Mrs. Ruland's Modern World History Class
Course Information and Documents
5 Themes for Studying World History
This page also has links to the important information and procedures that my students must be familiar with.
MWH Components of Civilization
All students in my Modern World History class must know these 7 components of civilization and their definitions.
All students in my Modern World History class are required to use this form for their weekly news analysis. Additonally, I have a site for some online resources. I also have an HTML version, but the quality is not as good
Mrs. Ruland's Tutorial on Plagiarism and Paraphrasing
This contains vital information that all students must be familiar with. The tutorial is available for reference at any time.
Online Textbooks — These online sources can augment the information in your textbook.
I also offer my students bonus opportunities during the year as stated in the Grading Policy. There are three types of bonuses that are available at any time. Students are reminded that all bonuses are due no later than 1 week before the end of the marking period.
Museum Exhibit Review (pdf)
Museum Exhibit Review (non-pdf)Students that have visited a museum or a historic place in the last 6 months may write a review using this format. The most care should be taken with the last question. That is the answer that will show that you had some intellectual connection with the site.
Students may suggest a WWW resource to add to my list of resources. They may also suggest a description for an existing listing. Any new suggestions must meet criteria for a beneficial research site. Descriptions must be written in a manner that would be appropriate for a teacher to use to describe a site. If you want to do a number of descriptions, you might want to go to a single page and complete a block of links. (This will make it very easy for me to use your description.)
This page gives instructions on what to write to receive bonus credit for watching movies.
