AP European History Mr. Glasner Manhattan Center for Science and Math Adapted from Jessica Young’S “Palmer Tree” AP European History Mr. Glasner Manhattan Center for Science and Math Adapted from Jessica Young’s “Palmer Tree” "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 on 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. All of you have successfully completed Global History 1 and 2. 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." For specific exceptions, you can speak to the teacher. 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. 1} 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! 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. Watch out for overuse of "also." 26. Do not start or end a paper with useless or obvious phrases such as "The question I choose to answer is...," "This paper is about...," "I am going to prove thus-and-such and use evidence." Follow Nike: Just Do It. 27. People WHO Things THAT 28. Learn or remember that "a lot" is TWO words. That is a lot! 29. Spell "separate" correctly. 30. Do not write, "hopefully" when you mean, "it is to be hoped," or "one hopes." "Hopefully" is an adverb. 31. NEVER start a paper with "According to Webster's New Collegiate Dictionary..." or any other dictionary reference. 32. DO NOT begin compare/contrast papers with generic openings like "This and that are very different but they also have similarities." 33. DO NOT use "economical" which means "tending to save money" for "economic" which means "having to do with the economy" 34. Tired phrases to avoid: a) An author "goes on to say..." b) Something is a "key factor" or worse yet, something is "key." c) ANYTHING (but especially an economy) was “in shambles.” 35.

Long Live the Revolutions: Fighting for France's Political Future in the Long Wake of the Commune, 1871-1880 Abstract The traumatic legacies of the Paris Commune and its harsh suppression in 1871 had a significant impact on the identities and voter outreach efforts of each of the chief political blocs of the 1870s. The political and cultural developments of this phenomenal decade, which is frequently mislabeled as calm and stable, established the Republic's longevity and set its character. Yet the Commune's legacies have never been comprehensively examined in a way that synthesizes their political and cultural effects. This dissertation offers a compelling perspective of the 1870s through qualitative and quantitative analyses of the influence of these legacies, using sources as diverse as parliamentary debates, visual media, and scribbled sedition on city walls, to explicate the decade's most important political and cultural moments, their origins, and their impact.

  • Jean Jaurès – an Apostle of Peace in Pre-War Europe, 1905-1914
    Assoc. Prof. Dr. Rossitza Tasheva, Sofia University Jean Jaurès – An Apostle of Peace in Pre-War Europe, 1905-1914 The decade preceding the outbreak of the Great War in 1914 was marked not only by an intensification of armaments and confrontations of the world powers in their quest to acquire new resources, markets and influence, but also by an increasingly growing international peace movement, supported by hundreds of thousands of people. They came from different social groups, but what united them all was their common dream of harmony and peace in society, their belief that progress should not be based on violence and wars as means of resolving the emerging conflicts ought to be abolished. The Hague Conventions for the pacific settlement of international disputes of 1899 and 1907 gave some hope for the realization of their vision of a peaceful world, but in fact these conventions were mainly intended to diminish the evils of militarized conflicts and not to prevent their outbreak or escalation. In the beginning of the twentieth century, one French philosopher, historian and politician, Jean Jaurès, vigorously joined in the search for means to prevent wars among nations. To all who were disappointed with the failure of the ongoing initiatives, he offered a new, different perspective: the organization of a mass movement for peace, which would involve not only the governments but also the nations, in which the international solidarity of working men and women would oppose the constant threat of war. Jaurès demonstrated an extraordinary and unique activity in the struggle which he undertook against colonialism and war.

  • WAGNER and the VOLSUNGS None of Wagner’S Works Is More Closely Linked with Old Norse, and More Especially Old Icelandic, Culture
    WAGNER AND THE VOLSUNGS None of Wagner’s works is more closely linked with Old Norse, and more especially Old Icelandic, culture. It would be carrying coals to Newcastle if I tried to go further into the significance of the incom- parable eddic poems. I will just mention that on my first visit to Iceland I was allowed to gaze on the actual manuscript, even to leaf through it . It is worth noting that Richard Wagner possessed in his library the same Icelandic–German dictionary that is still used today. His copy bears clear signs of use. This also bears witness to his search for the meaning and essence of the genuinely mythical, its very foundation.

    THEOLOGICAL AND CULTURAL ANTI-SEMITISM MANIFESTING INTO POLITICAL ANTI-SEMITISM MARTIN M. VAN BRAUMAN The Lord appeared to Solomon at night and said to him I have heard your prayer and I have chosen this place to be a Temple of offering for Me. If I ever restrain the heavens so that there will be no rain, or if I ever command locusts to devour the land, or if I ever send a pestilence among My people, and My people, upon whom My Name is proclaimed, humble themselves and pray and seek My presence and repent of their evil ways – I will hear from Heaven and forgive their sin and heal their land. 2 Chronicles 7:12-14. Political anti-Semitism represents the ideological weapon used by totalitarian movements and pseudo-religious systems.1 Norman Cohn in Warrant for Genocide: The Myth of the Jewish World-Conspiracy and the Protocols of the Elders of Zion wrote that during the Nazi years “the drive to exterminate the Jews sprang from demonological superstitions inherited from the Middle Ages.”2 The myth of the Jewish world-conspiracy developed out of demonology and inspired the pathological fantasy of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, which was used to stir up the massacres of Jews during the Russian civil war and then was adopted by Nazi ideology and later by Islamic theology.3 Most people see anti-Semitism only as political and cultural anti-Semitism, whereas the hidden, most deeply rooted and most dangerous source of the evil has been theological anti-Semitism stemming historically from Christian dogma and adopted by and intensified with

After having published a few theatre plays and La Galatea, he became enormously successful with the publication of The Inge- nious Nobleman Sir Quixote of La Mancha, also known as just Don Quixote.

  • Historians, Absolute Monarchy and the Provincial Estates
    Cambridge University Press 0521827671 - Provincial Power and Absolute Monarchy: The Estates General of Burgundy, 1661-1790 Julian Swann Excerpt More information chapter 1 Historians, absolute monarchy and the provincial estates the ‘whig interpretation’ of french history After witnessing the rise and often rapid fall of three monarchies, two empires, five republics and the Vichy regime in the space of less than two centuries, the French people can be forgiven a certain scepticism about the durability of both their rulers and the country’s political institutions. Yet through the ruins and debris left by kings, emperors and politicians of every hue, the French have long been able to seek solace in the fact that the state went on forever. The existence of a strong, centralised bureaucracy, simul- taneously loved and loathed by the public, supplied a sense of permanence and reliability denied to the mere mortals who flitted across the political stage. Since at least the early nineteenth century, veneration of the state and a belief in its centralising mission has formed an important part of French national identity. It offered a force for unity that a divided and politically traumatised people could cling to, and, not surprisingly, scholars looked back beyond 1789 in search of its origins. The result was what we might describe as the French version of the Whig schoolof history. Whereas the British exponents of that schoolbelieved that the history of their country could be written in terms of a long and triumphant march from the Magna Carta to parliamentary democracy, the French saw a no less inexorable rise of the state.
