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!
