Week of 16 - 20 December

World History - B and D Period

5 DAYS LEFT UNTIL VACATION!

Monday we will finish up our notes on the Enlightenment and begin a discussing the French Revolution. After the American Revolution succeeded, France was eager to put ENlightenment ideals into effect in their country, too, but it quickly turned into a very violent scene. For homework, students will read a short packet and timeline on the French Revolution, and then answer some short questions on it. Available HERE, and HERE (timelime), due Wednesday. Here's a scene from Les Miserables depicting some of the uprisings that took place:



Vive le revolucion!!!

Tuesday we will finish up the movie on the French Revolution, as well as the question sheet, which will serve as your notes on the Revolution, and are available HERE.



Wednesday we will briefly go over the rise of Napoleon as Emperor of France, and then dicuss any questions on this Unit. For homework, students will study for the Unit Test tomorrow, on Governments, the Political Spectrum, the Enlightenment, and the French Revolution.

Thursday we will have the test! Let's go out on a good note, ladies and gents. Work hard, it pays off. NO HOMEWORK TONIGHT!!!

Friday we will have a relaxing class, and maybe even play some games........Maybe. Happy Holidays!!!

US History I - A Period

5 DAYS LEFT UNTIL VACATION!

Monday and Tuesday we will be receiving a visit from the School Resource Officer, Officer Higgins:

The Plymouth SROs, protecting our schools. (Officer Higgins on the right)

He will be talking to the class about the Bill of Rights, because as a police officer, he knows the many amendments protecting people's freedoms better than most people do! Any students with outstanding warrants need not attend class. (Kidding.) For homework on Monday night, students will look up and identify Amendments 13, 18, 21, 22, and 26. For Tuesday night, students will be assigned a "Power" and will have to use their resources to identify just what kind of power it is (State, Federal, or both) and be prepared to tell the rest of class on Wednesday. Also, current events due on Friday, 1 of your choice! 

Wednesday we will be discussing the difference between State and Federal Government, and we will define Delegated, Implied, Reserved, and Concurrent Powers. For homework, students will study!!!!! Students may use a 1-sided index card (3x5 - no bigger) for any notes they want to use on the test. Happy federal holidays!!! (Joke).

Thursday we will have the Unit Test!!!!! Let's finish out strong, ladies and gents. Study the Constitution. And a friendly reminder that 1 Current Event is due tomorrow!

Friday we will play some games and relax before vacation..............maybe. Hehehe, I guess no one will know until the day comes. ;)
