Assigned Materials The INTERNET! Handouts, PowerPoint/KeyNote presentations Primary sources And did I mention…The Internet!

Evaluation Major Research Project Examinations (with review), Class Presentations, On-Line Activities (web quests), and In-Class Quizzes. (with review) HW – Nightly CQ’s

What is a CQ? Each lecture starts with a “CQ” which is a critical question. The CQ is what we answer each day, the objective of the lesson. By the end of the lesson, students should know the answer to the CQ.(Notes) CQ’s are very important! Each night students will once again answer the CQ for HW. CQ HW’s are worth 10 points each and accumulate quickly. They are to be ed to me before the next class.

Finally…. Communication between parent and teacher is crucial. Please feel free to contact me with any concerns you may have. I will do the same. Let’s visit my website and see how it works!
