Mrs. Feighery Email/ Google Account: Feighetr@Winslow-Schools.Com ​ AP United States History Summer Assignment 2017 - Mrs. Feighery Email/ Google Account: [email protected] ​ The purpose of this assignment is to get you thinking about American history, and the role that History can play in our lives, as well as to get a head start in preparing for the AP exam in May. It is also an opportunity for me to assess your writing ability as you enter the course and prepare for the year. A further objective of the AP US summer assignment is to help you develop your time management skills, which will be important during the year. The guided reading assignments for Chapters 1-4 will be due during the summer and the due dates will be posted on Google Classroom. Your movie review assignment is to be completed and turned in on the first day of school and will count towards your first marking ​ ​ period grade. Please join the AP US History Google Classroom, which can be found by going to classroom.google.com and creating a student account. Click on the + and join the APUSH ​ Summer Assignment Class using the following group code: zf8jc1. ​ ​ Assignment 1: Read and answer the questions and identifications for the American Pageant Chapters 1-4 using ​ ​ the Guided Reading Assignments included in this packet, or complete the assignments online in Google Classroom. Handwritten or typed is fine for the Summer Assignment. You will use this ​ method of organizing information throughout the school year with each chapter in the textbook. Assignment 2: Choose one historical movie from the attached list and view the movie. Write a Movie Review that is a minimum of two, but not more than three, pages in length. Please follow the guidelines below to insure that your review is complete! Guidelines for Movie Review 1. Please put a heading on your paper. Must be typed, 12 point font, and double spaced; no longer than 3 pages in length and shared with me on the first day of school, either in Google Classroom or a hard copy. 2. First sentence should include the name of film, leading actors/actresses/, director, the date of release, and main point or thesis of the film. (Is it based on a book?) 3. A brief summary of the plot. 4. Historical Accuracy – Were the movie characters based on actual people? If so, who were they and were they and were they treated accurately? Were there any real events (battles, protests, laws, etc.)? If so, were they historically accurate? If there were no real characters or events, it was probably a conscious decision on the part of the writers and director. Try to analyze why reality was omitted. Parenthetically, cite any sources you use. ​ 5. Setting – When and where was the movie set? If several locations were used, were they all depicted realistically? How long a time span did it cover? Were the houses, furnishings, foods, tools, music, weapons, clothes, hairstyles, shoes, etc. shown with accuracy? Give examples of period props you think especially well or especially poorly presented. 6. Evaluation – Provide an evaluation of the film. Don’t just say “I liked it because it was a good movie” or “I hated it because it was boring.” Examine the strengths and weaknesses of the movie. Which actors did a good job and which were inadequate? Were there places where the plot was weak? If the film was done years ago, would it be done differently now? Why? What would have made the film better? Would you recommend the film to another student? Use examples from the film to support your points. (continued on next page) 7. Include a separate Works Cited page citing your sources using MLA format. Suggestion! Take a brief list of notes while watching the film and back up your ideas with specific examples. See you in September!! 2017 APUSH SUMMER ASSIGNMENT THEME #1 EXPLORATION and DISCOVERY BIG PICTURE THEMES: Chapter #1: New World Beginnings (pages 4 – 24) ​ ​ ​ 1. The New World, before Columbus, there were many different Native American tribes. These people were very diverse. In what’s today the U.S., there were an estimated 400 tribes, often speaking different languages. It’s inaccurate to think of “Indians” as a homogeneous group. 2. Columbus came to America looking for a trade route to the East Indies (Spice Islands). Other explorers quickly realized this was an entirely New World and came to lay claim to the new lands for their host countries. Spain and Portugal had the head start on France and then England. 3. The coming together of the two worlds had world changing effects. The biological exchange cannot be underestimated. Food was swapped back and forth and truly revolutionized what people ate. On the bad side, European diseases wiped out an estimated 90% of Native Americans.

  • Videography and Photography: Critical Thinking, Ethics and Knowledge-Based Practice in Visual Media
    Videography and photography: Critical thinking, ethics and knowledge-based practice in visual media Storytelling through videography and photography can form the basis for journalism that is both consequential and high impact. Powerful images can shape public opinion and indeed change the world, but with such power comes substantial ethical and intellectual responsibility. The training that prepares journalists to do this work, therefore, must meaningfully integrate deep analytical materials and demand rigorous critical thinking. Students must not only have proficient technical skills but also must know their subject matter deeply and understand the deeper implications of their journalistic choices in selecting materials. This course gives aspiring visual journalists the opportunity to hone critical-thinking skills and devise strategies for addressing multimedia reporting’s ethical concerns on a professional level. It instills values grounded in the best practices of traditional journalism while embracing the latest technologies, all through knowledge-based, hands-on instruction. Learning objectives This course introduces the principles of critical thinking and ethical awareness in nonfiction visual storytelling. Students who take this course will: Learn the duties and rights of journalists in the digital age. Better understand the impact of images and sound on meaning. Develop a professional process for handling multimedia reporting’s ethical challenges. Generate and translate ideas into ethically sound multimedia projects. Understand how to combine responsible journalism with entertaining and artistic storytelling. Think and act as multimedia journalists, producing accurate and balanced stories — even ones that take a point of view. Course design This syllabus is built around the concept of groups of students going through the complete process of producing a multimedia story and writing journal entries about ethical concerns that surface during its development and execution.

  • An Amazing 1969 Account of the Stonewall Uprising
    An Amazing 1969 Account of the Stonewall Uprising GARANCE FRANKE- RUTA THE ATLANTIC JAN 24, 2013 Despite progress, the circumstances that gave rise to the rebellion that began the contemporary gay rights movement haven't changed as much as we might think. When President Obama briefly mentioned Stonewall during his Inaugural address, it prompted a lot of chatter about of the Stonewall riot and his historic adoption of the gay rights cause as his own. But what happened at the Stonewall Inn, really? New York papers tend to call it the Stonewall uprising, not the Stonewall riot, because it played out as six days of skirmishes between young gay, lesbian, and transgender individuals and the New York Police Department in the wake of a police raid of the Christopher Street bar in Manhattan's West Village. The raid came amid a broader police crackdown on gay bars for operating without N. Y. State Liquor Authority licenses, which was something they did only because the SLA refused to grant bars that served gays licenses, forcing them to operate as illegal saloons. Into that void stepped opportunists and Mafia affiliates, who ran the unlicensed establishments and reputedly had deals with the police to stay in business. But on the night of June 27, 1969, a police raid on the Stonewall involving the arrests of 13 people inside the bar met unexpected resistance when a crowd gathered and one of those arrested, a woman, cried out to the assembled bystanders as she was shoved into a paddy wagon, "Why don't you guys do something!" The conflict over the next six days played out as a very gay variant of a classic New York street rebellion.

    A film by Mark Kitchell 101 min, English, Digital (DCP/Blu-ray), U.S.A, 2012, Documentary FIRST RUN FEATURES The Film Center Building | 630 Ninth Ave. #1213 | New York, NY 10036 (212) 243-0600 | Fax (212) 989-7649 | [email protected] www.firstrunfeatures.com www.firstrunfeatures.com/fiercegreenfire About the Film A FIERCE GREEN FIRE: The Battle for a Living Planet is the first big-picture exploration of the environmental movement – grassroots and global activism spanning fifty years from conservation to climate change. Directed and written by Mark Kitchell, Academy Award- nominated director of Berkeley in the Sixties, and narrated by Robert Redford, Ashley Judd, Van Jones, Isabel Allende and Meryl Streep, the film premiered at Sundance Film Festival 2012, won acclaim at festivals around the world, and in 2013 begins theatrical release as well as educational distribution and use by environmental groups. Inspired by the book of the same name by Philip Shabecoff and informed by advisors like E.O. Wilson and Tom Lovejoy, A FIERCE GREEN FIRE chronicles the largest movement of the 20th century and one of the keys to the 21st. It brings together all the major parts of environmentalism and connects them. It focuses on activism, people fighting to save their homes, their lives, the future – and succeeding against all odds. The film unfolds in five acts, each with a central story and character: • David Brower and the Sierra Club’s battle to halt dams in the Grand Canyon • Lois Gibbs and Love Canal residents’ struggle against 20,000 tons of toxic chemicals • Paul Watson and Greenpeace’s campaigns to save whales and baby harp seals • Chico Mendes and Brazilian rubbertappers’ fight to save the Amazon rainforest • Bill McKibben and the 25-year effort to address the impossible issue – climate change Surrounding these main stories are strands like environmental justice, going back to the land, and movements of the global south such as Wangari Maathai in Kenya.

  • When Did You Become Gay?
    1 | AN INTRODUCTION TO WHAT I HEAR WHEN YOU SAY Deeply ingrained in human nature is a tendency to organize, classify, and categorize our complex world. Often, this is a good thing. This ability helps us make sense of our environment and navigate unfamiliar landscapes while keeping us from being overwhelmed by the constant stream of new information and experiences. When we apply this same impulse to social interactions, however, it can be, at best, reductive and, at worst, dangerous. Seeing each other through the lens of labels and stereotypes prevents us from making authentic connections and understanding each other’s experiences. Through the initiative, What I Hear When You Say ( WIHWYS ), we explore how words can both divide and unite us and learn more about the complex and everchanging ways that language shapes our expectations, opportunities, and social privilege. WIHWYS ’s interactive multimedia resources challenge what we think we know about race, class, gender, and identity, and provide a dynamic digital space where we can raise difficult questions, discuss new ideas, and share fresh perspectives. 1 | Introduction WHEN DID YOU BECOME GAY? if you don’t have an answer it doesn’t make you any less gay, it doesn’t make you any less queer or less trans be- “ cause we’re all evolving and we all change, and we don’t have this one day on our calendar where we suddenly understood everything.

    BBC FILMS & BBC WORLDWIDE Present A RED BOX FILMS PRODUCTION Directed by: John Dower Presented by: Louis Theroux Written by: John Dower & Louis Theroux Produced by: Simon Chinn MY SCIENTOLOGY MOVIE U.K. production R/T: 99 minutes Shot on Sony F55 and Canon CS00-PL (Panasonic HE120 and Flip Mino HD) TFF 2016- For further publicity information please contact: Emma Griffiths EMMA GRIFFITHS PR [email protected] www.eg-pr.com TIFF 2016: US Sales Contact: Josh Braun-Submarine [email protected] International Sales Contact: Mark Lane- HanWay Select- [email protected] SHORT SYNOPSIS Not your typical exposé. BBC doc-maker and journalist Louis Theroux teams up with director John Dower and double Academy Award winning producer Simon Chinn (Searching for Sugar, Man On Wire) to explore the self-mythologizing Church of Scientology. Following a long fascination with the religion and with much experience in dealing with eccentric, unpalatable and unexpected human behavior, the beguilingly unassuming Theroux won’t take no for an answer when his request to enter the Church’s headquarters is turned down. Inspired by the Church’s use of filming techniques, and aided by ex-members of the organization, Theroux uses actors to replay some incidents people claim they experienced as members in an attempt to better understand the way it operates. In a bizarre twist, it becomes clear that the Church is also making a film about Louis Theroux. Suffused with a good dose of humor and moments worthy of a Hollywood script, MY SCIENTOLOGY MOVIE is as outlandish as it is revealing.

TEL: 615- 675-9510. "Earth Day is a commitment to make life better, not just bigger and faster; to provide real rather than rhetorical solutions. It is a day to re-examine the ethic of individual progress at mankind's expense. It is a day to challenge the corporate and government leaders who promise change, but who shortchange the necessary programs. It is a day for looking beyond tomorrow. April 22 seeks a future worth living. April 22 seeks a future." Environmental Teach-In Advertisement New York Times January 18, 1970 (1) The celebratory event known as "Earth Day," created in 1969 and 1970, found its initial inspiration in the 1950s and 1960s, decades marked by tremendous social and cultural awareness, times of activism and change. One cultural concept around which millions of people began to rally was the environment. The legacy of environmental thought in the decades prior to the first Earth Day gave birth to the event in 1970. A body of environmental literature emerged in the United States which traced its roots to the colonial and post-Revolutionary War periods. The writings of Henry David Thoreau, John Muir, and George Perkins in the latter half of the 19th and in the 20th century stimulated and created a philosophy and ethic for the environment and concerns for nature and the wilderness.
