Grades: I start a new gradebook each quarter. Check Aeries regularly and email me if you have questions.
Google Classroom: Do not move or copy the assignments in such a way that I cannot find/read them in GC. Please don't "turn in" blank documents. This will not prevent the assignment from being "missing" in Aeries.
Late Work: Late work may be eligible for partial credit. Check with me in advance for approval to do late work from previous units. Focus on recent work -- the current unit.
Copied Work: If you turn in work that is copied from any source, I will give you a zero for that assignment. This includes work copied from another student. Do not complete ANY assignment by using the copy/paste function.
Office Hours this week: Monday and Thursday: I will hold "drop in" Office Hours on Monday and Thursday this week. Check for a link in GC.

Classes
EL World History:
We are continuing our unit on World War I (WWI).
Last Week:
You took a map quiz on Friday.
You took notes on the war on the Western and Eastern fronts, and the entry of the United States into the war.
You completed a chart showing the nations that joined the war, and the alliances they joined.
You got started on a textbook section "Effects of World War I."
This Week:
Your notes on the textbook section "Effects of World War I" are due on Wednesday of this week. Remember to copy the vocabulary words (you will find them on the first page of the reading) into the first box on your notes. Be sure to answer the "Lesson Review" questions at the end of the reading.
We will be discussing the entry of the US into World War I.
You will be taking notes on US entry into the war.
You will also read a series of short news articles about President Wilson's decision to enter the war, and answer questions based on the reading.
US History:
Our current unit is: The Great Depression and the New Deal.
Last Week:
We reviewed the "Postwar Turmoil" assignment in class.
Your Google Slides presentation on the 1920s was due on Tuesday of last week. I'm still grading it.
On Thursday/Friday, you took a quiz on WWI and the Twenties.
You got started on the first couple of assignments for the new unit, including an overview reading and a video on President Hoover.
This Week:
On Monday/Tuesday, I showed some slides introducing this unit.
Read the overview reading "Depression Shakes America." Use the Google Doc that is posted in GC to take notes. Be sure you understand the difference between liberal democracy, fascism and socialism. This was due on Wednesday of this week. I "stamped" it on Thursday morning.
Watch the Edpuzzle video about president Hoover and the Great Depression. Email me if you need a reset. Do you think Hoover should be blamed for the Depression? Why or why not?
You will take notes in class on "The Crash and Its Aftermath," and you will finish these notes using the textbook chapter that is posted in GC.
Padlet: Once you have read the textbook material about Hoover's response to the Depression, and watched the video on Hoover, do the Padlet. Make a historical judgment about Hoover (not the same as an opinion). What facts tend to show that he (his actions & ideas) caused the Depression or made it worse? What facts tend to show that he was not at fault?
AP Euro:
AP Exam: There is a $40 fee for late signups, but there is no penalty for cancelling. Sign up for the exam!
Textbook Pickup: Contact Ms. Oliver in the bookroom to pick up "Sources of the Western Tradition" by Marvin Perry. I will continue to assign material from this book. Get it now. .
Last Week:
We are started our study of the "Looooooong Nineteenth Century."
Hub Dates -- you should be able to fill in at least three significant items for the dates 1450 to 1815.
I lectured on the concept of "natural law."
Reading notes (use the form in GC) on the excerpts from the Perry book. Your task is to be able to explain the overall CONTEXT of the nineteenth century, especially the "isms," including liberalism, nationalism, socialism, romanticism, etc.
AP videos for last week were posted in GC. Also: an Edpuzzle video on Realism.
A slide presentation focusing on Neoclassicism, Romanticism and Realism is posted in the "Resources" section of GC.
I lectured on the Revolution of 1830. There is an extra credit Edpuzzle video on this topic.
Edpuzzle video on the years from 1815 to 1848.
Slideshare presentation on the "Dual Revolutions." For your own good, find/watch as many youtube videos on 19th century topics as you can stand.
This Week:
We reviewed the MC test on the French Revolution & Napoleon.
You wrote an SAQ on the causes of the French Revolution on Friday. Real time: 15 minutes.
You are working on Hub Dates (1450 to 1815).
The Chapter 20 SG was due on Wednesday, as were your notes on the Perry excerpts.
AP Daily Videos are posted in GC. There are two Edpuzzle videos on 1848; the longer one is extra credit.
I lectured on 1848. You should be able to compare/contrast 1848 in Austria, Germany (Frankfurt), France. What economic and political forces produced the upheavals of 1848? What were the class-based political alignments? What were the outcomes? You should also be able to explain why violent outbreaks occurred in some regions but not others.
I posted an EC video on the question of why there were no major upheavals in England or Russia in 1848.
The Irish had plenty to rebel about, but they were too busy starving in 1848 to join the revolutionary fun. Given the rise of "liberal" politics in England, what do you think was the British government's response to their misery? Remind yourself about the historical meaning of "liberalism." Your main goal here is to understand the economic relationship between England and Ireland, and the dynamics of English politics in the mid-19th century.
I have posted the SG for Chapter 21, together with an initial set of questions.
