Welcome!
I'm glad you could join us on our journey through Grade 8 Social Studies and the Renaissance! I would like to welcome you to our website for Social 8B and 8D. My name is Miss High and I will be the captain of this voyage through a remarkable period in history. It is a time of great change and progress and was a defining moment in time, which influenced our Western Worldviews. This voyage will teach valuable skills such as critical thinking, cooperation and teamwork, and of course analyzing history and the effects it has on us today. Helping to discover who you are and the role of a citizen in society is essential. I hope you enjoy being able to follow us throughout this journey. Some of the features of the website include: - a classroom blog where students can reflect upon their learning, comment, and build peer interaction - information on each lesson being taught in order to help students catch up if they are away - online tools to help students study, submit information, collaborate and to communicate - a place to book appointments if students need additional help, have questions or concerns or if parents want to discuss any concerns - contact page if parents would like to contact for more information or have questions they would like addressed - view the classroom Twitter feed to be kept up to date on current events in our community, country, and world |
