Global II Honors

Welcome to Global II Honors 

This course is designed as a survey of world history and culture from 1500's to the 

present.  Emphasis will be placed on the following:  a global view of the world’s history, 

history’s relevance to the present, and an appreciation of the  universality and diversity of the

human race.  Students will make judgments on events in history, as well as learn to

recognize historical bias.  Students will write persuasive and analytical essays and

 speeches.  They will also use writing to compare and contrast people and events in

 history.  Students will be required to read approximately 100- 200 + pages of outside 

reading per quarter.  Students will conduct independent research and will be responsible 

for guided and independent learning. Students will also apply creativity to historical 

concepts. This course will challenge you and provide many rewarding experiences

Welcome 2014-2015 school year

Global II students:

Welcome to Global II

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 2014-15 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. we take lots of notes and you will not be able to fit all you global notes and readings in a binder that is shared with another 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.)

LAST WORDS

 I just want you all to know that it was a very enjoyable teaching year for me. Some of you challenged me and kept me on my toes. i do appreciate the laughs and jokes.  I know many of you have worked really hard this year and you deserve to pass. I am very proud of you. you will see all your hard work pay off in the end. remember at the end of the day it is just a test it is in no way a true  measure of your ability, creativity or intelligence.

enjoy your time off this summer. please be safe and make wise choices. I will see you all in September.
