  1. Welcome to Mrs. Dziwura’s P.R.O.B.E. Social Studies class! Website (updated daily) gcps-cindydziwura.onmycalendar.com E-mail: cindy_dziwura@gwinnett.k12.ga.us

  2. Teaching Experience: • This is my 22nd year of teaching; my 15th year of teaching gifted • I taught 9 years in Dekalb County • I am in my 13th year of teaching at Hull • I also serve as the S.S. Department Chair

  3. Expectation of Students: • Utilize agenda every day • All vocabulary quizzes are open note • SPELLING COUNTS!!!! (for vocabulary, countries, and capitals) • Bring I.N. (Interactive Notebook) to class every day • Be organized • Work must be of high quality • Effort is key to being successful in class • Review work done in class nightly! • When absent, always check with me to see what was missed along with checking my website

  4. S.S. Curriculum: • Text – Eastern World by Holt (accessed on-line or check a textbook out from me) • Curriculum sequence: SW Asia, Africa, Asia • On-line support: Eclass has entire textbook • 7th Grade S.S. PROMOTION REQUIREMENT: passing 4 out 5 classes – LA & MA are required

  5. Interactive Notebook(I.N.) • Should be organized exactly as Mrs. Dziwura’s notebook • Notebook is graded on the day of the test – I look for the pages in the notebook that pertain to that test

  6. Grades • Make sure you are checking your parent portal account • Grades are updated at midnight after a teacher enters them that day • Please let me know if you believe there was a grade input wrong (i.e 8% instead of 88%)

  7. Political Map Tests: • Students will be tested over the physical features and the capitals and countries of SW Asia, Africa, and Asia when these units are studied • Helpful websites… • www.maps101.com (username: Gwinnett, password: media) • www.studystack.com • www.ilike2learn.com • Lizardpoint (you will need to Google the website)

  8. National Current Events League • Administered in November, January February, and March • No preparation except for watching the national news on various websites, television channels and the radio • I love to show the students student news through www.cnn.com/studentnews and www.channelone.com in class (or they can view at home)
