Monday, Feb. 20, 2012 - President's Day - No School For Students.
Presidents' Day, celebrated each year on the third Monday in February, is a day when Americans honor the legacies of the U.S. presidents.
The holiday was established in 1800, when Congress declared February 22–George Washington's birthday–a federal holiday.
Still legally known as Washington's Birthday, Presidents' Day has become a day to honor not only Washington, but Abraham Lincoln, the 16th U.S. president who was born on February 12, and the lives and accomplishments of all U.S. presidents.
Quotes of the Day:

“Blessed are the young, for they will inherit the national debt.” - Herbert Hoover

"You lose." - Calvin Coolidge, after a woman told him she made a bet that she could get at least three words of conversation from him

"Things are more like they are now than they ever were before." - Dwight D. Eisenhower

Link to the Project Information for Chapter 19 & 20.

We will write the proposal for the project on Tuesday. Include the 5 Questions you will ask the class. It is a grade and will be turned in before the end of the period. We will then have the entire block day on Wed/Thu to plan, coordinate and put your presentation together. I will help as we also have individual meeting time to go over the DBQ.

Examples of student-driven projects to get ideas from:
Youtube Clip: Re-enactment of the Boxer Rebellion
Youtube Clip: Student created Boxer Rebellion Clip
Youtube Clip: Student created documentary about Boxer Rebellion
Power Point Presentation: Boxer Rebellion Student Created Prezi on Boxer Rebellion

AP Test Signup Date Reminder - 2/29

Just a reminder that the signup date deadline for the Advanced Placement World History test is February 29th.

Currently I have 17 of the 52 students who are signed up to take the test. Kind of a shame. Not even a full class period out of 4. Hoping some more of you decide to sign up.

Realize that the funds$$$ for students in need are dwindling (and may already be gone). So the sooner the better.

Also, keep in mind a couple of things:

We will be spending an entire month prepping for the AP test. We'll finish Chapter 24 on April 13th. Each week we'll take the equivalent of an AP World History test as practice in class. So we'll be plenty prepared.
Also know that although the price has gone up, this is an invaluable opportunity to experience the test and improve your chances of future success in AP testing during your Junior and Senior year.
Also realize that I will push each and every one of you exactly the same and hold you to the same standard, regardless of whether you are signed up for the test or not. It is the right thing to do because I want you to be prepared for AP US History next fall. You are going to knock Ms. Flynn and Mr. Scalia's socks off! They have NEVER had students this prepared for their class before.

If anyone has any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to ask.
