Civil Rights Current Events Resources
Thank you all who attended the Zoom Monday. We were so impressed by your questions. Ms. Fowler put together this great starter list of additional resources for those who would like to learn/read more about anti-racism.
Here are some articles tying to both history and use of language on the topic, as well statistics on systemic racism in America.
'Riots,' 'violence,' 'looting': Words matter when talking about race and unrest, experts say
‘Looting’ Comment From Trump Dates Back to Racial Unrest of the 1960s
Like Trump, JFK faced riots. Here’s what he did to stop the violence in Birmingham in 1963.
The lessons of Robert Kennedy’s moral leadership on race relations
7 Ways We Know Systemic Racism Is Real (I know this may seem odd that this is put out by Ben & Jerry's as a part of their corporate social activism, but it is very consumable and well done.)

4/7 Classics Update
In our final week of optional study, we will continue to look at work that we will be digging into the first week back from Spring Break, as we move into required study.
As explained last week, these will be required works that we will look at, but because they are very complex you have the option to look at them earlier and with more time to explore them.
If you have not looked at last week's, here it is again. I would look at that before moving to this week's.
For this week, we be moving on to Virgil's Book of the Dead (Bk VI of The Aeneid). If you chose to not read the first 5 books of The Aeneid, you can still look at this with the focus on how Virgil depicts the nature of death and afterlife.
All of the Books of the Dead (Homer, Plato, and Virgil) also make up Chapter 15 in our Classical Mythology book. So if you have that book with you and you would rather just look at the chapter that works as well.

We will be shifting to Cuba this week. Please read through this entire ppt for details.

For those of you who have submitted 3-level outlines and are prepared to move to drafting the Investigation section, here is some guidance.
I will open up a turnitin.com assignment for the drafts. Please do not submit a draft unless you have submitted a 3-level outline and received feedback from me.
3/31 Classics Update
For this weeks OPTIONAL study, we will be looking at Plato's Myth of Er. While this is optional to look at now, it will be a piece of our required look at the Afterlife that we will use when we return.
This is Book X of Plato's Republic written in the 4th century BCE (about 300ish years after The Odyssey) It is NOT a real myth, Plato wrote his own "myth" to capture his ideas about the afterlife.
We have to look at this before we can continue with The Aeneid, as Aeneas's next stop on his journey will be his visit to the Underworld (But it is not written until 3 centuries AFTER Plato and is Roman).
Just like you did with Homer's Book of the Dead (BK. XI of The Odyssey) you should read this noting details on the nature of the dead and death. As well, as look for similarities and differences in the ideas of Plato vs. the earlier Homer. (We will then compare them both to Virgil).
I will open a discussion board on turnitin for questions and ideas. This is a VERY complicated text, so it is perfect for clarifying questions and discussion.
3/23 IB HL 2 Update
With the announcement of IB exams being cancelled (see the SHS IB page), I am at a bit of a loss as to how to move forward. We should have information by the end of the week with more details on how scores will be awarded and how we should wrap up the courses.
Until then, if you are interested in moving forward with Vietnam, here is a chapter on Search and Destroy Missions from an US Army published book on Vietnam Strategy by Lieutenant General John H. Hay, Jr.

3/23 IB 11th Block Update
For our OPTIONAL resources this week we are going to continue exploring 1950s culture.
Here is the Nonconformity ppt that we didn't finish in class, and a direct excerpt from Michael Harrington's 1960 book The Other America Explore if you choose to.
The ppt. leaves off with a discussion question on The Other America and nonconformists by circumstance. I have opened a class discussion on turnitin.com for you guys to explore your thoughts on The Other America (text book reading from last week or excerpt) or the Levittown Myers reading from last week, or any other ideas on nonconformity by circumstance.
For those wanting to work on the IA, I strongly suggest working on the 3-level Outline and getting feedback before moving on to drafting. Turnitin is still open for 3-level submissions.

3/23 Classics Update
This week, for our OPTIONAL study we are going to start The Aeneid in World Mythology.
Here is a powerpoint that introduces Virgil the author and give the context to the work that was actually written as a piece of state propaganda for Caesar Augustus.
For this week, we will do Chapters 1-5 (pg. 119), with an OPTIONAL turnitin discussion where I will post some questions that you can respond to or you can pose questions as well.
IB HL 2 Vietnam Resources
As I referenced in my email this morning, I will start updating with resources for Vietnam and the End of the Cold War.
Causes of Vietnam OPTIONAL resources
Episode 2: Riding the Tiger of Ken Burns:Vietnam (Non-Netflix) explores 1961-1963 and focuses on Kennedy's decisions and the Diem regime.
Episode 2: America's Mandarin of Vietnam: A Television History explores 1954-1963 and focuses on broader Cold War policy applied to Vietnam and Diem.
Here are two opposing pieces on the inevitability of escalation of Vietnam. Read them with a critical lens looking for where the two authors agree and how you could evaluate them for strengths and limitations.
