Qatar History ( English Year 8)

Dear Parents and Students,

My Expectations for Every Student:

• The best way to learn is to participate.  My class is interactive learning, and I expect for each student to be engaged and participate to increase their knowledge of the content that is delivered.

• If you are absent from class, you are responsible for obtaining assignments and notes when you return. Check for assignments on the assignment board. Worksheets and any additional handouts can be obtained from the make-up folder. (You have five school days after an excused absence to make up any missed work.) 

• I expect every student to on their very best behavior during the lesson.  I will not have the learning on other students hindered because one or two students fail to comply with the class rules.
