GEOGRAPHY NOTICE: Mr. P MIGHT be hosting the Geography Re-take Exam #3 Thursday at 3:22pm. All students interested in trying to ace the Exam in order to change their original score are invited to attend. Mr. P will likely hold Geo Re-take Exams once a week. If a student can't make the Re-take this week, students are welcome to show for a future Geo Re-take. Yet, do note that Mr. P does the Geo Re-take Exams out of the kindness of his heart and love for Geography. There is NO guarantee that Mr. P will give the Retake Exam after school, especially if Mr. P has personal or other matter to attend to. Once Mr. P’s wife and twins return to California he will likely NOT have the time to offer such opportunity. He’ll be busy changing diapers and doing such stuff. So take advantage now of the Geo Retake offerings while they last.
GEOGRAPHY EXTRA CREDIT:
1) Assignment Info
2) Example (Geddy Lee)
3) Geo Maps & Location Info

Greetings and welcome to 2009-2010 school year.
There are a multitude of purposes for this portion of the website.
1) Students can check homework (HW)
2) Parents can check homework
3) Students (especially absent) can find out about what happened in class.
4) Parents can get a sense of what is going on in class.
5) Students and parents can find out about upcoming exams, quizzes, projects, etc.
While this information can be helpful, parents and students should NOT ONLY rely on this portion of the website for information pertaining to World History. Students should:
a) Attend class and pay attention to instruction
b) Exchange phone numbers and emails with more than one trustworthy student
c) Start a class blog to communicate about class matters (students have been doing this for the past few years now)
d) Check out Technical Thompson's Website (P-Alumni Student Class Website)
Due to various restrictions like lack of time, no budget for secretaries and website masters, as well as a need to attend to personal matters, Mr. P does NOT always have this portion of the website updated. He tries his best. Yes, not very far back in history there were no such thing as websites and whatnot. Mankind has survived for thousands of years without the internet and other technological 'wonders' and I suppose we can continue to do so. Think of this website as an 'extra' and not a necessity. Regardless, I hope that you still find this portion of the website helpful this year.
