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 So if info at this site is outdated then check out Haseeb's Home of of P-Ville website.

WWII EUROPE ASSIGNMENTS are listed at Technical Thompson's Website. At this student website, students can find assignment word documents, some power points and other supplementary information on the WWII unit from last year.





























Mr P's favorite WWII Film is called THE GREAT ESCAPE. He usually watches it after school this time of year. He has stopped mentioning it in class because so few have actually showed up to watch it. Check it out on your own or find out if P is watching it during P7 Cinema anytime soon. 





























































































Ask Mr P to talk about Civilization and Its Discontent. 
(Really interesting stuff but... Cancelled - Lack of time. Perhaps for P7. Seems like a bunch of good lessons this year have been cancelled due to lack of time. Too bad... too bad.) 
























Get out of the office and into the sunshine



































Summer is coming!

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.

P OLYMPIC ORGANIZATIONAL INSTRUCTIONAL VIDEO

This video gives a general idea of some of the organizational planning needed for the P Olympics. King P can envision an even more thorough, detailed and upbeat video than this one. Hmmmm...? Perhaps there are some qualified and inspired citizens out there who would want to undertake such a project? Did someone say Project? As in: Legacy Project? Hint! Hint!
