Nationalism Project

As an introduction to Nationalism, you will be researching an individual country (outside of N. America and Europe) and presenting a brochure which includes important information about the country. The final project will be creating a brochure describing various aspects of the country including demographics, government, religion, ethnicity, etc. You can find the guidelines for the project linked in the column on the right or by clicking here. The due dates for projects are geared around when I could get classes scheduled for the computer labs so be sure to listen in class for your individual due date. Email me with any questions.

Welcome Back!

Welcome to a new semester! Hope everyone enjoyed their break and had a safe holiday season. This semester is loaded with interesting subjects from world history including units such as Napoleon, Nationalism, Industrialization, World War I, the Russian Revolution and Totalitarianism! Right down your alley, I know!

Our first unit will be a continuation of the French Revolution although it's deserving of it's own unit. Over the next few weeks we will be discussing the life, rise to power and decline of Napoleon Bonaparte. His rise from soldier to commander to emperor is a tale like no other (ok, minus every leader in the Roman Empire). I think everyone will readily enjoy the unit. PBS published an excellent website covering his entire life. Take a look around if you have time!
