Welcome Back! I hope everyone enjoyed their long weekend. For the first week of the first semester in all of my classes we will begin by going over class policies & expectations. Book assignments & Mygradebook.com log-in information will be given out as well. Students will also take Pre-Tests in all classes. As for specific class information; see below! :)
World History: We will begin by discussing the importance of studying the past & how current events are linked to history. We will begin our investigation of world history by looking at the early civilizations in Mesopotamia & Egypt. We will also focus on the significance of geography & its role in history.
Conflicts of the 20th Century: We will begin by discussing the importance of studying global conflicts as well as the causes & consequences of conflict. We will discuss how conflicts have shaped the world we live in today, & how they will shape the future. A major theme in this course will be what can be done ( or could have been done) to prevent conflicts. We will begin by looking at the state of the world at the turn of the 20th century, & how a long chain of events led to the First World War.
JA 8 B Civics: We will begin by discussing the importance of good citizenship, why we have laws, & where our laws come from. We will discuss the diversity of America & the roots of our Democratic government. Some of this should be review from your history classes!
