//www.alemany.org/apps/classes/336838/assignments/ Class Name: AP World History Per. 3 Instructor(s): Fionnbarr Kelly Location: L9 en-us SchoolSitePro //www.alemany.org/homeworkItem2233353 //www.alemany.org/apps/classes/336838/assignments/ The final is on the "isms" powerpoints. See previous homework attachments from a couple of weeks ago. Just review the terms and definitions and you'll be fine. I've broken up to test into sections of 5, so for example, you'll get 5 "isms" and 5 definitions to match, in each section. They are self explanatory so you'll be able to do a process of elimination for the difficult ones if you don't remember.

I've also done a matching exercise for 20 questions, mostly dealing with the Cold war and recent terms: again should be explanatory if you read the definition. Included in these are Berlin Wall, apartheid, iron curtain, glasnost, ayatollah, Truman doctrine, Al-Qaeda, Tienamen square, Persian gulf war, Warsaw pact, world bank, European union, OPEC, World Trade Organization, Euro currency, Sadam Hussein, Che Guevara, Lech Walesa and Solidarity, Terrorism, Ethnic cleansing. Don't worry, the definitions will guide you. Keep in touch with me over the summer, by email. I'll be making contact with you when results are back in mid July. Yeah!!!!!! Summer time!

]]> Mon, 23 May 2011 18:00:56 PDT //www.alemany.org/homeworkItem2219317 //www.alemany.org/apps/classes/336838/assignments/ Submit an individual proposal that you would like to be considered for completion over the next 2 weeks. The proposal must be APWH related, in the form of something concrete that can assist with effective learning for the in-coming APWH class of 2011-12.

Some ideas below, but you should think "outside the box" too.
Think about what might be needed at the start of the year, in what form. What might be needed at Christmas to keep students somewhat engaged over the break. Same for the revision phase at the end of the year. Tthink about instructional materials that I could use/hand out to students, written, powerpoints, videos, podcast..go as technical as you like. Think about an effective summer pre-course assignment. Think about a study habits guide, how to break up the text and review book. You will need to consider what type of supporting material you can produce to get the desired effect of effective learning to occur. This is a GRADED assignment so the more comprehensive you make it, the higher score you'll get. I will be grading it on the basis of originality, clarity of proposal, evaluation of effective learning and the necessity that all group members will have defined roles to fulfill while you do your project, if its selected.

You will be asked to respond to a specific essay question using "migration" as it's core theme. Migration is the physical movement of people from their region/country of origin to settle in another land/region. The time frame for the question will be 1200-1900 and you will be asked to analyze/discuss the theme of migration in two out of 3 area/region choices I will give you. You must pay attention to change and continuity of course too! Therefore you need to review chapters 14 -27 and look at some of the "push/pull" factors (reasons why, how, when, who and where migration occurred) related to migratory patterns.
