Course Description:

You prepared for your adventure during the summer. Today - the adventure begins!

We are on a journey … and a mission.

Our journey is into the social, political, economic, intellectual, cultural, and artistic life of Europe, from the Renaissance to modern day. This journey will take us into the everyday life of normal citizens and into the world of high politics. It will take us down the road of rapid technological growth and behind the scenes of the arts. As we journey, we will see the unfolding of many concepts that are often taken for granted today.

So, submerge yourself in all that is Europe. Challenge your mind to think deeply about the topics we explore. Get to know both the minds and the hearts of the people we encounter along the road. Have the courage to share your thoughts and ask your questions. Assist your classmates who join you on the trip. Take these steps and you will find the journey enjoyable!

Our mission is to prepare for and conquer the nationally standardized Advanced Placement European History Examination to be taken on May 09, 2008. I believe in you and I believe you will discipline yourself to study intently. You will read carefully and with a purpose. You will write coherent thesis statements and support them with facts and sound analysis. You will be a scholar and you will succeed!

Course Requirements:

A successful performance on the AP examination is a real asset when you apply to college and, depending on the school, may even count for college credits. Thus, this class will be conducted as the equivalent of an entry-level college course.

Reading assignments will necessarily be larger and more complex than what you are accustomed. You are expected to do a considerable amount of reading in both your major text and / or in supplementary sources every night. A list of reading assignments for the entire year is being distributed to you on the first day to facilitate this process. Remember that consistent and thorough reading is essential for success. Evidence of this reading must be demonstrated during class discussions, in notes and essay assignments, and on tests. Our class time is limited and precious. We will discuss major themes and movements in class but you must read for the details. Read every night. There is too much material to cover if you let it slip. Also, your brain absorbs the material best if you read in this manner. Remember that you are not alone on the journey and that the successful completion of the mission requires each person to do his part. Your “part” includes coming to class having read the assignment.

In addition to being able to read insightfully, you also must be able to write analytically and coherently. Being able to construct a thesis statement is essential! The examination in May will ask you to answer not only multiple choice questions but also “free response” and “document based questions (DBQ’s).” Hence, you will be expected to do several different types of writing assignments – both inside and outside of class - throughout the year. Please note that I have compiled free response questions from 25 years of AP examinations and you will have seven monthly writing assignment related to them. You also will have seven DBQ’s to answer on a

monthly basis as well. You are receiving a separate handout about the fourteen essays and the due dates for most written assignments are listed on the same handout as your reading assignments.

Determination of Grade

There will be homework assignments, most checked at the end of the chapter, and you will have chapter tests. You also will be graded on your monthly essays and class participation. You should understand that success on these assessments requires not simple regurgitation of information but rather an understanding of the themes of the era. You must use your analytical skills even in answering multiple-choice questions. Again I remind you that careful reading of the material is essential. Lectures and class discussions most often deal with the large themes and help you to make important connections but you must read for the details. Writing assignments will be given both inside and outside of class. Both content and style count. There is a very specific writing style that I will explain and that you must adopt. I will distribute information about writing style and grading of essays.

Since you have your AP examination on May 9, 2008, we will read the novel “Night” in the final weeks of May. You will do assignments related to “Night” and these will be graded as counted as your “final examination” grade. You will not have an examination during the final exam week.

If a student misses a test or an assignment due date because of an absence or other legitimate reason, he must make up that test or hand in the assignment immediately upon his return to school unless mitigating circumstances prevent.

I will offer a brief statement about extra credit. I occasionally offer extra credit questions on tests and sometimes offer extra credit quizzes. However, I do not advise your seeking credit for extra work. I could devise any number of extra projects, but you already have enough on your schedule without taking on additional assignments. Thus, in the event you find yourself in difficulty in the course, I recommend your asking for extra help---but not extra work. The answer to your struggles is NOT extra credit. The answer is more careful and diligent work on the assignments and tests given.

Punctuality

This rule is quite simple. All work is to be handed in on time. All tests are to be taken on time. On time means when collected or given in class. If a legitimate reason, and I decide what is legitimate, keeps you from handing work in when you come to class, you must speak with me. No excuses. In the case of illness, you are to hand in the work and / or take the test on the day you return unless I have otherwise stated. Be sure to save all work to a jump drive, and to troubleshoot problems such as crashed hard drive or broken printer well in advance. "My printer died" is not an excuse: the only catastrophes that should absolutely prevent you from handing in work on time or taking a test on time are national or personal emergencies.

Honesty

I place a high premium on honesty in all its forms. Speak honestly, act honestly, and write honestly. You are already familiar with the definition of plagiarism and the maximum penalty that it can incur. Know that I shall move against all proven instances of plagiarism to the maximum extent allowed by school policy.

Participation

Participation involves contributing to the life of the class as a whole. It involves your entire preparation for the day in terms of work and attitude. It means you are on time, organized, and both active in discussions and a good listener. It involves whatever you do by word or example to make your class a vibrant, living, and enthusiastic group. Of course, much of your grade depends on attendance, and it goes without saying that it is important to be present for every class. In sum, your presence here is as important as mine is, and I think each of you should come into class every day having answered this question satisfactorily: "If I walked into this classroom and saw that all the faces were new and that I was the only one familiar with what we were to do that day, could I successfully take charge of that group for that day? Participation is important and a significant factor in your grade.

School Examinations

The first semester examination will consist of a review of the material covered that semester. Since you will take the AP examination, your “final examination in school will actually be an assignment related to the novel “Night” and submitted before exam week. You are required to come to two extra sessions on the two Sundays prior to the AP examination. You will take practice exams. For review purposes, you should hold on to all tests, assignments, and handouts.

Expectations: (Sometimes known as Classroom Do’s and Don’ts)

Apart from the obvious rules governing conduct and courtesy, I emphasize the following:

Be Punctual. You have plenty of time to get here from wherever you were the previous period. See that you do. Arrive on time and begin the assignment as you arrive.

Be Prepared. Have all your materials and be ready to work. Be Respectful. Listen attentively. Participate respectively. Raise your hand to participate. Be a good Note-Taker. Learn to do it well. It will benefit you now and in the future. Be Professional. All homework and work in class is to be done neatly. Use a black or blue

pen on loose-leaf paper or do it on a computer. (Otherwise - it is returned.) Be Responsible. Work is due on the assigned date. NO LATE WORK! Late assignments

are not accepted except for “special circumstances.” If you are not in class on a given day, it is your responsibility to see me. Assignments, quizzes, and tests should be made up the next day you are in school unless you make other arrangements with me. If you know you are going to be missing in action (due to a retreat, game, field trip, etc.) get the assignment to me before you leave.

Be a good Communicator. Please feel free to approach me with any problem relating to your understanding or progress in this course. I am always ready and willing to listen to a concern of yours, and I hope you will avail yourself of the opportunity to meet with me. .

Grading:

Your grade is based upon the evaluation of the course components. I go by a point system. Each assignment, test, and so forth will be worth a given number of points. The value varies according to the assignment. Grade averages will be determined by dividing the total number of points earned by

the total number of points eligible to be earned. Class participation points will be based on your overall approach to the class proceedings. If you have questions about your grade, you are invited to discuss it with me.

A.P. Modern European History2006 - 2007 Homework Assignment List

Note: This list includes reading assignments, test dates, and other key information for the year. Consistent reading is essential for success in this class. Note that you have weekend reading assignments that are listed on Friday and repeated on Saturday. You must keep reading notes of approximately one page per night of key events, people and terms. If you are absent from class or if class does not meet for any reason, you still are to do the assignment listed. In addition, work for each chapter will include written assignments. The due dates for most written assignments are listed. Due dates for other written work will be announced. We begin with chapter 12 in the textbook. Underlined assignments refer to primary source readings on the course website (if there is more than one document by the author, read all). You have a separate packet with details about your essay assignments. The due dates for each one also are listed here. Follow the directions in the packet for writing these assignments. Weekends are a good time to work on these assignments. Do not wait to the last minute! Note that a few extra meetings are scheduled. These meetings and practice tests are vital for your preparation and success on the AP examination in May. If you cannot make them, please see me or have a parent speak with me in advance so that we can make alternative arrangements. If you have questions about this work, see me.

Free Response (FRQ) and Document Based Questions (DBQ) Essays

How are these assignments related to the A.P. Examination?

The A.P. European History Examination is divided into three sections. One section requires you to write two thematic free response essays on topics of major significance. This section of the examination provides you an opportunity to demonstrate your range of skills and mastery of the history you have learned. On the actual A.P. examination, you will be given two sets of three questions and you must select one question for each group. The suggested writing time on the examination is 35 minutes per question.

The second section of the A.P. exam consists of a Document Based Question (DBQ) essay. In this essay you are asked to take a series of documents, analyze them, and answer a question based on those documents, as well as any other outside knowledge you can bring in to the essay to support your thesis. On the actual A.P. examination, you are given only one DBQ (no choices) and you have 45 minutes to complete your written answer.

Why must I write fourteen papers? How will this assignment help me?

These papers are an exercise that will simulate the essays that you will face on the actual A.P. examination. In fact, all of the questions provided in this packet are from the actual A.P. examination over the past 25 years, or where written by AP readers who grade the exam to closely simulate actual questions. By writing two essays each month, you will:

Become increasingly comfortable with the wording of these questions. Improve your ability to write a powerful thesis statement. Learn to incorporate specific examples, documents and supporting material. Develop your overall writing skills. Increase your knowledge base.

If you can write a clear and cohesive paper each month, you should be able to write articulate, informative essays on the examination.

Essay Instructions

1. For the free response essays on each century, select a topic from the questions provided (carefully consider what you pick, you will have to do the same during the exam). For the DBQ essays you have no choice, just like on the test.

2. Papers should be “final draft” NEATLY handwritten in blue or black ink of a length of three to five pages. (You may type the essays, but you will not be able type them on the test, so practice writing neatly).

3. Your name, date, title (DBQ #1) and the question you selected should be written at the top of the first page. All pages must be stapled together on looseleaf paper.

4. Free response essays should use research from three different sources (your text may be only one, only one may be internet). You should reference those sources in footnotes or the body of the paper.

5. The rules of proper grammar, spelling, etc. apply.

6. Your ungraded or unnamed (whited out) essay may be shared with other students in the class for the purpose of learning what is a good or not so good essay.

7. All essays are due the dates they are listed on the assignments list and on the essay question page. No papers will be accepted late except under special circumstances to be determined by Mr. Folmer.
