Welcome to Day 11. Please watch the videos listed in the title.
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLBDA2E52FB1EF80C9

Please read this information:

• The term Renaissance, literally means "rebirth" and is the period in European civilization immediately following the Middle Ages, conventionally held to have been characterized by a surge of interest in classical learning and values. The Renaissance also witnessed the discovery and exploration of new continents, the substitution of the Copernican for the Ptolemaic system of astronomy, the decline of the feudal system and the growth of commerce, and the invention or application of such potentially powerful innovations as paper, printing, the mariner's compass, and gunpowder. To the scholars and thinkers of the day, however, it was primarily a time of the revival of classical learning and wisdom after a long period of cultural decline and stagnation. (http://history-world.org/renaissance.htm)
• The Protestant Reformation was the 16th-century religious, political, intellectual and cultural upheaval that splintered Catholic Europe, setting in place the structures and beliefs that would define the continent in the modern era. In northern and central Europe, reformers like Martin Luther, John Calvin and Henry VIII challenged papal authority and questioned the Catholic Church’s ability to define Christian practice. They argued for a religious and political redistribution of power into the hands of Bible- and pamphlet-reading pastors and princes. The disruption triggered wars, persecutions and the so-called Counter-Reformation, the Catholic Church’s delayed but forceful response to the Protestants. (http://www.history.com/topics/reformation)
• The Scientific Revolution was nothing less than a revolution in the way the individual perceives the world. As such, this revolution was primarily an epistemological revolution -- it changed man's thought process. It was an intellectual revolution -- a revolution in human knowledge. Even more than Renaissance scholars who discovered man and Nature (see Lecture 1), the scientific revolutionaries attempted to understand and explain man and the natural world. Thinkers such as the Polish astronomer Nicholas Copernicus (1473-1543), the French philosopher René Descartes (1596-1650) and the British mathematician Isaac Newton (1642-1727) overturned the authority of the Middle Ages and the classical world. And by authority I am not referring specifically to that of the Church -- the demise of its authority was already well under way even before the Lutheran Reformation had begun. The authority I am speaking of is intellectual in nature and consisted of the triad of Aristotle (384-322), Ptolemy (c.90-168) and Galen (c.130-201). The revolutionaries of the new science had to escape their intellectual heritage. With this in mind, the revolution in science which emerged in the 16th and 17th centuries has appeared as a watershed in world history. The long term effects of both the Scientific Revolution and the modern acceptance and dependence upon science can be felt today in our daily lives. And notwithstanding some major calamity -- science and the scientific spirit will be around for centuries to come. (http://www.historyguide.org/earlymod/lecture10c.html)
• European politics, philosophy, science and communications were radically reoriented during the course of the “long 18th century” (1685-1815) as part of a movement referred to by its participants as the Age of Reason, or simply the Enlightenment. Enlightenment thinkers in Britain, in France and throughout Europe questioned traditional authority and embraced the notion that humanity could be improved through rational change. The Enlightenment produced numerous books, essays, inventions, scientific discoveries, laws, wars and revolutions. The American and French Revolutions were directly inspired by Enlightenment ideals and respectively marked the peak of its influence and the beginning of its decline. The Enlightenment ultimately gave way to 19th-century Romanticism. (http://www.history.com/topics/enlightenment)

ROME


I learned this: That the Holy Roman Empire was called that because the emperors believed they gained their powers from being descended from Roman emperors. That the Byzantine Empire was also called the East Roman Empire, and when people say "the fall of rome," they mean the fall of the Western Roman Empire.

INTRO to the 5 Week Study Challenge

Hello fellow AP World History students! Anna Foster here, trying to help us all pass a test, whether it be to prove something to yourself, your peers, your parents, or your college. I know we can probably all pass the test, but I know we have to study a lot!

We have 29 days until the AP World Test starting today, Wednesday the 13th, until the date of the test, May the 12th. I will now detail a five week plan beginning with the rest of this week for us all to pass the test. This plan will include one cheat day per week for you to not study at all. I will make the "schedule" as if all of our cheat days are on Sunday, but if you have a cheat day on a different day, just make sure you are caught up with me by the next Monday. I will make the lesson plans for each day ahead of time so that you can get ahead of me if you want. If it sounds like too much for you, just try your best!

This study challenge will center around John Green's Crash Course videos, which I believe are an excellent and entertaining way to remember some of the most important parts of World History. Also, on a three day repeating cycle, I will include a practice test, study material, and essay prompt. Practice test days are self explanatory. Refresh yourself afterwards on the ones you missed. If it's too hard, make it open book for yourself. Study material will include cram packets, infographics, or quizlets for you to simply read over. Essay prompts will be just like in class when we create a thesis and write down the bullet points for our paragraphs.

Consider this Day 1 of Week 1. Happy studying!
