SUMMER ASSIGNMENT

**All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing." (Edmund Burke)**

If you want extra help, I am regularly available. If you want help in the morning you will have to see me by 7:10 am. I am regularly in my room before 7am. If you come later than 7:10am, it is likely we won't have enough time to cover the material and I will need more than a couple of minutes to prepare for class. It's best to tell me the day before that you would like to come in early to see me. I am also available during my open periods (see below) and after school. **UNLESS YOU HAVE AN AWAY GAME OR PERFORMANCE AND NEED TO CATCH A BUS YOU ARE EXCUSED FROM PRACTICE FOR EXTRA HELP SESSIONS WITH A TEACHER--THIS IS A SCHOOL WIDE RULE.**

They should try to get through the p.172 of the packet- evaluating a monopoly market. Textbook Readings for Chapter 10 and questions are listed on my website. For Tuesday they should complete “Let’s Play Monopoly” The Makeup for any students who missed yesterday’s exam is Monday at 6:45am Monopoly basics  [] Monopoly total revenue [] Monopoly marginal revenue []

**Periods 4, 5 and 6 Western Civ** They have a homework due on the black plague. Please collect it. There are 3 video clips I’d like them to watch There are 3 videocassettes on my desk. Each clip is around 8 to 10 minutes. Please show them in order. They are all cued to the proper position. Volume 1- Siena Italy If the computer streaming is working properly, you can also get it on this website [] at the 29:45 point Volume 2- Northern Europe in the 14th Century. If the computer streaming is working properly, you can also get it on this website [] at the 37 minute point. Volume 3- Florence in the 15th Century. If the computer streaming is working properly, you can also get it on this website [] at the 10:50 point You’ll have to rewind the tape approximately 10 minutes after each clip. I know it can be difficult but the other segments will not be particularly helpful to them. After each video clip they should write 3 words that they feel is indicative of what the clip was about They should then write a sentence which includes the 3 words. Lastly, they should write a sentence what if anything more they would want to ask based on that clip. Have them turn in the sheet with those questions and answers.
