SS8

Welcome to Social Studies 8! I'm very excited to be teaching this course!

We started off the class by going over the Course Outline and classroom expectations. Please bring home the Course Outline for your parents to sign. Then students completed a questionnaire for me to get to know them, and we played a game of "2 truths, 1 lie". After that, I introduced the concept of 'historical significance'. I introduced myself in the form of a timeline, and explained all the events that shaped who I am today.

Students then started working on a plan for their own personal timeline assignment, which we'll continue next class.

Reminders:
  • Have your course outlines signed!
  • Talk to your parents about events for the timeline assignment
