US History Unit 3 With Teddy Roosevelt

This is a great test review with Barstow teacher and facilitator, Bill Lopez, playing the part of Teddy Roosevelt. Teddy Roosevelt was the 26th President in the USA. He was responsible for weakening the big monopolies in the country as well as the Panama Canal construction.

There are only 4 US Presidents featured on Mt. Rushmore and Teddy Roosevelt shares the spotlight with Abe Lincoln, Thomas Jefferson, and George Washington. Tune in to find out why.

World History Unit 3 Study Guide

Here is the audio study guide for World History Unit 3. There is a lot of material so please allow enough study time.

World History Unit 3 Day 1-5 Quiz and Review

This is a Cinchcast that is going to take you about 17 minutes to listen to. I suggest that you click on the Cinchcast link on this page and then go to my Cinchcast.com page and download this to your iTunes or Windows Media Player, or any other default audio player you have.

There are a lot of rulers and a lot of wars in these first five day, so be sure to listen to this a few times. Some people are adding these broadcasts to their iPods or other media players and listening in while standing in line before testing. They are getting high grades, too! (hint hint)

Please let me know if these broadcasts are helping you.

Thanks!

Louis XIV Part 1

Louis the Fourteenth was known as the Sun King. He ruled France for over 70 years. It was a time of war, and a time of luxury for France. This is the first part of his life and reign summarized in the Cinchcast featured here.

France Before Louis XIV World History Unit 3

France could not stay out of wars in the country itself and fighting battles elsewhere. This lead to difficulty in getting a solid ruler in the country. Listen in to a summary of life in those times and the power struggles in France.

Philip II and the Spanish Armada

Why did Philip II want to invade England? Did he have good motives? Why was Queen Elizabeth afraid of him and her step sister Mary Queen of Scots? Listen in to get these questions answered.

Philip II of Spain Cinchcast

This is a 10 minute cinch-cast with an introduction to Absolutism in Europe in the 16th and 17th Centuries. This is a first in a series of broadcasts to help you understand Unit 3. This is a very information packed unit and I hope that these Cinch-casts can make it easier for you to remember the variety of rulers.

Absolute Monarchs of Europe (1500-1800) - FREE Presentations in PowerPoint format, Free Interactives and Games

Are you having trouble remembering the Monarchs? Check out this site for lots of help. There are powerpoint presentations and you can listen to audio, too.

This is a difficult unit for World History, but with the right preparation you will do fine on your tests. You are going to have to do some studying every day for success. Make sure you understand one Monarch then move on to the next one. I will do what I can to help by adding shows to Blog Talk Radio and perhaps Cinch, too.

Welcome to Excelsior News

Hello everyone!
I have been wanting to start a blog like this for a long time, and finally have it up and running.  My goal is to make it a great place to get more news and course help out to students and their families.  There will be blog casts using Blog Talk Radio until we find another easier method to use.

I am hoping that I can get more and more participation as this blog grows.  I will monitor comments and am not sure if I will continue to accept them or not.  Right now I would appreciate any positive feedback that I can get, so feel free to comment all you want, and I will post the appropriate ones.  Hopefully that will be all of them.
