I guess if you are reading this, you are one of my World History 9 students this year.  Welcome, I am glad to have you in class!  We will be busy, but hopefully I will keep your interest.  I like class to be fun and never predictable.  We will  be using lots of technology this year.  In fact a new Smartboard is on its way to my classroom, so I plan to keep things hopping!

As we welcome in a new year, we are also welcoming in a new way of doing things in World History 9!!  We ninth grade history teachers have gotten together and decided to teach by unit rather than by chapter.  We believe this will be a more effective and more interesting way to present the information.  We did this with the idea that it will make things easier for you the learner!  This new approach will allow us to have more time in class for cooperative and interactive activities.  Notes Guides are not gone, but they have gone through an editing process.  I have posted the new format of notes guides, so feel free to get started !!

If you are looking at this page, you are most likely in one of my World History classes, and I would like to welcome you!  I am a rookie blogger, but I am doing my best to learn quickly!  I will integrate technology into all my classes on a regular basis, so get ready.   I am looking forward to a very productive and fun year.
