The Wars

Well Fans, we are on to the World Wars now and the tumultous 20th century. I think it would be intersting to "research" these topics with some person to person surveying. If you can find someone (grandparent, teacher, etc.) who was alive and can remember the events of those years, have an informal chat with them.

Also, the themes of the course would be interesting to relate to the impact of the wars.
5 Themes of AP World History
1. Impact of interaction among and within major societies.
2. Impact of technology, economics, and demography on the people and the environment.
3. Systems of social structure and gender structure.
4. Cultural, religious and intellectual developments.
5. Changes in functions and structures of states and in attitudes toward states and political identities, including the emergence of the nation-state.

So get this: 10 points for recapping an interview on this blog and up to 5 points each for discussing each of the 5 themes. Put some thought into it! We can do this all the up to Spring Break. Some of you need the points!
