                              Classes

EL World History:

This week, we will continue our unit on the Industrial Revolution.  

Last Week (before Thanksgiving): 

You learned two sets of vocabulary words related to the Industrial Revolution.   

You read a section of your textbook (New Inventions), and took Cornell reading notes.  

Together, we viewed some slides on the Agricultural Revolution, and you answered questions about this essential event that took place before industrialization. 

You watched a video in Edpuzzle, and you answered the questions embedded in the video.

All of these assignments were due on Friday, November 20. 

This Week: 

You will be taking notes on the beginnings of the Industrial Revolution in Great Britain, and you will answer some questions. The questions will be due on Wednesday. 

You will have a quiz on vocabulary related to the Industrial Revolution on Friday, December 4.


US History:  

We are continuing our unit on Industrialization and the Progressives. 

Last Week (before Thanksgiving):   

You read a textbook section entitled "Rise of Industrialism," and completed  a set of questions on the beginning of the industrial era.  

You watched an Edpuzzle video previewing the Industrial Revolution. This was due on Friday, 11-20.  Email me for a reset, if needed. 

I showed some slides (visual evidence) about industrialization, and you took notes on the slides.  Your goal was to evaluate the validity of the saying, "What's Good for Business is Good for America."  

Based on this evidence, you completed a Padlet explaining your evaluation.  

Important Reminder: To get credit, your Padlet comment MUST include evidence/examples about the period of industrialization from the slides and video.    

Both the slide notes and the Padlet were due on Friday, 11-20.

This Week: You will take notes on the great wave of immigration into the US in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.  

You will be watching a video on Ellis Island, the entry point for many immigrants coming to the US from Europe during the period of the Industrial Revolution. 

On Thursday/Friday, we will analyze some political cartoons about immigration -- these are primary sources from the period of Industrialization.  You will focus on analyzing the "point of view" (POV) of the artist.  Analyzing POV is an important skill in the study of history!

 

AP Euro:

The deadline to register for the AP exam was November 11, There is a $40 fee for late signups, but there is no penalty for cancelling.  Sign up for the exam!  

Please sign in to the AP Classroom site, whether or not you are planning to take the AP exam! I will be using some of the material on the site. 

Textbook Pickup:  Please contact Ms. Oliver in the bookroom to pick up "Sources of the Western Tradition" by Marvin Perry.  I will be assigning readings from this book. 

Review the LEQ materials that have been posted in GC. 

Before Thanksgiving: 

We wrapped up the chapter on "Absolutism and Constitutionalism."  Continue to think about these two approaches to governing a modern nation as we move into the 1700s. 

Remember to do some APEH every day.  Read all the questions in the SG and see if you think you could answer them on a hypothetical test. Watch at least one video every day.  If you are taking the AP exam (and, after all, why not?) get an exam prep book and start working your way through it. 

 Thanksgiving Week: 

You started the SG for the Scientific Revolution/Enlightenment. Questions were posted in GC. 

What is "world view?" What do the textbook authors mean by this term? 

AP Videos were also listed in GC.  

To assist you with the many important thinkers of this period, I've posted a rundown of a few of the most significant philosophers.   During this period, "science" (as we define it), and "philosophy" (as we define it) were not separate in people's minds.  Can you explain this (CONTEXT). 

Query: What is absolutism? What were the values of the Enlightenment?  So....what is "Enlightened Absolutism?"

This Week:

We'll discuss the SG from Chapter 15, and we will briefly discuss Hobbes and Locke. 

I will lecture on the Scientific Revolution. The focus is changing "world view." 

New videos are posted in GC. 

The Scientific Revolution directly led to the Enlightenment. Read the excerpt from Alexander Pope's Essay on Man, and answer the question that follows in a short paragraph.  Your paragraph should begin with a topic sentence about the Enlightenment that makes a defensible claim. Support your claim in the body of the paragraph.

I've graded the SAQ on the "Commercial Revolution" and posted scores in Aeries. Comments are shown on the AP Classroom site.    

I have posted material in GC relating to the AP LEQ.  We'll try this form of essay soon, so take a look at this stuff.  The posted items include a rubric and various other support materials. 

Last Week: We started a new chapter on "Absolutism and Constitutionalism." We'll finish this week. 

Your first set of SG questions for this chapter were due last Friday, and I've recorded "stamps" for on-time work.  New questions and a new due date are posted in GC; due this Friday, November 20.    

You were assigned some videos in AP Classroom. They were due on Friday, but I'll check them this week.  Five of the videos were in AP Classroom, and one was in Edpuzzle.  Make a point of watching a video every day.  If I don't assign a video for every day, find a good one on Youtube and watch it.  Crash Course, Tom Richey, Paul Sargeant. 

Remember to always read the whole chapter and review all of the questions and IDs in the SG, even the ones that are not assigned, to check your own understanding. I will lecture on Absolutism, English Constitutionalism and the 30 Years' War.  Then, we'll move on to the Scientific Revolution. 

This Week:   Even more Absolutism and Constitutionalism.  Royal absolutism and constitutionalism are important political developments; they are frequent topics on the AP exam.  You should be able to identify the basic concepts and governing policies for both types of government, and you should be able to cite examples of countries and monarchs.  Why did monarchs/states seek greater control over the nation -- what were their goals and what were the outcomes? 

Read the excerpts from Locke and Hobbes, and answer the embedded questions.  There is a video comparing Locke and Hobbes, as well as a video reviewing Absolutism/Constitutionalism, and one on Peter the Great. The one on Peter is long, so I've given you time to watch it over break. 

You should also be able to describe the policies associated with mercantilism, (and give examples of monarchs/nations).   Both absolutist and constitutionalist governments practiced mercantilism; it is a hallmark of the colonial era. 

I'll have to lecture on the Thirty Years' War this week.  You should acquire a basic understanding of the context and outcomes of the Thirty Years' War.   In addition to my slides, there are two AP videos on this topic, one of which addresses the issue of how to make a "defensible claim" in a history essay.  There is also a Tom Richey reviewing the Thirty Years' War.  I decided to give you points for this, so go ahead and watch it. 

Next Week: The SG for the Scientific Revolution/Enlightenment has been posted in GC.  Questions are listed in the instructions field. 

What is "world view?" What do the textbook authors mean by this term? 

AP Videos are also listed in GC.

I would like to assign a short reading in the Perry book, if everyone has it. If not, I may have to type it or scan it in order to assign it.  I hope you picked up the book
