Chromebook Mania!!

Great job, everyone!!  You guys handled Chromebook role out like pros!  Please remember to keep your Chromebooks charged at night so they are at 100% at the beginning of the school day.

Today in Class:

• I stamped your completed Ch. 1.2 and 1.3 homework assignments.  I tried to talk to each of you about how to format your homework in order to receive your full points.  I know that it can be a bit confusing to learn new homework styles, but keep at it!! Don't give up if you get stuck, just come talk to me.  I put together this little reminder for you on How to Format Your Homework in case you need a quick reference guide.

DUE TOMORROW: Ch. 1.4 key terms and AB3 responses to the standards checks.

UPCOMING: Chapter 1 Test on Monday, August 29.

Week 2 at a Glance

Happy Monday!  Welcome to Week 2 of Humanities II: World History!

In class we have an entire whiteboard dedicated to giving you an overview of our week "At a Glance."  The board gives you some basic info about what is coming up in class, what is being assigned, and what is due.  Please take an opportunity on Mondays to copy down some of that info into your student planner (or whatever calendar you have decided to keep for yourself.)

Here is a digital copy of Week 2 At a Glance.  (Please note that this document may be updated as we go to reflect any lessons that spill over into the next day, etc.)

Weekly Objectives: By Friday you should be able to:

• Describe Roman influences on modern western governments
• Explain what Democratic principles are based on Judeo-Christian Traditions

Today in Class:

• I will collect the Chromebook Distribution permission slips (last page of document) that were assigned on Friday.  Chromebook distribution will happen tomorrow in the Library and will take most of the period.
