Assignment #3 This is Your Europe
(Assigned: 9/1, Due 9/12)
One of the goals of this course is to foster a better
understanding of the world from a European standpoint. Each student will be
assigned a European country and will need to complete several assignments about
their assigned country during the course of the year. I will allow you to choose your own country by accessing the
Wikispace via the APEH homepage (The username and the password is set up in
class!). Click changing the subject line. (i.e. “Subject: Mr. Ewart – I choose
Consider the following as you choose your
country: desire to know more about the
country, importance in
Your assignment is to research your country and give a 2 minute report
back to the class that covers all of the following items:
Present a nice color 8x10 map of the current boundaries with three
cities highlighted (1 must be the capital), historical background,
rulers/government(s), role in world, economics, industries, social identity,
cultural identity, demographics, etc.
Presentations are on September 9th, 2009! (in reverse order of
the sign-up list from message board!)
Assignment #2 Text Summaries
(Assigned: 8/31, Due 9/9)
One of the most difficult components of this course is
the sheer scope of the information that we must cover in order to reach our
goal. Although the textbooks assigned to
you will be used mostly as a preview/review for the topics that we will discuss
in class (and not as a typical high
school textbook – i.e. “read 299-320 and answer questions #2,4,6”),
it does offer a good opportunity for students to understand the scope of the
course through the use of its summaries for each chapter.
Therefore, your assignment is to read the summaries of chapters 10 through 28 (19 chapters total) in A
History of Civilization (Winks, 9thed.) and create a readable outline of the major topics covered in each chapter. Each chapter’s outline must be typed
on a separate piece of paper (keep it to one
side of one sheet of paper for each!) so that we can use it in class later in the
year. It is not vital at this point
that you understand all of the information that you are outlining – we will
elaborate on this all year long and it will make more sense as we go through the year. Do not make these too detailed at this
point! These will collectively be
counted as a quiz grade and be collected on September 8th, 2010. This will take
some time…so be prepared to get to work.
(Assigned: 8/30, Due 9/7)
Click on the link above to locate and identify major
countries, regions, waterways and cities that you will need to know for the
upcoming year.
Your assignment is to turn in a completed map and you
will take a quiz on these geographic locations without the use of the map on September 9th! The first quiz will require you to know all
of the countries listed!
Future quizzes will ask you to recall cities, bodies of water, regions,
etc.. MAKE A
