9 October 2009 All students have now made their portfolios on their wikipage. Parents and students can make comments on students work by using the discussion section on each student's individual page. All teacher feedback on student work will also be in the discussion part of each student's page. All students as of today's date should have the following work on their page: SS6G9.a; SS6E5.a; SS6E5.b&c; and the video project that was due on Sep 30. After the break we will finish Unit 3 of the Georgia Standards and move on to Unit 4 shortly thereafter.

Highlight of the week (25 Sep 2009)

In the video below Jason, Kash, and Wesley demonstrate their understanding of the lesson standard SS6G9.a (Explain the major concerns of Europeans regarding the issues such as acid rain in Germany, air pollution in the United Kingdom, and the nuclear disaster in Chernobyl, Ukraine). They nailed it!

27 July 2009 This is your one stop shop for all your Humanities (social studies) study needs. I will be your Humanities teacher this year. My name is Mr. Pope. We will attempt to keep all our work on our Humanities wiki site so that all the work is in one "portfolio" that you can take with you for future use, ie college admissions and so that we can share our work with each other for publication, discussion and synthesis.
