pacific and focus on the use of the Atomic Bomb
NOT REQUIRED - Below is extra material on the A-Bomb.
If you are interested or bored but only have time for 1 of the following supplements below, Mr P highly recommends watching documentary White Light, Black Rain. It will blow your mind.
1) ATOMIC BOMB VIDEOS
A) Political Bomb Decision - Focuses more on WHY? - 60 minutes
or
B) Making of Bomb - Focuses more on HOW? - 40 minutes
2) A-Bomb DEBATE Info
3) MORE A-Bomb Videos
1) BBC Hiroshima Bomb Documentary (excellent extra documentary)
2) BBC Hiroshima: The Day that Shock the World -
Another hour long documentary. This one goes over the step by step,
minute to minute lead up and aftermath of dropping the bomb. Lots of
good little details.
3) Race for the World's 1st Atomic Bomb - 1,000 Days of Fear - This BBC documentary focuses more on the making of the bomb in Los
Alamos, New Mexico and the scientists involved with development and
dropping of the A-Bomb.
4) The Bomb - This PBS documentary looks at the Atomic Bomb from WWII and beyond to the world of today.
5) FOR THE BOMB vs AGAINST THE BOMB - Short Videos providing basics FOR & AGAINST the Bomb
6) White Light / Black Rain --- Entire documentary without subtitles
7) White Light / Black Rain
--- First half with English Subtitles of an excellent documentary on
the dropping on the Atomic Bomb on Hiroshima, Japan August 6, 1945
Highly recommend watching the entire thing
8) Canadian Historian Ward Wilson in this book Myth of Hiroshima argues that the Atomic Bombs did NOT end WWII but Russia's entry into the Pacific War did.
9) NHK Documentary (Japanese TV) uses 'Big Data' to re-create the horrifying day on August 6th, 2019.
10 Hiroshima Survivor's Story in Animation
11) THE COMPLETE HISTORY OF WWII --- Part A / Part B
4) A-Bomb Essay Notes (& (Power Pt)
7a) Kevin Lee's Atomic Bomb Study Guide:
This summarizes some of the big opinions regarding use of the Atomic Bomb.
7b) Amherst Project - HIROSHIMA: A Study in Science, Politics, and the Ethics of War
Old McMurray more detailed book where most of the info comes from for the Kevin Lee Doc
7b) Atomic Bomb Sample Essays
5) APPROVED A-BOMB RESEARCH LINKS
The
links below will help students outside of class with their research,
development and learning of regarding some of the atomic bomb details.
Good essays will make use of the information found at these and other
sites. However, be sure to check your sources and information. Try to
make sure your information is accurate. If you check 10 sources and 8
sources say the bombing of Hiroshima was on August 6, 1945 and 2 sources
say August 5, 1945. Then you can deduce that the bombing was on August
6, 1945. Yet, if you check 1 source and it says August 5, 1945 and you
put that in your essay you are NOT going to get a good score. Get the
picture? Be sure to check your facts thoroughly for the best accuracy.
1) http://www.doug-long.com/ Good starting point that will take you to other related links.
a) Who is who and what did they do? This link may be the most helpful for your essay?
b) Who was against dropping the bomb?
c) Voices of A-Bomb survivors
2) http://www.dannen.com/decision/ Good info but not as expansive as the website listed above.
3) Amherst Project - HIROSHIMA: A Study in Science, Politics, and the Ethics of War
Old McMurray more detailed book where most of the info comes from for the Kevin Lee Doc
4) Wikipedia General Overview
FRIDAY May 8th, 2020 (V-E Day)
Where WWII EXAM questions will come from?
1)
Mr P's WWII Repository
2)
Political Cartoons
3)
Pre WWII / Rise of Fascism Notes & a)
Video Part I b)
Video Part II c)
Video Part III
MONDAY May 4th 2020 (P3 & P5) / TUESDAY May 5th 2020 (P2, P4 & P6)
PHASE 4 - USE YOUR PERIOD WWII REPOSITORY TO REVIEW & STUDY
1) Zoom Meet to discuss Editor Historical Events at scheduled time for your period.
2)
Editors will discuss with P their Historical Events using their Period WWII Repository.
3) Editors should also
pose questions and
make observations about their Historical Topic.
4) Other students can pose questions/comments once Editors & P finish discussing Historical Event
5) Purpose: is to review each of the WWII Historical Topics to provide clarity and understanding
6) Purpose: is to review and prep for the
WWII EXAM at 11:30am - 12:30pm on Friday May 8th.
Ha! Which is actually very fitting. V-E Day is May 8th... V= Victory E = Europe. That is when the war ended in Europe.)
7) Discussion continues
WED May 6th 2020 (P3 & P5) / THURS May 7th 2020 (P2, P4 & P6)
8) Student who miss scheduled discussions should study for the WWII Exam by reviewing the WWII Repository on their own.
PHASE 1: MONDAY (P3 & P5) TUES (P4 & P6) - Watch WWII videos and take notes
PHASE 2: WED (P3 & P5) THURS (P4 & P6)
a) Edit collectively to complete Period WWII Repository during ZOOM session (we wont finish but we should get lots done if we work hard)
b) After Zoom session, students be assigned to be chief editors of at least 2 topics - (ie Invasion of Poland, Fall of France)
c) There will be hopefully at least 4 Editors per topic (an example of a topic is
Invasion of Poland)
d) Students will receive an email so they know which topics they will be editors for.
PHASE 3: WHAT DO EDITORS DO? (ALL STUDENTS WILL EDIT at least 2 assigned historical events)
d) What do editors need to do?
1) Check the slides of their assigned historical topic
3) Once complete, go back and edit... look for mistakes, change awkward answers and sentences, add links to words like
Hitler wanted
Lebensraum so that students can get clarification of words or go deeper into the words and the subject if they want.
4) Editors KNOW and APPLY Orwell's 4 Questions of writing and look at each sentence on their slide and ask themselves:
a) What are we trying to say?
b) What words will express it?
c) Does it make sense?
d) Can it be shorter?
5)
Adding Slide with 2 Images:
P explains video Add a slide below your informational slide. This slide should contain 2 images with captions that encapsulate your historical topic. Some historical events have iconic images that can be used, other events do NOT but you can still get useful images like related maps, photos, newspaper headlines, political cartoons, etc
6) Editors have an easy but difficult task: Summarize a very complex historical event (ie Invasion of Poland) onto 1 slide so that the busy or uninspired and perhaps struggling student can get the basics of that historical event in a quick and accessible manner. Yet, give that slide (thru links to more information) the ability for the inspired and historically hungry students to dive deeper into the subject matter.
7) Editors need to take serious and focus on their topics... editors need to collaborate, weigh in, question, discuss and debate with each other to create the best damn 1 slide summary of their topics.
Editor Phase Due Date = Sunday Night May 3rd
PHASE 4 - USE YOUR PERIOD WWII REPOSITORY TO STUDY
Next phase is for students to start reading thru all the slides and studying for a WWII Exam. (Exam on Friday May 8th - Ha! Which is actually very fitting. V-E Day is May 8th... V= Victory E = Europe. That is when the war ended in Europe.)
PURPOSE OF WWII REPOSITORY
We are creating the ultimate non-linear study guide for WWII. It is clear in P's head. Do you understand the vision behind this period project? We are NOT just doing an assignment and turning it in. If you do understand the vision, then perhaps it inspires you as it does Mr P. This project is never ending. It will be used next year and tweaked and addendum will be made as is always the case with history. But it will be the remote ones of 2020 who will go down in P-Ville history as the founding mothers and fathers of this project. They will be forever known as the ones who made great use of their most awkward times of remote learning.
Damn! P was inspired just writing all that! Let's do this!
Will all be inspired? Probably not, but if you are reading this right now... and thinking, "Hell yeah! Let's do this... it will be fun! It is worth doing!" Then that is all that matters.
Email back to P with your comments, thoughts and questions.
Mucho Thanko!
Have a swell day in the universe!
