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!

I told you to check here to see what you will need to work on if there was no school.  Today, I want you to be safe, and enjoy your day.  When you return, we will continue with our review in attempts to best prepare you for your NCFE next week.

Global History and Geography Prep Pack:   A great resource that covers in outline form many topics we have not gotten to in order to give you a little knowledge of what we are talking about. World History Cram Packet:   I have given each of you a booklet to keep with you during class and to use as a study guide.  Take notes and don't lose it! World History EOC Revie...
