Welcome to my blogspot where you can find materials, insights and
announcements. I'll try my best to update once a unit or so. If I notice
a lot of people are using this I will add extras such as links to
videos, articles, pictures, etc. more often.
...just a few things to start the year off...
-Students have an outline for unit I. It has a reading schedule on the
back that can easily be posted or copied to a refrigerator or central
location in your home. Get to know the schedule well and use it to get
ahead.
-Our first test is coming up quickly. Take time now to prepare a draft
for the essay and I will give you feedback. If you get it to me early,
you'll get more meaningful feedback, than if you get it to me the day
before the test.
-Contact me anytime with questions at 616 850 6240 or
callendr@ghaps.org. I also have a google voice number (616 209 9107) if you are into
that. It is not a direct line to me, but it is a direct line to my
direct line, so in an emergency, it will let me know someone is trying
to contact me.
-Here's what we are studying this trimester in short (really, really short) ...
Unit I: Nomads settle and farm and first civilizations develop,
Unit II: The first civilizations grow and spread,
Unit III: Everything intensifies and begins to "globalize".
-The book is available online. www.phschool.com
Username: student ID + 0 Password: GHHS12
Here, there is a readable and audio version of the book. There are
practice quizzes, interactive maps, links to articles, videos and more.
-Be the author of your success...you are in charge!
