Valentine's Day

*Allegedly,* these are relics (bones) of St. Valentine.  I saw this myself my last trip to Rome.  Before we get in a tizzy over who did & who did not get a life-size teddy bear or 400 roses, let's learn a little bit about where tomorrow came from shall we?

The ancient Romans may also be responsible for the name of our modern day of love. Emperor Claudius II executed two men — both named Valentine — on Feb. 14 of different years in the 3rd century A.D. Valentine’s Day, in fact, originated as a liturgical feast to celebrate the decapitation of two third-century Christian martyrs. 

The Catholic Church recognizes at least three different saints named Valentine or Valentinus, all of whom were martyred. One legend contends that Valentine was a priest who served during the third century in Rome. When Emperor Claudius II decided that single men made better soldiers than those with wives and families, he outlawed marriage for young men. Valentine, realizing the injustice of the decree, defied Claudius and continued to perform marriages for young lovers in secret. When Valentine’s actions were discovered, Claudius ordered that he be put to death. Still others insist that it was Saint Valentine of Terni, a bishop, who was the true namesake of the holiday. He, too, was beheaded by Claudius II outside Rome.

The ancient feast held during this time is not one I fell is necessary or even appropriate to post here, but let's just say it involved singe women being peer pressured into being matched with men by pulling names out of a jar.  Sound romantic to you?

Tomorrow is a commercial holiday brought to you by Hallmark & every chocolate & flower company out there, solely for their own profit.  Do you really need 12 commercials to tell you that you should tell the important people in your life how you feel about them?  And that you must do it on 2/14 or you are clearly a terrible person?  The answer should be a very loud NO.

Tomorrow is about capitalism.  Don't let it bother you one bit if you don't get something that shows other people someone loves you.  LOTS of people love you.  They show you every single day.  Love does not require money or gifts.  Ever.

See you tomorrow.  I hope you studied.

EIs...Tokugawa & Meiji Japan; WWI

You should start studying Enduring Issues, definitions, & examples that go with each of the sections of notes for these topics.  You will be writing about them frequently over the next 2 weeks.  Fair warning.

TEST 2/14: Ch 28 Stimulus Exam

Your Chapter 28 Stimulus-Based Question Exam will be on Friday, 2/14.  This exam will be stimulus-based, which means it will only have he new style Regents questions that use documents but rely on content knowledge.  The Quizlet Review has been open since 1/22.  If you have been in class, paid attention, done your homework, and study you should do very well on the test.  STUDY THE REVIEW IN QUIZLET - it will help you with the content you need to answer stimulus-based questions.  Remember, all previous chapters are fair game to show up on your exam so be sure to review those topics in Quizlet, too!


Make up for legal absences is before school (per my make-up policy), last day to make up is Tuesday, 2/25.    Failure to make-up the exam will result in a zero for that test.  Cuts & illegal absences cannot be made up, and anyone late to class will not receive extra time on the exam.  Make-up period ends at 7:15 AM.  To have the same amount of time for the test as was offered in lass, you must arrive to 1823 by 6:45 AM.  You can arrive after that time, but your time ends at 7:15 AM.

If you can't come before school to make up the exam don't be absent for it!

Castle Learning Starts 2/24

Starting Monday, Feb. 24th, all of your Content Exams will be done through Castle Learning.  There will be a deadline to finish at which time you will be locked out of the exam.  Failure to do or complete the exams will lead to a failing course grade.  As the exams are online & open for several days, there will be no make-ups for them.  

As on the Regents Exam, only your "first answer" counts.  There will be no half credit for second tries, etc.

Stimulus Exams, brief quizzes, & vocab will continue to be done in class.

Let me repeat...if you fail to do &/or complete any Castle Learning Exams by the set deadline, you will not have a second chance and will receive the score calculated by CL as your grade.  If you fail as a result of this, you have only yourself to blame. 

QUIZ 2/6: Ch 28 Vocab & Words Due

Vocabulary Quiz on these on Thursday, 2/6.  Your words will be due at that time.  You may write them out as a list on paper OR you may write each on a flash card (use a flashcard for the required homework heading.)   Required homework heading must be used.  Use your knowledge, notes, online textbook, handouts, or the Internet to find the definitions.

Homework Heading (required on all work submitted):
Your Name                                                   Global II
Class Period                                                Assignment
(in this case, your assignment is Ch 28 Vocab)

If you are making flashcards they MUST be rubber-banded together BEFORE submitting AND BEFORE the bell rings (there are rubber bands behind my desk - ask me!), and your top card must be a heading card (see above.)  You will get extra credit for making flash cards.

Make up for legal absences is before school (per my make-up policy), last day to make up is Monday, 2/7.
