Age of Religious Wars

To help in the creation of your timeline and to help get some of the details of the era, here are a couple of videos on the Age of Religious Wars ...

An Intro

A Focus on France

Reformation

In order to properly create your Reformation Propaganda videos, not only should you be reading Ch. 13 (QUIZ WED!!!) and referencing your SageHistory notes, but here are a few videos from a good teacher and fellow AP Euro/Gov teacher - Tom Richey. You can follow him on Twitter @TomRichey and subscribe to his YouTube channel, he is a wealth of knowledge for all things AP Euro.

Causes of the Reformation

Martin Luther's Reformation

The Catholic Counter-Reformation

WWII in Satire

I challenged students to create newscast from the perspective of either the Axis Powers or the Allies, much like that of The Daily Show and Cobert Report. The students took this basic concept and expanded upon it. They were given certain events they had to cover, and options on others. The following are the videos they produced. The videos are clever, and do a good job covering the events of WWII in unique ways. The students were asked to be sensitive to certain topics, and respectful of these events.

As a class we understand and respect all of those that lost their lives in various forms during WWII, and are not trying to glamorize or glorify any people or groups, nor or we trying to be disrespectful to people or events. They students are using satire to point out the extreme flaws in logic and tragedy of events. Please keep an open mind when viewing.

Allied Perspective

Axis Powers Perspective

 

Age of Napoleon

We are at it again, the students of AP Euro have filmed and produced their videos on the rise to power, reign, and fall of Napoleon.

Video #1 - Covers the Consulate phase of France from 1799 to 1804

Video #2 - Covers the Reign of Napoleon and his fall from power at Waterloo, 1804 to 1815

This class has a personality all it's own, and it shows in these student videos. Enjoy.

Scientific Revolution Videos

Scientific Revolution Videos

The Scientific Revolution

So instead of reinventing the wheel (pun intended) here is another AP Euro teacher video, her animation is better than mine (but don't get any ideas).

This video covers the reasons for the Scientific revolution and the Major players involved. Watch the video and read the assigned pages (417-429) and be prepared to discuss these topics in class tomorrow. Quiz will be on Fri!

Constitutionalism: The Conflict

Along with watching this video, make sure you have read your textbook! As always this is just the big picture, not the details (otherwise this video would be 30 minutes or longer , not just 15 min)

Quiz on Friday

Unit 2 (Religious Wars, Absolutism, and Constitutionalism) Test on Tue/Wed!!
