Forgot to put homework on the board! 

Read pgs 985-1001 - It's about the Global Impact of the Great Depression (repeats a lot from USII) and the Rise of Stalin, Mussolini and Hitler. 

 

Semi-Plan for This Week

Monday - WWI
HW: Read 'World War in World History' - blog post: To what extent was WWI a global war?  Why did most Asians fight for the allies if they were pro-German?

Tuesday - Finish WWI Review
HW: Study!

Wednesday - Test Ch 32-34

APWH April Vacation

For vacation, in lieu of the traditional assignment - please read/take notes on Ch 24 - WWI.  We will discuss this in class on the Monday we come back, and the test for Chapters 32, 33, and 34 will be on the 29th (the Tuesday after we come back).

If you would like, you DO have the option of completing the traditional vacation assignment page as an extra credit essay.  If you choose not to, you will not be penalized.  If you do it and do super bad on it, you get what you get and you don't get upset.  This should be done the exact same way the others have been done (500 words etc), Turabian citation, etc.  

It is due on the Monday we come back! 

In Class Scramble

Scramble For Africa

Instructions:

Claim territory according to your goals.

Begin with Portugal and then Great Britain, France, Germany, Spain, and then finally, Italy. Place a flag on the map to claim territory until all countries have used up their paper.
You may place over another country’s claim.
Once all countries have claimed territory, resolve any conflicts through wars.

Rules for WAR:

Wars are conducted through Rock, Paper, Scissors.
Best 2/3 rounds wins, and keeps the territory.
Loser must remove their square and cannot place it back on the map. Your soldiers are dead.

Homework 4/15

Read pgs 927- 938 (finishing the reading for ch33)

Your homework for vacation is to read ch 34 and take notes on what you read! (Ch 34) We will talk about it and it will be on the test on Wednesday 4/30.

Homework 4/14

Grab a map of the world, and using pgs 918, 923, and 926 create an ultimate map of imperialism (who has what land where).

You will need a key to keep track of all the imperial powers.  

HW for your blog:  

• Post any questions you have in regards to the map that you've created.  Any 'huh'? moments? 
• Reading: pgs919-927 (plus the white man's burden) 
• Answer the question in italics on pg 913 about WMB (white man's burden). 
• You can do all your blog postings in one post.  

Homework 4/11

Chapter 32 Notes (+ Ottoman notes)
Bloody Sunday Video - Hollywood movie vs. actual information

Read pgs 909-915 (Imperialism in Ch 34)


Political Cartoon:
Create a political cartoon that represents a problem/reform of your region (Japan, Ottoman Empire, Russia, China) - it should not incorporate all areas in Ch 32. Cartoons should be visible, but not huge--a regular sheet of paper will do! (81/2 x 11).  Most political cartoons are not like cartoon strips with multiple panels, they exist in only one panel. Political cartoons work on a metaphorical level, not a literal level, so you can feel free to exaggerate to make a point!

In addition to your cartoon, post two paragraphs on your blog - one explaining the historical significance of the event you depicted and one explaining your cartoon itself.

Homework 4/7

Read about the Decline of Russia (887-892) and the Conflicts between China and Europe (892-900)

Test will be on Wednesday, April 9th!

Homework 4/4

Skim pgs 853-854 and 864-865 (O! Canada!)

Although it won't be on the test on Tuesday, we need to move on content wise - for the weekend, read 879-886 and answer the italics question (about the Young Turks) on your blog.

Homework 4/3

I am the WORST homework-poster of them all.. here is a link to the Communist Manifesto, written by Karl Marx in 1848.  SUPER lengthy - skim it, choose a few parts to read and enlighten yourself upon on of the most influential documents in world history.

Homework - We're talking about the idea of Industry and what industry can do to a society, so please skim pgs 825 - 836 and read 836 - 842.

We will also have a test next week - Tuesday? on Ch 28, 29, 30 (and small # of pgs from 31).  It will be 1/2 of a regular test (35 questions) but will also include outlining an essay (any essay).

I will get your DBQ back by Monday - Game changer...after today we have 26 days of school until the AP test.  From this point on, you could be the recipient of ANY essay at ANY time.  Brush up on your essay rubrics!

Homework 4/1
