  1. Honors World History Nancy Jones nancy.jones@cobbk12.org

  2. Remind 101- Text Alerts • 917-746-8952 • @hwhjones

  3. Yearbooks • Yearbooks are currently on sale for $90 and will go up to $100 after Spring Break • To purchase a book, please see a staff member in room 111 or 112 OR order online at www.yearbookordercenter.com • PSAT scores/booklets were given today!

  4. This Semester • Synergy: Please make sure students have access to their grades via Synergy • See Admin. 1 if they do not know their password • I enter comments into Pinnacle as well as grades so check often • We will cover over 5,000 years of history so we will move quickly • Reading quizzes on assigned chapter material • Generally, these are open note/open homework! • Students retain more information when they gather it themselves.

  5. This Semester • Primary/Secondary source readings • Focus on writing school-wide • DBQ’s – Document Based Questions • Documents/Primary sources important for AP classes • Use complete sentences ALWAYS! • Be careful about text “lingo” B/C, &, 2, U, etc. • Use supporting details, examples • ALWAYS, ALWAYS explain WHY (never a yes or no) • First DBQ today: How Great Was Alexander the Great? This is on the blog now.

  6. This Semester • Summer Reading assessment Monday, Jan. 27 • Given last Spring, 4 choices of books • Goal is to provide different learning opportunities to meet individual learning styles – writing, group projects, presentations, technology, web quests, visual projects, etc. • Example: Bonus writing activity – write an epic tale! • Athens & Sparta Body Biography - visual project • Focus on higher level thinking, analysis, application • Historical facts and information are important but the concepts and themes are the most important

  7. This Semester • Study guides are given at the beginning of each unit. • Do not have to be turned in • Use as a “mental checklist” to assess whether students understand the term • Do not just memorize the words: ask yourself if you truly understand why this person, place, event is IMPORTANT in history • Always look at the big picture surrounding the historical facts – i.e. WHY DOES THIS MATTER?

  8. ASE • Academic Support and Enrichment • 25 minutes extra in each class one day per week • Review, test preparation, online practice, individual help • www.classzone.com • www.usatestprep.com

  9. Goals • Provide a challenging and fun environment for my students • Create a warm, welcoming, safe environment where students are free to ask questions, challenge themselves and each other, make mistakes, learn from their mistakes and move on • Encourage students to leave class with more knowledge than they entered with • Allow students to explore differentiated material suitable for their academic needs • Allow students to create learning processes and products that suit their individual learning style
