1. Welcome! If you are taking Pre- AP World History I or World History II with Miss Sabey in room 3040, you are in the CORRECT class! Please find your seat and take out a pen or pencil.

2. Name cards Fold an index card in half (hamburger style) Write your first AND last name on one side of the index card, then prop it on your desk. Because I tend to butcher names, I am going to go through the rows and ask you to call your name out when you’re up. Thanks!

3. Journal We will start each class by writing historical journals. In these journals, you will be asked to comment or reflect on historical events. These will stay in a section of your notebook and will be graded on test days during notebook checks. You will be writing these journals during the first 5 minutes of every class. Please label each journal by date. Today, I want you to begin by writing for 5-10 minutes, on the sheet provided to you, about:

Do you think history affects the way the world is today? What are some negative things that have changed the world? What are some positive things that have changed the world? What is history?... (the burning question!) Why is it important? How should it be taught?

23. Wordle… For 30 seconds, think quietly about your definition of history in one word Use a sheet of computer paper to write that word down large enough so I can see it from my computer. When I call your name, hold up your word and yell it out to me. In approximately five minutes, we will be able to see what our class thinks history is.

30. What is a Learning Target? A learning target is the information that you need to know in order to achieve higher levels of learning and to help you become more successful in this course. All of the learning targets align with the Virginia Standards of Learning but are rewritten in terms that you can understand (basically it’s what you absolutely need to know). Our goal is to “hit” each target by using different types of historical skills and facts. You can think of these skills/facts as arrows hitting the target.
