APHG Student Assignments
Neighborhood Inquiry Project
Use the sheet handed out in class to focus on a new part of a sub-neighborhood using the format suggested with a partner. Remember two site visits, one for the OSAE observation with hand-drawn map of area of focus and one for the case study of the special place, person, attraction, etc. with a photograph (can be cell phone picture) or drawing. Two days of class computer editing on June with colleagues, hand in final two page inquiry on June 11th with presentations to full class during finals the week after. For details see handout in folder below, templates for layout, and good example as well. Remember two pages exactly, no more no less! Not accepting any tardies on this at all with a note or not. No time remains in year for tardies to get all grades in.
Let's try to focus on finding a neighborhood for you to explore and do your research on before going out there.
Start with the maps from the folder on Seattle Neighborhood Inquiry and see which neighborhood you would like to explore, and what part of that neighborhood you will try to explore. Look for the center of the neighborhood: business, cultural, and geographic.
Then look for some interesting things to do your case study on like the Wedgwood Rock say in Wedgwood.
Let's start here for some ideas.

Two of the girls have drowned themselves in the well to escape the operation. The four other girls seek "magical protection" (moolaadé) by a woman (Colle) who seven years before refused to have her daughter circumcised. Moolaadé is indicated by a coloured rope. But no one would dare step over and fetch the children. Moolaadé can only be revoked by Colle herself. Her husband's relatives persuade him to whip her in public into revoking. Opposite groups of women shout to her to revoke or to be steadfast, but no woman interferes. When Colle is at the wedge of fainting, the merchant takes action and stops the maltreatment.

Fifth Annual International Film Festival @ Roosevelt
Continues Monday January 12th in Room 107 at 2:30
After working for much of his life as a gardener in his dusty Algerian village, Mounir dreams of improving his family’s fortune and gaining a measure of respect by marrying off his narcoleptic sister, Rym, to a “real gentleman.” However, Rym has other plans—she dreams of marrying Mounir’s best friend, Khliffa, who has secretly courted her for years. When Mounir lashes out at village gossip with a fib that he has promised Rym to a wealthy outsider, she comes out of her sleepy stupor to embrace the rumor and press her real betrothed into action. Beautifully brought to life by a memorable cast—including director Lyes Salem as the cocky but compassionate bumbler Mounir—this heartfelt comedy suggests that when dreams become reality, it’s time to wake up.

If you are finding yourself struggling to keep up here is the reading from class. Questions are in the supplemental reading folder.
Register for Statecraft
Go towww.statecraftsim.com and click on “Create Account.” Make sure to use the unique code for your class, since you’ll need to enter that code in order to enter the correct “world” for this class.
Code is Roughriders1.
Evaluation will be based on participation and cooperation
Country assignments. Assignment will be based on foreign policy attitudes (students will be given a survey and automatically grouped into countries accordingly).
here is the introduction:
“Welcome to Statecraft. I want to warn you about a few things before you start this simulation. First, things usually get very intense, very quickly. Many students spend hours outside of class each week meeting in classrooms, libraries, and even restaurants after school engaged in heated negotiations, war councils, and strategy sessions. It tends to beaddictive because you get to run your own country in a world full of threats and opportunities, and it gets intense because there are real points at stake.
For example, the Global Peace Award is worth 5 points to everyone in the class if no oneattacks each other or attacks Sapphire Island for the duration of the simulation. SapphireIsland is a resource-rich paradise that can be conquered and its resources extracted to make your country wealthy, but it is inhabited by the peace-loving Amaru people. If anycountry decides to use military force against another country or against Sapphire Island, everyone in the class loses the 5 points for global peace, and the aggressor must face the wrath of the rest of the world. There are points to be earned for cooperative goals, like world peace, and competitive goals, like the most militarily powerful country (only one country can win each competitive award). You can rack up a huge point tally through shrewd diplomacy, decisive action, and careful planning, or you can act foolishly and endup embarrassing yourself with zero points. Worst case scenario, your country canliterally be wiped off the map.
You will soon be divided into countries and you’ll take on a role like President, Secretary of State, or Secretary of Defense for your country. Choose the role that best fits yourinterests and skills.
Unlike many simulations, Statecraft gives you complete freedom to name your country, choose a government type, and decide what strategy you want to pursue. In the 11 yearsof Statecraft history, global domination has worked a few times, with one country or alliance “cleaning up” and gaining most of the points, but more often than not would-besuperpowers are taken down and dismantled after becoming too big of a threat to their classmates. You have the freedom to try strategies ranging from isolationism to empirebuilding to collective security, and see what works, what doesn’t work so well, and why.
Here’s the best advice I can give you for doing well in Statecraft. First, read the manual very closely. There are lots of hints in there on how to do well in this game. You will also be quizzed on the manual during Turn Zero and Turn One of the simulation, and those quizzes will affect your grade. Second, look carefully at all of the awards, decide which ones your country is going to pursue, and choose a strategy early on for achieving those goals. Third, never stop gathering intelligence about what’s going on in your world. You can do this through spy missions, but you can also do it through ambassadorexchanges and—most importantly—through talking to and observing other countries’officials. They will reveal to you, intentionally or not, a wealth of information. Finally, don’t try to do everything alone. Form alliances and use international organizations to help you accomplish both global goals and national goals.
I hope you enjoy Statecraft. If you take it seriously and do your best to maximize your point total, you will find real politics happening and discover countless parallels to cases,concepts, and theories in world politics. Simply put, the more committed you are, the more fun it will be, and the more you will learn.’”

APHG Exams )
Please remember that APHG style exams are difficult because of the style of questions and the time crunch. So at this point if your scores are at least 50% of the answers correct you are in the ballpark for where you should be for now. That would be 35/70. Please try to disregard that that is a failing grade in FUSION. It is a passing grade for university credit on this type of exam. This is practice after all for the big APHG exam in May. BREATHE!

4. Finally. Find someone in your family, an elder perhaps, to tell you stories about life cycle practices in your family historically and currently practiced. Come prepared with a series of questions until they start to tell you stories. Ask them for sure what they participated in with other families when they were younger or even your family.

Extra Credit Film on Monday B is for Boys
The Sixth Annual RHS International Film Festival
Room 107 Monday 10/27 @ 2:30)
“B is for Boy” ( http://www.siff.net/festival-2014/b-for-boy ) From last year’s SIFF
In Chika Anadu's award-winning debut film, Amaka, a 40-year-old Nigerian woman, is expected to produce a male heir. But when the baby dies in utero, she desperately searches for a solution that would keep her husband from taking a second wife.Amaka, a middle-class woman in contemporary
Nigeria, is nearing 40 and is expecting her second child. Her seven-year-old daughter is a pride of her life, but in Nigerian Igbo cultural tradition, if a woman is unable to conceive a male heir, the husband is expected to take a second wife. With Amaka's mother-in-law breathing down her neck and a proposed second wife already invading the household, Amaka has a secret ultrasound. The joyous news of a baby boy is marred a short time later by the news that the child has died in utero. Desperate to keep her family together, Amaka conceals the tragedy and sets in motion a plot to have a male heir by her due date at any cost. Debut filmmaker Chika Anadu explores a controversial topic with an elegant and moving drama featuring an exceptional performance from lead Uche Nwadili and a strong supporting cast of largely first-time actors. In a country known primarily for cheaply produced Nollywood cinema, B for Boy raises the bar with an honest, affecting portrait of a society which screams modernity but whose traditions may give an impression to the contrary.
