Week One: Hello and Intro

Image result for welcome
I am extremely excited to have you in my class this semester! I look forward to delving into World History and learning about all the amazing people who have walked this Earth before us!

But...before we can do any of that, we need to get some housekeeping things out of the way.

Please begin the class by completing today's Daily Question.  On a blank sheet of paper, write the question (in this case the beginning of a sentence) and then complete it.  Keep up with this paper, because we will be adding to it and turning in for a grade on Friday.
