ANNOUNCEMENTS:

- AP Students I made a few clarifications to the instructions and DBQ rubric. Make sure you red instructions carefully. Also, you should have already done the following survey, if not do it right now!
AP Questionnaire Link
For WH10 students, this is our last formal unit. After this unit we will do a small online end of year project. Please keep up and email me if you have concerns or questions.
- All classes, remember, please follow instructions carefully and check your grades. Please don't wait if there is an issue; let me know ASAP!
WH10 Classes ONLY! (5th, 6th, 7th, & 8th periods) Please do the following to complete class for Friday 1st, May:
- You should have your portfolio checklist. We are going to add the following to that list today:
16) May 1st Reading 34.4 - Latin America since 1989

AP Classes ONLY! (3rd & 4th) Please do the following to complete class for Thursday 30th, April:
- Please complete the Unit 3 Review Check from last post and share it with me in Google Docs or print it and share it with me as a picture. The first option is by far the easiest. This is due TODAY! I will be going through these, answering questions, and grading them tomorrow. Here is the link again: Unit 3 Review Check
IMPORTANT: If you are having issues with your partner, let me know so I can help solve your concerns. You will not be docked for something your partner should have done.
- Again, here is the rubric for the DBQs. If you prefer the official document, there is a link for the official rubric as well. Commit these requirements to memory:
Detailed DBQ Rubric (Written in my words)
College Board Issued Rubric
IMPORTANT: Although the actual test will have only 5 documents to analyze we will be analyzing ALL the documents as we would for a normal DBQ. This will give us more practice and that way the actual test is easier.
- Today we will prepare and analyze documents for Unit 4 so we can write another practice DBQ. You will have two options and you can choose which DBQ to write. You do not have to write both. Today we will focus on analyzing the documents for the DBQ you choose. Please follow the instructions carefully:
1. Familiarize yourself with the prompt and the documents for the DBQ you choose by reading through them. Remember, you are NOT writing the essay today:
Unit 4 DBQ Option A - Prompt and Documents
OR
Unit 4 DBQ Option B - Prompt and Documents
2. Using the following guide, analyze all of the documents using the SOAPS method. It is not necessary or even possible to get answers on every part of the SOAPS, but you should do as much as you can. You should actually write things down, you can use a physical piece of paper or make a Google Doc.
Guide to SOAPS Analysis
3. If you get stuck, have questions, or do not understand something research it or email me. I will help you!
4. Have your analysis ready for next time so we can write the essay. You do NOT have to begin actually writing until next time, but you can start today if you wish..
Thank you.

However, beginning Saturday 4th through Sunday 12th I will NOT be available nor will I be answering emails. I will resume work on Monday 13th, April.

I will provide more details and we will practice DBQs for each review unit from now on. Do not worry! Things are going to be great for this exam. Enjoy your break and I will provide more info later.
WH10 Classes ONLY! (5th, 6th, 7th, & 8th periods) Please do the following to complete class for Monday 13th, April:

Second, pay careful attention to the vocabulary (bolded terms) in the review. They are not the only ones, of course, but they cover major ideas and concepts. Develop a way to go through them and make sure you KNOW them and can explain them in detail.
Third, here are several videos that you should also use. You do not have to watch every single second and it is not necessary to take detailed notes on each one. However, they are an excellent source to recap main ideas from the unit. You should take time to go through them.

Wednesday 1st and Thursday 2nd, April: (WH10) Nationalism Around the World & (AP) Practice Essay for Unit 1 Review
On Wednesday 1st and Thursday 2nd, April I am going to ask World History 10 students to begin looking at nationalism and independence movements around the world starting after WWI and the AP World History students will be completing a practice review essay for Unit 1. Please read all announcements and foll all instructions carefully:
SOME ANNOUNCEMENTS:
- First, I want to say how much I am impressed with the those of you have completed your work and are keeping up with what I am expecting. These are unusual and difficult times and your work is noticed and appreciated. Also, I am dependent on your honesty through this crisis and this is one of those moments that reveals our moral character as individuals and as a community. Thank you to those who are being honest, because it will be you who pull us through this.
- Second, please do NOT ignore, put off, or avoid any issues, concerns, or problems you may be having with World History. There is absolutely nothing that we can not resolve, if you talk to me!
- Third, next week is Spring Break. I am not expecting you to do ANYTHING for this class during the break. Of course, you are free to do so, if you choose. However, beginning Saturday 4th through Sunday 12th I will NOT be available nor will I be answering emails. I will resume work on Monday 13th, April. I really, really hope that you can take a break as well. If you have concerns during the break, do not worry and we will address them when we return.
WH10 Classes ONLY! (5th, 6th, 7th, & 8th periods) Please do the following to complete class for Thursday 2nd, April:
- If you have not done PROGRESS CHECK #1 from the last post, do so ASAP! If you are new to the class, you do not need to do this.
- If you are new to our class, you will need to download what we call a Portfolio Checklist, the link is just below. Put your name on it and ignore #s 1-8 and just begin with #9 (see below) For those of you who are not new, you should have one already and filled out 1-8. Please see previous posts, if you are missing anything.
Link to Portfolio Checklist
- On your portfolio checklist, please add the following:
9) Apr 2 Reading Guide 29.1 - Nationalism in the Middle East
- To begin our look at the next part of our unit, we need to briefly recap some things from the Ottoman Empire, but there is a lot of new info here as well. Print or copy into your Google Drive the following assignment and have it completed by next class (Monday 14th, April). I would recommend knocking it out by this Friday before break.
World History 10: Reading Guide 29.1 - Nationalism in the Middle East
- Thank you. The rest of this post is for AP.
AP Classes ONLY! (3rd & 4th) Please do the following to complete class for Wednesday 1st, April:
- If you have not already sent me verification for the portfolio work (not review work) you have done since the school dismissal, you need to do that ASAP! This work is a required part of your 4Q grade.
- For our review practice essays I am pairing you up with another person. Most of you will be in a 3rd/4th period partnership. Please check the list below and note that blue is 3rd period and red is 4th period. Notice the email address and send your partner an email making sure you are in contact with each other. I am only allowed to share school issued emails, so if you prefer another email, you will have to work that out with your partner.
Class Partners and Emails
- For our first practice essay, we are going to revisit the Compare/Contrast essay. Comparing and contrasting is a critical thinking skill. Please create a new Google Doc and use the following rubric to write your essay. You should challenge yourself and write all that you can without using notes or outside help. If you get stuck, you may reference your work or review materials; however, remember that on the test you will NOT be able to do so.
Prompt and Rubric for Comparative Essay
IMPORTANT: Include your name and period in the document name and at the top of the document itself. Do NOT include other headings or information as they are not necessary. You need a minimum of 2 full pages of writing, double spaced, but no more than 3 pages.
- When finished you will share your essay with your partner and he or she will do the same. I would recommend that you do NOT give each other editing rights. Simply copy each other's essays into your drives and edit from there like you do with the documents I share. Next, using the rubric, grade your partner's essay thoroughly and be honest with them. Remember, since it is a Google Doc you have copied you can highlight stuff, edit, etc., etc. When finished, share your grading and suggestions with them.
- Have this done by Friday 3rd, April so we can enjoy Spring Break without work!
- You will be sharing these essays with me as well, but not yet. On Friday 3rd April I will give you further instruction on how I want you to verify participation in the Unit 1 Review and this practice essay writing.
- As always, I am here if you need help or have questions of any kind. Do not hesitate to send me an email. If you have concerns with your partner, let me know and we will work it out
Thank you.
