Have a Good Summer!!!
Class Schedule & Assignments - The Class is Working on Preparing for the Final Exam. The Final Exam will be in two parts: a section of multiple choice questions and a video project. The multiple choice part of the exam will take place during the exam period. The video project is due on the the last day of classes (June 15, 2018).
The multiple choice part of the Final Exam will be based on the Final Exam Review Reading. This can be found by clicking on the "Final Exam Review" on the web page Navigation Bar. The class will be taking a series of final exam review quizzes between now and the Final Exam.
The video project is to make a 3 - 4 minute video about a historic figure or event that the class has covered in the second half of the year.
This is a list of possible topics (check with me if you want to do a person or event not listed here):
People - Joseph Stalin, Adolf Hitler, Mao Zedong, Mohandas Gandhi, Winston Churchill, Ayatollah Khomeini, Fidel Castro, Mikhail Gorbachev, Nelson Mandela, Deng Xiaoping
Events - Russian Revolution, Great Depression, Holocaust, Cuban Missile Crisis, Fall of Berlin Wall, Islamic Revolution, Collapse of the Soviet Union, Fall of the Apartheid System.
Students are currently writing the scripts for their video - their script should be 300 to 400 words. Their scripts should be based on answering three questions.
If the documentary is about a person:
1. Who was the person and what was their background?
2. What did the person do that was so important?
3. What effect did the person have on the world?
If the documentary is about an event:
1. What are the causes of the event?
2. What happened in the event?
3. How did the event affect the world?
