Greetings and welcome to 2008-2009 school year.
There are a multitude of purposes for this portion of the website.
1) Students can check homework (HW)
2) Parents can check homework
3) Students (especially absent) can find out about what happened in class.
4) Parents can get a sense of what is going on in class.
5) Students and parents can find out about upcoming exams, quizzes, projects, etc.
While this information can be helpful, parents and students should NOT ONLY rely on this portion of the website for information pertaining to World History. Students should:
a) Attend class and pay attention to instruction
b) Exchange phone numbers and emails with more than one trustworthy student
c) Start a class blog to communicate about class matters (students have been doing this for the past few years now)
Due to various restrictions like lack of time, no budget for secretaries and website masters, as well as a need to attend to personal matters, Mr. P does NOT always have this portion of the website updated. He tries his best. Yes, not very far back in history there were no such thing as websites and whatnot. Mankind has survived for thousands of years without the internet and other technological 'wonders' and I suppose we can continue to do so. Think of this website as an 'extra' and not a necessity. Regardless, I hope that you still find this portion of the website helpful this year.

WOW! Here is some super assistance from Lauren Stoudt's 2005 Legacy Project . Gee, isn't it great that old former students are helping current students like you? Hmmm...? One day you will be an old former student. What help will you leave behind for future students? Lauren left this great power point review for you. Once again, what will you do to help future students? That is something worth thinking about. That is something worth doing!
Here is Nesma's cool Autocracy & Democracy jeopardy review game created by a P Alumni in 2004. Back when Nesma was in Mr P's class, she lost her Autocracy and Democracy Unit packet. She put this useful power point together, to not only make up for her lost work, but also to help future students. Well, the future is now here and you get to enjoy this little fun review game. What fun review games are you going to create for future students?

1) It is coming... it is coming back.
2) Most Radical Nerds...?
This Post was a massive break through in P-ville Educational History. Mr P's great Korean friend Mike C helped Mr. P learn and figure out how to post worksheets, powerpoints and videos on to his website. Mr. P firmly believes the school district or tax payers should pay people like Mike C to help teachers like Mr P with technological stuff (like websites). Work that is darn useful and meaningful should be paid for.
It is 1:54am and Mr P is now going to go to sleep. It has been a long night of computer work, which Mr P hopes will benefit his students by maximizing their learning experience while in his class. Hmmm...? Yet, do they care? Will they care? Does anyone care? I wonder... Sometimes I think about what life might be like if I left school everyday at 3:30pm and went to bed before midnight.
All this makes me think of the old quote by Gandhi "What you will do is insignificant, but it is important that you do it."
If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.

Autocracy vs Democracy is the next unit. Students will spend about 2 weeks on this unit. There will be a total of 7 assignments. At the conclusion of the unit, students will turn in their unit packet (assignments 1-7) for points. Each assignment should be completed as they are assigned during the unit. Below is the order of the assignments 1-7 so that students can keep their unit work organized.

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!

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 assistants to demonstrate how to print out worksheets so that you can do it in the future.

ii) Autocracy & Democracy Timeline
iii) Autocracy & Democracy Historical Figures Front Page includes John Locke & Back Page includes King Louis XIV
b) Having trouble printing the 3 worksheets above? Well, try printing the worksheets this way. Click here and print out handouts to the next unit.
c) How can worksheets fit on to a page?
i) Click above on specific link to a worksheet
ii) Once a new window appears with the worksheet, scroll over the worksheet with mouse, right click and then copy worksheet.
iii) Paste copied worksheet onto new document using microsoft word or powerpoint.
iv) Next, use mouse to stretch worksheet to fit on the entire page.
v)Print
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 assistants to demonstrate how to print out worksheets so that you can do it in the future.
