Welcome to Honors World Cultures!

Objective:  Introduce class procedures and expectations and assess knowledge of current global news stories.

Task:  I commend you for taking on this reading and writing intensive course!  Although it may feel like you've been preparing for HWC for a long time, it is finally our first official day of class.  Today, we need to read through the class rules and regulations and join the Moodle (http://moodle.svpanthers.org/).   You will also be filling out the on-line "Student Information Sheet" and taking a current events quiz.   Finally, you'll be handing in your reading notes and rubric for The World is Flat.  


Homework:  
  • Student Information Sheet (GoogleForm on Moodle)
  • Parent Information Sheet (due Wednesday - bonus points for early submission AND on-line submission)
  • Review advice & reflections from previous HWC students 
  • Bring reading notes/questions from Guns, Germs, and Steel for "Book Club"
