Tuesday, February 10:  Introduction to Humanities 8

CLASSWORK:

Today in class Mr. Clark began by explaining the basic idea that Humanities is in fact English and Social Studies blended into one course.  We will be covering the Social Studies subject matter, and using that material will measure necessary skills and processes from both Social Studies and English.

Next, Mr. Clark went over his course outline and his class policies including:

• How to use his Humanities website, which can be accessed at:  http://www.llss.sd73.bc.ca/socials8 to see what work was done in class; to see what was assigned for homework; to view the textbook (if one was forgotten); to access all handouts, overheads and videos used in class and to check upcoming test dates and assignment dates.
• The importance of using Jupiter Grades to track student progress (for both parents and students)
• Mr. Clark's Policy on Late Assignments
• Mr. Clark's Test Correcting Policy

HOMEWORK:

Students have been asked to take their course outlines home so that parents can read them over before signing and returning the required portion to Mr. Clark by Friday, February 13.
