Welcome Back!!!
...and welcome to high school! This is your first step to the next four years and I hope that we can experience the world of Medieval Europe through the Age of Revolutions in fun and exciting ways together. Well, I have fun anyway.

Calendar Codes =
(CW) - Class-work... this is work that was assigned in-class with the majority of the class time given to complete the assignment.
(HW) - Homework... this is work that was assigned in-class, usually with some class time to work on it, but with a due-date and the expectation that students will take it home to complete.
(PR) - Project... this is a unit culminating project. These carry big points and students will generally have anywhere from 1-2 weeks for completion, incorporating classtime and hometime for successful completion.
(Q) - Quiz... this is an in-class, skill building exercise that checks the understanding of the material being taught and can identify areas that need improvement.
