Thanks Mozart for being creative... thanks for being an inspiration... thanks for ENLIGHTENING US... thanks for being you!
2) Mozart's 4oth Symphony conducted by the great American Leonard Bernstein
3) Listen to the great American Conductor play and talk about Mozart's 40th Symphony Even if you don't know anything about music, it is still interesting to listen Bernstein talk about Mozart's music because it will give you an appreciation of the complexity and creative intensity of Mozart's music.

2) Who are those strange people waving that wand around in front of the orchestra? Israeli Conductor Itay Talgam gives a splendid talk. Mr P is totally inspired by Mr Talgam and the Great Conductors he presents. How any teacher... any student... or any human not be inspired?
3) Music & Magical Trust. Imagine teachers and students having such a working environment. Watch, listen and enjoy Scottish Conductor Charles Hazlewood talk. Trippy to what he says about South Africans and those of the "West" and how they engage or do NOT engage in music.

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 10% - 15 % 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 Fall semester is usually October 31st (Halloween) and for the Spring semester March 21st (Equinox). Sometimes Mr P does extend the deadline for legacy application process. Pay attention in class for official Legacy Project Approval Deadlines. 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.
WORLD HISTORY UNITS
If the word SOLID is next to units listed below, it means Mr P's unit lessons and previously created Legacy Projects have made the unit pretty complete and Mr P thinks the unit doesn't need much change or improvement. A student can still apply to do a Legacy Project for a unit labeled as SOLID but the chances of getting the project approved is less than if the unit was listed as NEEDED.
If the word NEEDED next to the unit below, then it indicates the unit needs improvements via Legacy Projects.
1st SEMESTER
1) Geography / World Religions & Philosophy (NEEDED)
2) Autocracy & Democracy (SOLID)
3) Middle Ages - American Revolution (NEEDED)
4) French Revolution / Napoleon (SOLID)
5) Industrial Revolution (NEEDED)
6) Nationalism / Imperialism (NEEDED)
2nd SEMESTER
1) Geography & Geo Stats (NEEDED)
2) WWI (SOLID)
3) 20th Century Revolutions & Independence Movements (Russian, China, India, etc) (BOTH - Solid / Needed)
3) Global Depression (BOTH - Solid / Needed)
4) WWII (BOTH - Solid/ Needed)
5) Cold War (SOLID)
6) Contemporary Issues (NEEDED)
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 100 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

Yes, be different from most of your fellow Americans and actually read over and get to know the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. Mr P estimates that around 10% of Americans have actually read the US Constitution. That means in a nation of 300 million, only 30 million have read the document. Of that 30 million, how many have read the Constitution more than once? Half? 15 million? Mr P usually reads over these documents 2 to 3 times each year. Hey, join an elite club of Americanos that have read the Constitution more than once.
