W. History

Course Overview

World History is an opportunity to develop a greater understanding of the evolution of global processes and contacts, in interaction with different types of human societies. In essence, how did the world get where it is today? To affect this understanding, students need a combination of factual knowledge and analytical skills.

Required Class Materials

· Pen, pencil, and paper, and iPad EVERY DAY! Do not even approach me looking for these items.

· A separate notebook for Government. This can be either a three-ring binder or a spiral notebook; whichever works best for you. It must have pockets to organize handouts and returned assignments. The inside of your ipad cover does not count!

You are high school students. You should not need to be reminded everyday to bring the items above. I understand that you may slip up every now and then, but if not having supplies becomes a problem, “memory building” activities may be instituted.


Google Classroom

Westlake High School utilizes the Google Classroom platform to share classroom resources, many assignments, and assessment preparation materials to students. WHS students will receive a classroom code to access these materials, submit assignments, and track any missing work.
