WORLD HISTORY SEMESTER II
Greetings and welcome to 2009-2010 school year.
There are a multitude of purposes for this 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.

You can use this power point to study geography locations and statistics. Mr P highly recommends using this to study for the Geo Exam.
