Supplies Each student will have a textbook World History in their locker Take it home as a reference, it will NOT be needed for class Later in the year all students will receive a review book (Prentice Hall) Each student will need a sturdy folder or binder for handouts Each student will need both pens and pencils Note: ALL written assignments will be in PEN (black or blue ink)

Note Taking There will be notes during EVERY class. I do not have a preference, either iPad or hand-written The most important part is that you are organized!

Ready to Start? Before we begin the curriculum we have to review a great deal of 9th grade material as a full understanding of this is necessary to comprehend the continuities and changes of events that start around 1750 C.E. Final words Be on time, be prepared for class, do not be afraid to ask questions on what you do not know, you may not be the only one! If you are going to be absent for more than two days, you must let me know in advance as this course will go at a quick pace.
