Fundamentals of World History

Students must select one famous ancient Greek to write a 2 paragraph research project and present it to the class.  Students will need a visual aid for their presentation which can be in the form of a google slide or poster board with pictures.  We will be spending 2 days in the library so that the students have a chance to print pictures.

We will be finishing up our unit on Ancient Egyptian next week and having an assessment on Thursday, Oct 18.  Our focus has been on the Nile river, the importance of it to the people of Egypt, the role that the pharaohs played to the people of Egypt, and why the pyramids were built.

We started our unit on Ancient Egypt this week.  You should hear your students talking about pharaohs, pyramids, and the Nile River.

Information about the interview project went home today.  Please help your students be successful by participating in this project.  Time will be given in class to type the projects on Monday 9/24 and Tuesday 9/25.  The project will be due on Wednesday 9/26.

The 2018-2019 school year is finally here!  I know it’s a week earlier than usual, but at least we get to ease into the school year with two 4 day weeks!  Here are a few tips to help your students be successful in World History-

1- Watch the news together.  If not every night, at least a few nights a week.  This will help students make connections to the places and events we will be discussing.

2- Sign up for this blog!  Before assessments and projects are due I will be posting information to help be successful.

Please read over the attached syllabus.

I look forward to meeting and getting to know all the students in World History and look forward to meeting parents at Open House on September 6 from 6:00 to 7:30.
