Day 1: Welcome to World History!

Link to this week's presentation:  World History: Intro and Start of School Year

HW: Due before class begins on Wed 8/16 (A Block) or Thurs 8/17 (B Block)

Note: This is also posted on Schoology. Assignments will always be posted in Schoology. HW will be posted as an "event" on the calendar listed by the due date. Formatives and Summatives will be posted as an "assignment" in the current unit folder.

1. To get started, it will help to get to know who you are as a learner and a member of this class. For this reason, you are being asked to complete this "Getting to Know You" Google Survey. It should take approximately 3-5 minutes to complete.
2. Additionally, to help you prepare for future assignments, please download the electronic version of the World History textbook.  This is also in Schoology in the "Resources" folder. Please note: you will not be able to open this file until you have downloaded it (its a large file so give it a few minutes). Please save this file to a folder on your laptop. We will not use the textbook, chapter-to-chapter, very much this year. But it is a helpful resource tool when you need background historical information during research.
3. Finally, to prepare for our next class discussion, please watch the following video, "Our Story in 2 Minutes" (2 minutes long). While you are watching it, pay attention to any patterns or trends you notice about the video--what the video is about, what you observe about the events, etc. You will be asked to discuss this next class time.
