Third trimester is here! I am so excited to be teaching this course with you this trimester. It will all be new to me, but the exciting thing is you all will have a huge role in looking at what we choose to study. An emphasis will be placed on the roles of the everyday person to take an active role in situations that are happening in their country and communities. This week will be spent learning what is meant by the word conflict and selecting topics that we will study. We will also be engaged in daily news stories from today's world because we often can tie the stories to events that happened in history. This week will also have shorter period due to ISTEP testing on 3 of the days.
