Use
Technical Thompson's Website on the French Revolution Unit for help with Assignments 1-10.
Sketch's Website
has French Revolution Vocab help. Thanks Sketch! Gee, thanks for
making class for students that much more simple. Students should use
Sketch's Vocab help but write down definitions using their own West
High vernacular (your own words). Mr. P will NOT give students credit
if they copy Sketch's definitions word for word. Also, Sketch was known
for pulling off clever tricks like giving the wrong definition at
times to make sure students are thinking and NOT just copying
definitions. It is best to check Sketch's definitions against other
sources.
For students seeking additional reading on the French Revolution, Mr P's Random
French Revolution Book Picks for Students are:
a) Stepping in the pool -
French Revolution for Beginners by Martin McCrory & Robert Moulder
b) Liking the Shallow End -

P Alumni Peymaneh's Quizzes
on the French Revolution. Peymaneh's created these quizzes based
reading from the old World History textbook. Still, the questions are
generally useful for any quiz on the French Revolution. Peymaneh
created this legacy project only after living in the US for 8 months.
Some of her quiz questions do contain grammar and spelling errors. Mr. P
did NOT correct them on purpose. He wanted to also showcase this
legacy project to demonstrate what a student can produce despite facing
academic setbacks (i.e. Learning a new language and adapting to a new
culture). Are you a student facing your own academic setbacks? Mr P
challenges you to step it up like Paymaneh, overcome academic set backs
and create a legacy project that can be used by students in the
future!

ace the Geo Retake and have your original Geo Exam score changed to a

especially if your grade in class is low.

about Sketch. She is about to graduate from college with a degree in
English. Aside from being a college student, she works at Disneyland.
She's traveled to Europe a few times. Mr. P and other teachers like Mrs
Cerda will always positively remember Sketch as a silent-but-deadly
student. She was one who was generally quiet, smart, did high quality
work, cared about learning and obviously was a deep thinker. How will
Mr P and other teachers remember you? Will they remember you at all?

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
