I hope you all had a wonderful summer. I look forward to an exciting and challenging school year.

Required material
in case you have found this site and are in my Global II classes for the 2013-2014 school year, here is a list of the supplies you will need to have with you in class each day:

• A binder (loose-leaf.)  A 1-2 inch binder for just my class is fine, or you may have a section in a much larger binder for my class.  
• Plenty of loose-leaf paper.
• Several black and blue pens. 
• Folder: there will be lots of handouts and readings 
• A highlighter (any color, as long as it's a highlighter.)
