Hello Parents and Students,
I hope you are staying healthy both mentally and physically. This email explains the plan for World History as we complete Distance Learning this quarter.
All work will be posted on the Freedom High School web page under Academics. https://ca01001129.schoolwires.net/domain/1969 Once you click on the Academics tab, you will see different icons for the various subject areas. Click the Social Studies icon and select World History. All assignments will be posted here each Monday, starting with tomorrow, April 6th. I will also have all this information posted on my web pages.
All assignments for World History will be assigned through Clever and your textbook online, TCI. You will complete and submit all assignments online, using your Student ID number as your username and password to log in to Clever. If you do not have access to the Internet, you can request a paper copy of the assignments through the A-office. You have a full week to complete the assignments. The weekly assignments will be due 7 days later, on the following Monday at 10am.
Everything you complete will go towards your 4th quarter grade. This is your opportunity to raise your semester grade. By completing all of the Distance Learning assignments this quarter, your semester grade will improve. For example, if you currently have a B+ from the 3rd quarter and want an A, or have a D and want to bring it up to a C, make sure to complete the assignments during Distance Learning to raise your grade. If you are not completing the assignments you will be contacted.
As we navigate through this crisis, I want to support each of you the best that I can. Know that I’m here to support you, so please contact me. I can be reached through email at [email protected] and will do my best to respond in a timely manner. I can also be reached by phone or through Zoom (video chat). If you would like to speak either by phone or Zoom, please email me and I would be happy to arrange this.
Lastly, I plan to set up a virtual office hour on Zoom each Friday morning beginning at 9:30am and lasting until 10:30 or later. Students, please come to ask questions about the textbook reading, receive help completing the weekly assignments, and discuss history together. At 9:15am on Fridays, I will post a link and password to enter the online conference on my personal websites https://ca01001129.schoolwires.net/Domain/1592 and http://mrcooperwh.weebly.com/. I hope to see you there.
The hardships brought by this virus are devastating. We have been robbed of a spring that was supposed to be spent working jobs to pay bills, playing sports in pursuit of championships, attending dances to pursue relationships, and learning together as a school community. Now we must temporarily distance ourselves in order to protect our own well-being and to preserve the healthcare system’s ability to save lives. Do whatever you can to support your family, neighbors, friends, and teachers. Practice social distancing, but stay social. Text, Snap, FaceTime, TikTok…is this still a thing? Read books. Create memes. Maybe even keep a journal! Younger generations are going to be eager to hear how we survived this time. We are living through history, and our brave reactions to this moment will shape the future.
Best regards,
Mr. Cooper

Journal #24
In 2016, President Obama's Treasury Secretary Jack Lew announced a plan to replace President Andrew Jackson's image on the $20 bill with Harriet Tubman's. At the time, Donald Trump disagreed with the plan, saying it was "pure political correctness." It was supposed to take effect in 2020, but the Trump Administration has delayed the implementation of the new currency and its future is unclear. (Andrew Jackson is a controversial figure, as President he ordered the Trail of Tears, the forced relocation of Native Americans from the Southeast to Oklahoma).
Do you agree with this plan? Why or why not? If you could put any American who is not currently on currency on it, who would it be and why?
Assignment: Watch World Wars Part II and complete the worksheet.

Journal #22 Anthony Acevedo is the only Mexican-American among 225,000 registered Holocaust survivors in the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum's database. His lived a remarkable life. He was born in San Bernadino, California to undocumented parents. In 1937 at the age of 13, his parents were deported to Mexico. Acevedo was 17 years old when on December 7, 1941, the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor. He was moved by the attack to travel from back to the United States to enlist in the Army. In the early stages of the Battle of the Bulge in December 1944, Acevedo was working as a medic when he was captured by the Nazis. He was forced to work in the Berga subcamp of the infamous Buchenwald Concentration Camp. As Nazi Germany became increasingly desperate in the final days of World War II, Acevedo endured increasingly harsh labor. He risked his life to document the deaths and murder of about half of the 350 American soldiers at Berga in a secret diary. He described his decision to document his experiences as a "moral obligation." The U.S. Army directed Berga survivors to keep their stories secret. In 2008, Acevedo publicly shared his story with CNN and the news that American soldiers had been used for slave labor at Berga went viral for the first time. Lawmakers recognized Acevedo at a ceremony in Orlando in 2010, but he decided to boycott the ceremony. He passed away in 2018 at age 93. Please read his obituary by CNN. Anthony Acevedo risked his life in order to keep a diary that documented the atrocities he witnessed as a POW. Would you have done the same, why or why not? What is the importance of primary sources like Anthony Acevedo's in establishing the truth about the Holocaust? OR Why do you think that the U.S. Government made Prisoners of War like Anthony Acevedo keep their experiences in Nazi slave labor camps secret? Explain. Do you agree with this decision? |

David Irving has been described as one of the most dangerous authors that denies the Holocaust. In 1993, the American author Deborah Lipstadt published the book Denying the Holocaust, the Growing Assault on Truth and Memory in which she discredited Irving's books, showing how he cherry-picked and twisted historical sources in order to create his argument that the Holocaust never occurred. Irving responded by suing Lipstadt for libel in British courts. Irving claimed Lipstadt damaged his reputation by lying about him in her book. This set up a trial known as Irving vs Penguin Books Ltd that Lipstadt documented in her 2006 book History on Trial. The case took 4 years of preparation and 4 weeks of deliberation. In the end, Lipstadt won and was cleared of all accusations against her. The judge wrote that Irving was an anti-Semite who "for his own ideological reasons persistently and deliberately misrepresented and manipulated historical evidence."

Democrats do not have the super majority of 67 senators that are needed to actually vote to convict and remove the President from office.

Assignment:
Totalitarian Art Exhibition. Complete the worksheet and write a 4 paragraph newspaper article about your experience during the art exhibition.
Research totalitarianism by viewing the propaganda art in the gallery walk. The propaganda poster may seem appealing, but you must speak to classmates and take notes about the "secret" information they have been given, using it to complete the worksheet. The secret information will inform you of the troubling aspects of totalitarianism that the government hopes to hide. Next, as a reporter, you must expose totalitarianism to readers of your newspaper in the United States. Write a 4 paragraph newspaper article. Expose totalitarianism to your readers. Explain the brutal actions totalitarian governments are taking and how they are building support for those actions using fear and propaganda.
Suggested guidelines for 4 paragraph newspaper article:
Paragraph 1: Explain what totalitarian governments in Europe want their citizens and foreigners to believe about their leaders and policies, using examples from the propaganda posters as evidence.
Paragraph 2: Describe what life is really like under these totalitarian governments, using examples from the secret information as evidence.
Body Paragraph 3: Explain what you think accounted for the rise of totalitarian states after World War I, using the information from Chapter 23 in the textbook as evidence.
Conclusion Paragraph: Evaluate the rise of totalitarian states and predict the impact you think their existence will have on world affairs.
