HW Due next week class #1 (first day in Global)
All Classes,
Use your notes from class, handouts and research to create a project that clearly explains the important changes humans experienced as they transitioned through the Paleolithic into Neolithic and early civilization. What important discoveries, ideas and changes transformed the way people lived?
You have several options including a cartoon strip, poem, rap, or song. If you have other creative ideas ask and I will probably say yes.
I only require that your project be interesting, factual, and full of the important changes/stepping stones humanity experienced in its journey to civilized society.
This will be included as your first project grade. Please take the time and thought necessary to produce something you would be proud to give to the principal.
This is your first project grade. Report Cards are coming!

First day of school.
Welcome to school! Hope you felt welcome in our SLC(small learning community) Invention. I will be updating this post shortly with your first assignment.
1- When you attend your second class you should be able to explain at east 3-4 reasons why we study history in school. Relate your thoughts on history to our school questions (Who am I? Who do I want to be? How will I get there?) How can a class on history help you answer these questions?
Please expect to complete one current events HW per week plus content based assignments. Because of the school budget we are still working on getting some sort of text into the hands of our students for HW, research and study purposes.
Once "Blackboard.com" is up and running I will probably discontinue this seperate blog.
