WEEK of Nov. 16th
INTERNATIONAL WEEK at LHS
            Early Civilizations - present empires
            IB European History - post-Congress of Vienna Europe, textbook background, and begin
                      ISMs work.
            IB Philosophy - return Paper 1, Part B Optional Themes: Ethics; begin work in applied ethics,                       Palmer - reading. We will also introduce Internal Assessments so you can begin
                      working on those before the end of the semester.

International Week at LHS marks the week before the Thanksgiving Break.  So given that visions of feasting dance in our heads we will hopefully be able to squeeze in a little bit of focused work and set out sights on the end of the semester as there are only two weeks of classes left when we return before semester exams.
Time to finish strong before the winter break and second semester starts to gear up.  If we can get our required work done the first part of the week, we should be able to participate in some of the International Week programs come week's end.

Welcome to the premier Of courses Blog posting.  This is the source page for updates on the classes I currently teach.  At the moment then this is the place to keep up to date with my classes in Early Civilizations, IB European History and IB Philosophy.  There are specific links to each of the course web pages in the links section of the blog page.  I hope this helps provide another useful resource in keeping up to date with classes and some additional insights into how I operate as a teacher so you can succeed and even thrive in my courses.
