CPWC Day 1 - Welcome!

"Success is dependent on effort" - Sophocles

Welcome to CP World Cultures!  In this class we'll explore the far reaches of the world both past and present.  I encourage you to follow the news and to identify connections with other subject areas.  In order to succeed in CPWC, it is essential that you establish effective, consistent work and study habits.  However, if you find yourself confused or overwhelmed please don't hesitate to see or e-mail me. 

Objective:  Introduce class procedures and expectations and begin to develop class rapport.

Task:  Today, we'll begin with the usual first day activities including attendance, seating assignments, and a review of class rules and expectations.  I'll introduce class resources such as this blog, the textbook, the Moodle, and GoogleApps.  You'll also sign out your textbook.   Finally, you'll work in groups to examine select artifacts that will give you hints to some of the many things you'll be learning in this class.

Homework:  
  • Tuesday, August 27 - Student Information Sheet (GoogleForm via Moodle)
  • Wednesday, August 28 - Parent Information Sheet (GoogleForm via Moodle) - 5 bonus points if your parents send an email to Mrs. Friday
  • Thursday, August 29 - Book covers and binders with at least 8 dividers due in class
