All Classes....

So, what IS this course all about? Who is my teacher? What will I be expected to do? How will I learn? What should I bring? All these questions and more will be answered during our first week together. You'll receive a course syllabus (a list of what we'll cover), and some instructions and guidelines about what it takes to be successful in Grade 9 Geography.

I'm ready to go.....are you?
