RANDOM INTERNATIONAL TRADITIONAL NEWS FROM PNN

So to prepare for the Holiday Season and being that this is the World History section of the Website, you all have to check this one out. Apparently, the Swedes have this wacky Christmas tradition of making a giant horse or goat from like a hay material after the harvest season. The Swedish city of Gavle claims to make the biggest giant goat or horse in the world. It is suppose to be a traditional symbol of Christmas in Sweden. The funny thing about the giant horse or goat is that it is suppose to be up through Christmas but each year the giant horse or goat never makes it. Each year some phantom Swede comes along and lights the giant horse on fire. Each year security is stepped up and each year the burning of the giant goat gets more elaborate. Supposedly, it is big news in Sweden. The smirking newsman will come on TV and say something like, “Well, the giant goat got it early this year” or “Although it lasted longer than usual, the giant horse has suffered the same fate once again.” I hear that most Swedes laugh about the whole thing. Yet, the security tries to take it serious by preventing a burning and have the giant goat or horse make it to Christmas. This year security has a 24 hour web-cam monitoring things. Will the security protect the giant goat until Christmas or will the same wacky burning tradition continue? Be sure to monitor this goofy international story during the holiday season. Lycka Till Giant Goat! ?

Nationalism can be good and it can be bad!





Yet, can imperialism be both?

USEFUL LEGACY PROJECT WEBSITES

a) Assign # 3 asks students to do Basic Outlines for each of the 9 Themes of the unit. Be sure to do outlines for each of the unit themes. Go to Brandee's Legacy Projectfor help with your theme outlines. Each theme should contain the following:

WHO:
WHAT:
WHEN:
WHERE:
WHY:
HOW:

NOTE: Key Terms
CONNECT each theme with the priovious and next theme.

ALERT: Some of Brandee's info may be wrong! So double and triple check your sources. This is pretty easy to do. Just make sure you write these simple outlines for each theme. The Theme Outlines all combine to form Assignment #3. Do a good job with the outline. Mr. P might let you use them on the unit exam. Students should complete each theme outline for homework based on whatever the most current theme covered in class. Hence, all outlines will be due at the end of the unit.

The Themes are:

1) Middle Ages
2) Renaissance
3) North Renaissance
4) Exploration
5) Reformation
6) Scientific Revolution
7) Enlightenment
8) Spread of Enlightenment
9) American Revolution

f) Also, think about creating a new project or improving an old project that will be useful for future students or Mr P. The deadline for the Legacy Project is before Halloween. All students must have legacy project approved by Mr P before Halloween. All students not approved of doing a Legacy Project by Halloween will take the Semester Final Exam instead of doing the Semester Final Project. Fair Warning to all Test-Hating Students: Do NOT wait until the last second to get approved or run the risk of NOT getting approved at all for legacy project. It is best to have many ideas typed up and turned into Mr. P as soon as possible (ASAP).

SEMESTER FINAL

LEGACY PROJECT OR FINAL EXAM

Each semester students will have a choice of taking either the Final Exam or doing a Legacy Project as their ‘semester’ final. The semester final (exam or project) will equate to 20% - 25 % of the student’s semester grade. There is an application and qualification process that involves doing a legacy project. All students who do not apply or qualify to do a Legacy Project will partake in Final Exam process as a means of fulfilling their semester final obligation for the course. Written below are the specifics for both the Legacy Project and Final Exam.

LEGACY PROJECT

There are several purposes for students to apply to do a legacy project.

1) Students want to create a project to assist & inspire future students’ learning.
2) Students actually want to make a difference and contribute to the betterment of Mr. P’s class.
3) Students prefer to create a project versus taking an Exam for a final.


All student interested in doing a Legacy Project for their semester final must apply and qualify to do a legacy project. To apply and qualify for the Legacy Project, students must submit at least 3 typed proposals to Mr. P. In addition, students are required to schedule a brief meeting with Mr P after school to explain their legacy project proposals. Basically, students are to ‘sell’ their legacy project idea to Mr. P. Students will “qualify” to do a legacy project, if students convince Mr. P of the usefulness of their Legacy Proposal(s). Students should bring their 3 typed legacy proposals and explain them to Mr. P. At the after school meeting, students MUST do the following:

A) Be prepared, articulate and brief (Mr. P is a busy guy and doesn’t like to waste time)
B) Quickly & clearly explain to Mr. P your Legacy ideas (Mr. P has to be able to understand what it is)
C) Explain how it will be beneficial to future students, Mr. P, etc.
D) A typed working schedule that explains how you will be completing the project
E) Samples that demonstrate your ability to do certain kinds of work (i.e. your artwork, video equipment, computer skills or previous projects your done).


The deadline to apply and qualify for doing a Legacy Project as a student’s “Final” for the semester will be October 31st (Halloween). If a student does not apply and qualify by this date, the student will then, by way of default, partake in the Final Exam process at the end of the semester. If a student qualifies and agrees to do a Legacy Project, then he/she is committed to doing a Legacy Project. They will not be allowed to change from doing a Legacy Project to taking the “Final Exam.”

GROUP or SOLO WORK: Mr. P highly recommends that students work solo on their legacy project. Once again, he advises students do NOT work with other students. However, students might be allowed to work with others if they can justify the need to have more than one person do the project. Yet, the group work limit is 3 students. Students may also work with students in Mr. P’s other World History classes. Most importantly, if students qualify to work in a group it is entirely their choice and responsibility to do so. Mr. P will NOT, once again, will NOT hear any grievances or feel any sympathy pertaining to group work problems. Group work is a choice of the students. Again, Mr. P suggests students do NOT work in groups. Yet, students are old enough to make their own decision on such matter.

LEGACY GRADING SYSTEM:

A Grade:

Most likely any legacy project that will be or is actually used in Mr. P’s class achieves an “A” grade. If Mr. P will not use it in the future, it probably is NOT going to get an “A” grade. Legacy projects rarely take 1 day or 1 weekend to complete. Students with a desire to achieve an “A” should put in a fair amount of time and effort to complete their legacy project. However, time and effort does NOT necessarily equate to an “A” grade. Students can work very hard and still not achieve an “A” grade. The project should be of the utmost quality. It should also be ready for classroom use. Usually any needed adjustments that Mr. P has to do will deduct from the grade of the Legacy Project. All students witness how Mr. P runs the class on a daily basis. Students should become aware of what is “needed” and what “works” with regards to legacy projects. Also, “A” legacy projects are well labeled, packaged, easily stored or accessed. Presentation of the Legacy Project is memorable. It is NOT just another boring final presentation. Fellow students believe the project is useful and of quality.

B Grade:

Usually a good legacy project but does not do all the requirements listed for an “A” grade. Most likely, a “B” grade results because Mr. P will have to “adjust” the project so that it can be used in class. “B” rate Legacy Projects lack the originality, usefulness and quality in comparison to “A” rate Legacy Projects. Presentation of the project is above average and is somewhat memorable.

C Grade:

Results when the Legacy Project will NOT be used in the classroom. It does NOT fulfill the general standards of a “B” grade. Presentation of the project is average and is NOT memorable.

D Grade:

“D” stands for Disappointment. This project is obviously substandard to what is expected of Legacy Projects. It appears to be done quickly and with substandard care. It will NOT be used in the classroom. Presentation is unprepared, robotic and/or boring.


F Grade
:

Produces an overall gross Legacy Project. There is a sense of making a mockery out of doing the Legacy Project. Unorganized and poor presentation. If anything, this project serves as a sample of what NOT to do for a Legacy Project.



FINAL EXAM

The Final Exam will take place the day of the scheduled final in late January for the fall semester and in June for the spring semester. The Final Exam will consist of approximately 200 multiple choice questions. The questions will be related to the unit topics covered during the semester. Students are welcome to pick the Final Exam as their semester final.

180 – 200 correct; 90% - 100% = A
160 – 179 correct; 80% - 89% = B
140 – 159 correct; 70% - 79% = C
120 – 139 correct; 60% - 69% = D
0 – 119 correct; 0 - 59% = F

d) Still, having problems? Try your best. If you cannot manage, call someone in class and politely ask if they could print out extra copies for you. On the flipside, if you can print out the worksheets without a problem it would be generous of you to print out an extra set or two of worksheets for those who have problems printing the worksheets out. Those who are in need of worksheets would be MORE than willing to return the favor to those who bring an extra set or two of worksheets.

e) Finally, if your are reading this and still cannot figure out how to print out the worksheets do NOT stress out. Simply come to class and ask Mr. P (when he is free) or some of his tech assistance to demonstrate how to print out worksheets so that you can do it in the future.

WEDNESDAY Sept 21, 2005

1) Nader's Island
2) Intro to Auto & Demo

HW

a) Click here and print out handouts to the next unit. Start to work on Autocracy vs Democracy Terms

b) Sketch's wonderful website reviews the terms for Autocracy & Democracy. However, Sketch was a tricky one sometimes. She might have purposely placed wrong information in some of her definitions for the Autocracy & Democracy terms. In addition, avoid being an academic robot and be sure to write the terms using your own words. Students cannot and should not want to compete with copy machines. Hence, do not just copy definitons onto your worksheet. In short, be a human, think, look up definitions from various sources (Sketch's website and your book are only two sources) and then write the definitions for each term in your own words. This is pretty basic stuff. Good luck and have fun thinking!
