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.

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 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 Fall semester will be October 31st (Halloween) and for the Spring semester March 21st (Equinox). 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 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

REVIEW GAMES

1) Review Game 2008
2) Vocab Review Game

ONLINE VIDEOS TO ENHANCE STUDENT UNDERSTANDING OF THIS UNIT & LIFE

AFRICA
1) Chimamanda Adichie: The danger of a single story
Have your mind stretched and blown away by this Nigerian Woman who will not only stretch your understanding of Nigerians but of all humans. Brilliant speaker! Brilliant topic! Watch and in about 20 minutes your perception of the world will dissolve and become something newer and better. 

2) Jarreth Merz: Filming democracy in Ghana - a Swiss-Ghanaian filmmaker, came to Ghana in 2008 to film the national elections. What he saw there taught him new lessons about democracy -- and about himself.

3) BBC African Business Report - This is why BBC is good. A viewer actually gets some depth about a topic and learns about stuff that is all too often ignored in the American Media Cave. 

4) Dambisa Moyo (Zambian Economist) When Mr P hears about economic stuff happening in Africa, Dambisa Moyo is one person he likes to check in with. This Zambian Economist spits out all sort of interesting current stats about Africa and she usually shares some interesting viewpoints to economic ideas happening on the continent.  

Another Dambisa Moyo interesting short interview

INDIA
1) Shashi Tharoor: Why nations should pursue "soft" power
Great overview of where India is, where it might be headed or where it should go.

2) Sugata Mitra's new experiments in self-teaching - You have to hand it to this guy with regards to trying to get creative with education and making learning magical. 


CHINA

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.

Bored on a Friday night? Want to watch some darn good movies and all related to the Industrial Revolution.

a) Modern Times - Check out this silent film classic with the legendary Charlie Chaplin. The first 3 or 4 minutes might be slow, but it is pretty much one laugh after another after that. This is NOT just pure comedy but Chaplin is also making some pretty awesome commentary about the modern industrial society and all its silliness. This movie should make you think about how silly people live their life today. Hmmm??? Who will make the Modern Times of today? Also, trip out on how darn amazing the music is throughout the film. It goes right along with the emotion and movement of the film. They don't make movies like this anymore.

b) On the Waterfront - This is an American movie classic. It is about the fight of dockworkers to take back their union from the corrupt and intimidating mob. Anytime a dockworker tries to testify in court against the mob, somehow that person "mysteriously dies." Father Barry is a priest who tries to continually encourage the dockworkers to take back their union from the corrupt mob. Totally one of Mr P favorites. Mr P's favorite seen is when the priest gives his stirring speech in the hole of the ship after KO Doogan gets "accidentally killed." It is one of the best movie acting scenes ever!

c) Matewan - This an underrated movie about West Virginia Coal Miners of the 1920s. The movie shows the social, economic and political dynamics of the time and place. It gets into issues like large companies, work rights, unions, scabs, racism, company police (thugs), oppression, propaganda, etc. This is a good one.  It makes the viewer think. (If you can find the movie online, forward the link to Mr P.) This link is just a clip of the screenwriter John Sayles talking about the film.

D) Oliver Twist - This movie is based on the old Charles Dickens novel. It gives a good visual sense of what social and cultural misery the Industrial Revolution brought on to people of Britain. The story follows the rough adventures of an orphan boy with many of the problems and hardships of the Industrial Revolution shown throughout.

1) Mr P listens to this speech each year on this holiday. It is his favorite Martin Luther King Jr speech. It isn't the "I had a dream..." speech, nor is it the Beyond Vietnam which was a darn good one, but it is a little speech (actually a sermon) called "But if not" from November 1967 (about a year before he was assassinated. Click here if you want to listen to it. It usually makes Mr P cry each year when he listens to it. Yet, Mr P is strange and cries at odd things like certain parts during the movie Jaws. Anyway, Happy Birthday MLK and I always remember: "But if not!"
