(10:29 is okay; 10:31 is not okay) "HISTORY! It's the most fun you can have in school!" There are at least two goals in A.P. European history: to learn the history of Europe from about 1450 to the recent past and to prepare for the A.P. examination in European history. My own goals include getting to know you and having fun. The A.P. examination consists of three parts: multiple choice questions, a document-based question (DBQ) and two free-response thematic essay questions. Part of the curriculum for A.P. Euro, therefore, includes instruction in how to attack these tasks effectively. To give you experience and skill in these types of evaluation, tests will be in one or more of these formats. To learn enough material to be worth evaluating, we will do a variety of activities individually and also in small and large groups. In addition to reading and writing, activities will include discussion, lecture, research, and debate. I am eager to hear your suggestions for other activities as well. Each activity or test is worth a certain number of points and your grade is the percent you earn of the total points assigned. The scale is A = 91-100, B = 81-90, C = 71-80 and so on. I do not offer extra credit in this program, except for the quick five points you can earn by bringing in a box of tissue, a bag of cough drops, a box of pencils, a package of notebook paper, or a bag of Hershey's kisses for the good of the class. If you do not think five points is a lot, consider the difference between 86 and 91. Only one per quarter, please. I assume most of you have successfully completed World History A, and American History A or AP. I assume most of you know how to "do school." If you have special needs, or learning differences, I hope you will speak with me about them promptly so that I can help you succeed. DRACONIAN LATE POLICY: Your work is due on the date it is assigned and during the class period you usually attend. Your work is due whether or not your absence from school is "excused." Late work is accepted until the end of the quarter but will not earn more than 71% of possible points. If you are late for an assignment you should still do it: Something is always better than nothing. EXPECTATIONS: Academic honesty (ask me if you do not know what it means!); prompt, prepared and regular attendance; respect for classmates and instructor; neither potables, comestibles, gum or grooming behavior in class; hard work. A sense of humor is a plus.

LESS IS MORE. Every word should add to your argument. If a word or phrase is not necessary for clarity or beauty, LEAVE IT OUT! 2. SAY WHAT YOU MEAN. 3. Tense agreement! Use ALL past tense or ALL present tense. Almost always, past is best for history. 4. Do not abbreviate. 4a. Avoid contractions. 5. USE ACTIVE VOICE! Do not write: "The paper was written by Bubba." Do write: "Bubba wrote the paper." 6. No first or second person. Period. The end. That means NO "I", "you", "we", "me," "your," "our," or "us." 7. "Person" and "one" are singular. So are "everybody", "everyone", "no one", "nobody." It means these words must be followed by singular pronouns such as "he" or "she." And, of course, the verbs must be singular as well. DO NOT WRITE: "Everybody thinks they are a good writer." DO WRITE: "Everybody thinks he or she is a good writer." 8. "Lastly" is not a good word. Use "finally." And while you are at it, avoid numerical adverbs like "firstly" or "secondly". Use instead "first" or "second." 8a. Do not use words like "scenario" or "utilize" when you can use words like "scene" or “use." 9. DO NOT EQUIVOCATE. DO NOT BE TENTATIVE. Make assertions. Then prove them with evidence. 10. Do not write "in conclusion." If the reader cannot tell you are concluding, you have not done your best work. 11. Adverbs such as "definitely," "really," "very," "greatly," "strongly," "basically" weaken your writing. 12. Do not use "this" as a noun. When it is an adjective, it needs a noun to modify. In general, after “this” you need a noun. 13. Use parallel construction. Remember to use "to" in a parallel construction with infinitives. 14. "Accept" means to agree to something. "Except" means to exclude. 15. "Affect" means to make a difference in something. "Effect" means to cause something, or, alternatively, the result of something. 16. Distinguish correctly between "their," "there," and "they're" 17. Distinguish correctly between "your" and "you're." 17a. Distinguish correctly between "its" and "it's." You will NEVER USE "it's" in formal prose if you follow these rules because it is a contraction. 18. "Hate" is a verb. "Hatred" is a noun. 19. "Quote" is a verb. "Quotation" is a noun. 20. "Cite" is a verb. "Citation" is a noun. 21. NEVER WRITE "would of," "could of," or "should of" for "would have," "could have," or “should have." Never! Never! Never! 3 22. Avoid Colloquialisms. 23. DOUBLE SPACE YOUR TYPED WORK! 24. Check your spelling before turning in work. Run the spell-check on your computer written work! 25.

  • First English Civil War (1642-46), the Second English Civil War (1648) and the Third English Civil War (1649-51)
    CIVIL WAR OF ENGLAND The English Civil War happened in the middle 17th century. The term civil war is a war where the sides involved in the fighting are from the same country. At the centre, there was a struggle between King Charles I and the Parliament of England over how England should be ruled. The King wanted to rule without Parliament telling him what to do. At first Parliament wanted to reduce the King's power, but later it decided that the country did not need a king. King Charles's supporters were known as the Royalists, and were nicknamed "Cavaliers". Parliament's supporters were known as the Parliamentarians, and were nicknamed "Roundheads". From 1639 to 1653, there was fighting in England, Scotland and Ireland, three separate countries that were ruled by the same king. The fighting that took place in each of these countries broke out at different times and for different reasons. In England, it lasted from 1642 to 1651. Some people think of this as one big war, while others think of it as three separate wars: the First English Civil War (1642-46), the Second English Civil War (1648) and the Third English Civil War (1649-51). The wars are also sometimes known as the Wars of the Three Kingdoms, including the Bishops' Wars in Scotland in 1639 to 1640 and the Irish Rebellion from 1641 to 1653. The Parliamentarians won the war. Charles I was captured, put on trial and in 1649 he was executed. His son CharlesII then tried to take over the country, but lost and escaped abroad.

  • V for Vendetta’: Book and Film
    UNIVERSIDADE DE LISBOA FACULDADE DE LETRAS DEPARTAMENTO DE ESTUDOS ANGLÍSTICOS “9 into 7” Considerations on ‘V for Vendetta’: Book and Film. Luís Silveiro MESTRADO EM ESTUDOS INGLESES E AMERICANOS (Estudos Norte-Americanos: Cinema e Literatura) 2010 UNIVERSIDADE DE LISBOA FACULDADE DE LETRAS DEPARTAMENTO DE ESTUDOS ANGLÍSTICOS “9 into 7” Considerations on ‘V for Vendetta’: Book and Film. Luís Silveiro Dissertação orientada por Doutora Teresa Cid MESTRADO EM ESTUDOS INGLESES E AMERICANOS (Estudos Norte-Americanos: Cinema e Literatura) 2010 Abstract The current work seeks to contrast the book version of Alan Moore and David Lloyd‟s V for Vendetta (1981-1988) with its cinematic counterpart produced by the Wachowski brothers and directed by James McTeigue (2005). This dissertation looks at these two forms of the same enunciation and attempts to analise them both as cultural artifacts that belong to a specific time and place and as pseudo-political manifestos which extemporize to form a plethora of alternative actions and reactions. Whilst the former was written/drawn during the Thatcher years, the film adaptation has claimed the work as a herald for an alternative viewpoint thus pitting the original intent of the book with the sociological events of post 9/11 United States. Taking the original text as a basis for contrast, I have relied also on Professor James Keller‟s work V for Vendetta as Cultural Pastiche with which to enunciate what I consider to be lacunae in the film interpretation and to understand the reasons for the alterations undertaken from the book to the screen version. An attempt has also been made to correlate Alan Moore‟s original influences into the medium of a film made with a completely different political and cultural agenda.

Our nation has never been more divided, more war- stricken, more fearful of the future. Yet, the promise and the greatness of Russia remains undaunted. The Russian Provisional Government can and will overcome these challenges and lead our Motherland into the dawn of a new day. Out of character. To introduce myself, I’m a fourth-year Economics and History double major, currently writing a BA thesis on World War II rationing in the United States. I compete on UChicago’s travel team and I additionally am a CD for our college conference. Besides that, I am the VP of the Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity, previously a member of an all-men a cappella group and a proud procrastinator. This letter, for example, is about a month late. We decided to run this committee for a multitude of reasons, but I personally think that Russian in 1917 represents such a critical point in history. In an unlikely way, the most autocratic regime on Earth became replaced with a socialist state. The story of this dramatic shift in government and ideology represents, to me, one of the most interesting parts of history: that sometimes facts can be stranger than fiction.

  • Through the Reign of Catherine the Great
    Chapter Thirty-two Religion in Eastern Europe and the Middle East from 1648 through the Reign of Catherine the Great What in Polish and Lithuanian history is called “the Deluge” began in 1648, with the revolt of Ukraine from the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. Ukraine has been important in the history of religion, and especially of Judaism. The Hasidic movement began in Ukraine in the eighteenth century. A century earlier, Ukraine had been the scene of an especially dark chapter in Jewish history. In what is conventionally called “the Khmelnytsky Uprising” (1648-1654) Orthodox Christians killed many thousands of Judaeans, and those who survived were forced temporarily to flee for safety to other lands. In order to see the Khmelnytsky Uprising and the rise of Hasidism in perspective, a summary glance at earlier Ukrainian history is necessary. Early history of Ukraine: Judaism and Orthodox Christianity in Kievan Rus We have seen in Chapter 24 that from the eighth century to the 960s the steppe country above the Black Sea, the Caucasus range and the Caspian had been ruled by the khan or khagan of the Khazars. Prior to the arrival of the Khazars the steppe had been controlled consecutively by coalitions of mounted warriors named Sarmatians, Goths, Huns and Avars. Under these transient overlords the valleys of the great rivers - Bug, Dniester, Dnieper, Don, Volga - were plowed and planted by a subject population known to the historian Jordanes (ca. 550) as Antes and Sclaveni. From the latter designation comes the name, “Slavs,” and it can be assumed that the steppe villagers spoke a variety of Slavic dialects.

  • An Introduction by David Robinson
    how it Happened Here: An Introduction by David Robinson Every viewing of It Happened Here, I find, requires the same adjustment. You always prepare yourself to make allowances, to be indulgent because, after all, it is only an amateur film, made on half a shoestring – schoolboys’ pocket-money virtually – with the barest of technical resources and volunteer personnel who came and went as the shooting stretched on. Yet within the first few minutes, practically within the first few shots, you find that allowances and indulgences are quite misplaced, because what you are seeing is simply a good film at any level and by any standards. As sheer professional filmcraft it is admirable. The staging of the war and the war period have a conviction which eludes more glossy and expensive ‘historical’ productions. The narrative structure is loose and casual, which makes it all the more remarkable that the film has a dramatic drive which carries through from the first shot to the last. The credit titles are backed with martial music. Then, over an animated map of the British Isles, the voice of John Snagge sketches in the ‘historical’ background which is the premise of the film: ‘The German invasion of England took place in July 1940 after the British retreat from Dunkirk. Strongly resisted at first, the German army took many months to restore order. But the resistance movement, lacking outside support, was finally crushed. For three years it lay dormant. Collaboration increased as the population became adjusted to the tedium of occupation... Then, in 1944, the resistance movement reappeared ...’ The heroine, Pauline Murray, is one of the population trying to adjust to the circumstances of occupation.
