Welcome to SSHS and to World History!!! I am so pleased to have you in my class this semester and cannot wait to know you better.  I have many wonderful things planned for you to better understand our world and the amazing history it holds. We do have A LOT of material to cover this semester (Like 9,000 years of history in less than 90 days A LOT), but we need to cover some housekeeping things first. So..... Syllabus Procedures and How To's You will go over these in homeroom, but it is good to have them as a reference! SSHS Student Handbook SCS Code of Conduct

Study Plan for World History Exam (Click here!) I have created an outline d and detailed study plan for you to complete in preparation for your exam.  My suggestion on how to use this: Choose the areas that you think will help you the most.  If videos help, watch CrashCourse.  If you want access to more indepth reading, do the Regents Prep Pack.   Challenge yourself.  You need to make yourself work for this information in order to better understand what you are learning.  Don't just skim over a paper, really read.  Make notes.  Highlight.  Look or read something that makes you truly think!! Focus on material we have not gotten to in class.  We will cover Unit 8, but we don't have time to go very far.  This also makes up 20-24% of our exam. For various reasons, we weren't able to spend the time I wanted to here.  So make sure to review this stuff.   Study.  Look over this information.  Use the tools I have given you.  Take the time to value yourself and your educa

FIRST, we need to complete to online tutorial for your NCFE.   We will all watch the video tutorial on my screen. You will then complete the individual tutorial on your chromebook.  From your app menu, choose the NCTest app and select tutorial.  Follow the directions. Sign the paper that I pass around stating you have completed the tutorial. ____________________________________________________________ This week, we will begin our prepping for the NCFE you will take in a couple of weeks. It is important that you are active in your studying for this exam.  It counts toward your final grade, which should be very important to you.  We have been tasked with learning the entire history of the world in less than 90 day!! It is nearly impossible, so there are many things we have not covered in depth (or at all).  Below are links to documents and resources you can use to study.  Some of these will be covered in class, but you need to take it upon yourself to study on your own time!

The AP US GoPo class is holing a mock election on May 31.  Before this can happen, they need to hold an open democratic primary.  I want you to participate!!!  Please complete the form below to have your voice heard in our school presidential election!!  When you have submitted your vote, look at  THIS !!
