The Future This Week Two Week Overview This Week Cont the Interesting Facts for the Week Khutulun (c. 1260 – c. 1306), also known as Aigiarne, Aiyurug, Khotol Tsagaan or Ay Yaruq (literally Moonlight) was the most famous daughter of Kaidu, a cousin of Kublai Khan. Her father was most pleased by her abilities, and she accompanied him on military campaigns. Marco Polo and Rashid al-Din both wrote about her. Marco Polo described Khutulun as a superb warrior, one who could ride into enemy ranks and snatch a captive as easily as a hawk snatches a chicken. She assisted her father in many battles, particularly against the Yuan Dynasty of her cousin the Great Khan – Kublai (r. 1260–94). Khutulun insisted that any man who wished to marry her must defeat her in wrestling. Winning horses from competitions and the wagers of would-be suitors, it is said that she gathered a herd numbering ten thousand. this week this week cont. the future After School Detention Remind students that we are still in April 23-28 Kent school and need to keep the rules in After School Detention mind (cell phone usage, dress code, We are moving through the time of Pena being good citizens with each other, year when students are out of the Teacher Workday—Monday, April 23rd will be etc.) AND keep working hard. classroom for many activities.

  • An Accessible Vangobook™ That Focuses on the Connections Within and Between Societies
    judge_langdonKIT_press 7/18/08 11:56 AM Page 1 Preview Chapter 15 Inside! An accessible VangoBook™ that focuses on the connections within and between societies. judge_langdonKIT_press 7/15/08 11:34 AM Page 2 Spring 2008 Dear Colleague: We are two professors who love teaching world history. For the past sixteen years, at our middle-sized college, we have team-taught a two-semester world history course that first-year students take to fulfill a college-wide requirement. Our students have very diverse backgrounds and interests. Most take world history only because it is required, and many of them find it very challenging. Helping them understand world history and getting them to share our enthusiasm for it are our main purposes and passions. To help our students prepare better for class and enhance their enjoyment of history, we decided to write a world history text that was tailored specifically to meet their needs. Knowing that they often see history as a bewildering array of details, dates, and developments, we chose a unifying theme— connections—and grouped our chapters to reflect the expansion of connections from regional to global levels. To help make our text more accessible, we wrote concise chapters in a simple yet engaging narrative, divided into short topical subsections, with pronunciations after difficult names and marginal notes highlighting our theme. Having seen many students struggle because they lack a good sense of geography, we included numerous maps—more than twice as many as most other texts—and worked hard to make them clear and consistent, with captions that help the students read the maps and connect them with surrounding text.We also provided compelling vignettes to introduce the themes of each chapter, concise excerpts from relevant primary sources, colorful illustrations,“perspective” summaries and chronologies, reflection questions, and useful lists of key concepts, key people, and additional sources.

  • Khanate of the Golden Horde (Kipchak)
    The Mongol Catastrophe For the Muslim east, the sudden eruption of the Mongol hordes was an indescribable calamity. Something of the shock and despair of Muslim reaction can be seen in the history of the contemporary historian Ibn al-Athir (d. 1233). He writes here about the year 1220-1221 when the Mongols (“Tartars”) burst in on the eastern lands. Is this a positive, negative, or neutral description of the Mongols? Why might the Mongols be compared to Alexander rather than, say, the Huns? they eat, [needing] naught else. As for their beasts which they ride, these dig into I say, therefore, that this thing involves the description of the greatest catastrophe the earth with their hoofs and eat the roots of plants, knowing naught of barley. and the most dire calamity (of the like of which days and nights are innocent) And so, when they alight anywhere, they have need of nothing from without.

  • Summary and Synopsis
    THE ONCE AND FUTURE TURANDOT A Comic Opera in Three Acts An Original Variation on the Turandot Story by Patricia Herzog Copyright © 2016 Patricia Herzog Summary and Synopsis The Turandot most of us know is the eponymous heroine of Giacomo Puccini’s opera, completed by Franco Alfano in 1926, two years after the composer’s death: a spellbindingly beautiful woman utterly devoid of feeling, an ice princess, barbarously cruel, man-hating and man-slaying—until she herself is slain by love. The versions of the Turandot story that most influenced Puccini and his librettists, Giuseppe Adami and Renato Simoni, are plays by Carlo Gozzi (1762) and Friedrich Schiller (1801). In these works, Turandot is still desperate not to marry, but her reasoning is different, as is her reason for accepting Prince Calaf. Puccini’s Turandot vows never to be possessed by a man because the spirit of a female ancestor, dragged off and killed by a conquering invader, dwells inside her. There in no mention of such an ancestor in either the Gozzi or the Schiller. In the Gozzi, Turandot offers this explanation to Calaf: “ … I am not heartless. But I abhor your sex, and I defend myself in the only way I know, so that I may remain free from men. Why should I not be as free as you are?”i The enlightened Schiller goes him one better: “I am not cruel, as they say, but shun the yoke of Man’s despotic sway. In virgin freedom would I live and die …. Shall I, the daughter of an emperor, not have that birthright which belongs to all? Be slave to brutish force, that makes your sex our lord? … If nature dowered me with beauteous treasure you tyrants think t’was all to serve your pleasure.

  • Mongol Invasions of India
    Mongol Invasions of India The Mongol Empire carried out several invasions of the Indian subcontinent from 1221 to 1327. Some of these invasions were punitive raids intended for plunder while others were carried out with the intention of occupying key city centres. The Mongols suffered a series of defeats when the Delhi Sultanate undertook military campaigns against them in the mid-1300s. This article will give details about the Mongol Invasions of India within the context of the IAS Exam. Background of Mongol Invasions of India The Mongol were a nomadic tribe that lived on the plains of Central Asia from the Ural Mountains to the Gobi Desert. They were a fractious tribe always at war with each other until a warlord, Temujin united them in 1206. Taking the name Genghis Khan. He set on a path of conquest in which he would forge an empire that would scratch from Korea in the east to the borders of Poland in the west at his height in 1237. To date, the Mongol Empire is the largest contiguous land empire in human history. Genghis Khan made several incursions into the Indian subcontinent when he chased the Jalal al Din, the last ruler of the Khwarezmian Empire, all the way to the Indus river in 1221. The Khwarezmian Empire was destroyed by the Mongols the year before and Genghis Khan had ordered anyone member of the ruling family to be tracked down and killed. In their pursuit of Jalal, the Mongols sacked several cities in the Punjab region but their incursions were limited towards the western banks of the Sindh river at the time.

  • TV Outside The
    1 MARCO POLO on Netflix John Fusco: Creator/Executive Producer/Co-Showrunner John Fusco has an enduring interest in the spiritual aspects of warrior cultures and acknowledges a common “red thread” that runs through Native American and Eastern philosophy. Before Marco Polo, he was perhaps best known for writing the screenplays for the blockbusters Young Guns (featuring Emilio Estevez as Billy the Kid) and sequel, Young Guns II —which put a modern spin on the classic Western formula. His screenplays aren’t simply inhabited by wholly virtuous good guys and sadistic bad guys. His characters are layered and complex. It’s not just “cowboys and Indians.” Check out Thunderheart, a contemporary Western from 1992, featuring Val Kilmer as an FBI agent of Sioux heritage, investigating a murder on a reservation in South Dakota (at the site of the Wounded Knee massacre). The movie, directed by Michael Apted, is a crime-drama that shows the plight of and discrimination against Native Americans; based on true events, it’s a story told with empathy and verve. The same sensitive approach to rough and tumble storytelling can be found in Fusco’s screenplay for Hidalgo, a 2004 film based on the legend of American long distance rider Frank Hopkins (Viggo Mortensen) who raced his mustang (Hidalgo) in 1891 Arabia. Hopkins was also a dispatch rider for the US government and is known for delivering a message to the US 7th Cavalry Regiment authorizing the Wounded Knee Massacre of Lakota Sioux. If you think you know the “true story,” Hidalgo will give you a suspenseful history lesson and blow your mind.
