__The Mack Attack__: An Examination of Machiavelli's __The Prince__ and Real World Application. October 2010. Henrico21 document link

Students created posters designed in a Machiavellian style in which they show how a school librarian, a small town mayor, a high school principal, a coach, a teacher, a dean, a history teacher, a parent, or a class president would use Machiavellian principles to "effectively rule" their domain. Posters have to describe and illustrate the ruler's environment. Ex: What would a Machiavellian librarian emphasize in organizing the library? What type of monuments, posters, and technology would decorate the library?

The class discussion: //Does The End Justify The Means?// Students have been studying Machiavelli and are responding to the following modern event: Years ago, Berkeley Mayor Tom Bates destroyed thousands of copies of the Daily Cal (UC-Berkeley) student newspapers that did not endorse him. What would Machiavelli think of this and why? Parents, administrators, and community members were invited to participate in our discussion via the CoverItLive event below.

Spring 2010 Henrico21 document link [[file:3 H21GodwinLyndeIndustrialRevolutionSpring2010 doc1_Revised.doc]]
Student reflections after our studies of the English Industrial Revolution. Two essential questions were put forth: 1) //Is progress always a good thing?// and 2) //Where can you see the legacy of the Industrial Age in today's modern society?// Videos address pollution as seen today, the changing relationship of producer and consumer, the ethical dilemmas progress can bring to mankind, or the need for consumers to deliberately purchase handcrafted items over mass produced items. More excellent videos can be found on Industrial Revolution (the English 1800s and Current Issues) Showcase Page The assignment prompts and rubric are found in the following document

__The Edge Of The World-__ An Examination of Primary Resources: Their Validity, Their Voice, and The World Of The Explorers. November 2010 Henrico 21 Document link

**Summary** :  People might be surprised to find out that in the Middle Ages, people didn't think the world was flat. An American journalist named Washington Irving invented that phrase. He wrote a biography of Christopher Columbus, and [wrote] this scene in which Columbus faces the church fathers and tells them that the world is round. He's accused of heresy for saying that the world is round when everyone knows the world is flat. Irving totally made this up. (from Terry Jones of Medieval History) Thomas Friedman, author of __The World is Flat__ , speaks of the technologies that have made today’s modern world flat. Using these two paradigms, students will analyze an extensive collection of primary and secondary sources in order to examine in what ways and to what degree the European explorations of the 1450s – 1700 did impact or “flatten” the world contributing to the “first” globalization.

**Essential questions or objectives** : In what ways did European exploration transform global interactions between 1450 and 1700?

Module 1: Why did Europeans travel to North and South America? What did they find there? What were the results of contact with Native Americans?

Module 2: What were the features of the Sudanese Empires in West Africa? How did the Atlantic Slave trade evolve and how did it transform the lives of those involved?

Module 3: In what ways did the Columbian Exchange and the opening of trade passages across the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans shape globalization from 1450 – 1700?

<span style="color: #1815e0; font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 150%;">Our Microblogging Class Lecture On Thursday Feb 11th, 2010 I was absent all day- in the emergency room as my father recovered from heart bypass surgery. I didn't want to miss a chance to teach my students about the ideas of the Industrial Revolution and how they affect our lives today - so I taught, all day, from the emergency room using this embedded microblog. It was a great success. Just click on the play button to review our discussion. Be sure to click on the little red play links in order to see the video clips as students did.

Students created altered books - created a Cold War dictionary where they were to reprocess a list of major cold war events. Many students created works of art in books but this creation by David P, Eric M, and Abe O was a brilliant digital example.=====
