WELCOME TO HOME OF P-VILLE by Haseeb Vaid - Check out this website by a 2012 Period 2 Student. Haseeb's plan is to have a more frequently (daily) updated site (unlike this one which is weekly at best). So if info at this site is outdated then check out Haseeb's Home of of P-Ville website.

PRIMARY SOURCES FOR THE INTELLECTUALLY HUNGRY STUDENT
How about instead of doing DBQ essays... creating DBQs for students to analyze and ponder? Just tossing out an idea to the intellectually geometrically odd student who feels they dont fit in the standard square that they are often shoved through. Is this you? Contact P if this sort of stuff interest you.

EXTRA CHINA VIDEOS
Wait! Did you miss class? Did you not understand class? Did you understand class but want more? Well, the following video lectures are for you. Some will find these boring, some will find them informative, some will find them confusing, some will find them useful and all will find them BELOW.
a) Overview of China 1900 to 1949 - Perhaps basic and boring for high school students but it covers the basics. P thinks animating such stuff may be useful and challenging legacy projects. check out this free animation website.
b) Overview of China 1949 to 2012 - What the heck? This much covered and in 7 minutes? What else could a high school student expect or want? There are limitations here. Yet, this is only 7 minutes and does give a decent overview to a high school student, there is much much more to this history. Do NOT be afraid to dig into more on your own. Stumble across good stuff, email P about it.   
c) Video Lecture on China's Cultural Revolution - Perhaps a little dry for some. Yet for those interested in topic, it will be interesting to listen to and consider.  

TED TALKS AND CHINA - Hey future historians, political scientists and economist, this is right up your way. Watch, listen, absorb, ponder, tell others and dare to understand the world you live in.
 
1) Eric X Li: A Tale of Two Political Systems - It's a standard assumption in the West: As a society progresses, it eventually becomes a capitalist, multi-party democracy. Right? Eric X. Li, a Chinese investor and political scientist, begs to differ. In this provocative, boundary-pushing talk, he asks his audience to consider that there's more than one way to run a successful modern nation.

2) Martin Jacques: Understanding the Rise of China - Speaking at a TED Salon in London, economist Martin Jacques asks: How do we in the West make sense of China and its phenomenal rise? The author of "When China Rules the World," he examines why the West often puzzles over the growing power of the Chinese economy, and offers three building blocks for understanding what China is and will become.

3) Dambisa Moyo: Is China the new idol for emerging economies? - The developed world holds up the ideals of capitalism, democracy and political rights for all. Those in emerging markets often don't have that luxury. In this powerful talk, economist Dambisa Moyo makes the case that the west can't afford to rest on its laurels and imagine others will blindly follow. Instead, a different model, embodied by China, is increasingly appealing. A call for open-minded political and economic cooperation in the name of transforming the world.



RUSSIAN REVOLUTION AND CHINESE REVOLUTION VOCAB LIST FOR VOCAB GAME HERE

The following weekly agenda is a guide to what is intended to take place in class this week. However, due to many circumstances, the agenda can get changed. Usually, the agenda is pushed back a day. Thus, what is due on Friday might be pushed back to Monday. Thank you and I hope you appreciate this weekly guide.


1) Student Free Day - NO SCHOOL! If bored, watch this documentary video by a former P-Villian.

WORLD HISTORY SEMESTER II

Greetings and welcome to 2013-2014 school year.

There are a multitude of purposes for this 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)
d) Check out Technical Thompson's Website (P-Alumni Student Class Website)

WELCOME TO HOME OF P-VILLE by Haseeb Vaid - Check out this website by a 2012 Period 2 Student. Haseeb's plan was to have a more frequently (daily) updated site (unlike this one which is weekly at best). So if info at this site is outdated then check out Haseeb's Home of of P-Ville website. Perhaps a student this year can pick up where Haseeb started and keep the student website going.

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.
