20TH CENTURY WORLD HISTORY

How the course works• Refer often to your syllabus! Your Papers are the syllabus• Paper 1 = 1 Paper: DBQ style writing

• Communism in Crisis 1976-1989• Struggle after Mao’s death Deng Xiaoping’s 4 modernizations

• “Prescribed Subject 3”

• Paper 2 = 2 Papers: general knowledge questions• Topic 3: Origins and Development of authoritarian and single-party states:

Hitler, Stalin, Mao• Topic 5: The Cold War

• Paper 3 = HOTA = 3 Papers: general knowledge questions• US Civil War• Mexican Revolution• Cold War• Civil Rights

How the course works• Remind me often to say which paper we are currently

discussing – as I will forget to mention “Hey, we are currently on Paper 1…”

• I will run through events chronologically as much as possible, with brief explorations into other topics should they be necessary

• Your syllabus should be by your side at all moments so you can refer to what we are discussing daily

Assignments• Yes, we have large papers• We also have:

• Primary Source readings – DBQ style• Presentations• Analysis and creation of Propaganda• Film/Documentary analysis from China, Nazi Germany, USSR, US• Research

How to cite within IB 20th C• Any “paper” turned in will be turned in using Turnitin.com

unless otherwise specified• In class assignments are generally NOT papers• History, as a disciplines, uses Chicago citations• We do NOT use MLA. • I will briefly explain how to use Chicago and we will

practice at some point (maybe)

Chicago style citations• Chicago uses footnotes or endnotes• Footnotes appear at the bottom of an individual page• Endnotes appear at the end of the totality of the work, but

before the bibliography• Both have a bibliography that follows the work• Footnotes bibliography will appear after the last page of

the work• Endnotes bibliography will appear after the last page of

the work AND after all of the notes• Look at the examples on the next page: note how

footnotes or endnotes can be used either to cite information or to provide explanatory notes

Chicago Citations

Footnotes Endnotes

How to cite within footnotes/endnotes• After entering text on word, click references, click insert footnote. A small

number should appear at the bottom of the current page. • Book• Note – 1. Firstname Lastname, Title of Book (Place of publication, Year of

publication), page number. • Bibliography 1. Lastname, Firstname. Title of Book. Place of Pub:

Publisher, Year of Pub. • Journal• Note 1. Firstname Lastname, “Title of Article,” Journal Name volume

number, issue number (date of pub): page number• Bib 1. Lastname, Firstname. “Title of Article.” Journal Name volume

number, issue number (date of pub): all page numbers• If Electronic: • Note 1. …page number, access date (month day, year), web address• Bib 1 … page numbers. Access date (month day, year). Web address.

Where to go if you are uncertain how to cite

•Purdue OWL•http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/•All citation types and methods for various sources

•Memorize the formula – do not rely on easybib or other methods that cite for you

Why do we cite? • “Take the issue of documentation. For an academic, there

is something sacred about a citation. The proper citation of a source is a small tribute to the hard work, diligence, intelligence, and integrity of someone dedicated enough to make a contribution to knowledge. For you, citations and bibliographies are pointless hoops to jump through and you often treat these requirements carelessly. Further, our differences on the issue of giving or taking proper credit accounts for the fact that you so seldom take plagiarism as seriously as I do.”

Historiography• The study of historical writing. • Orthodox – US is a city upon a hill, Wilsonian idealism. • Revisionist – Zinn (people’s history), Chomsky – we are

imperialists but we do not recognize it, counter-culture• Post-Revisionist – John Lewis Gattis – we made some

mistakes, we did the right things
