My
Philosophy of Teaching:
I
believe that the class experience should build basic skills of
reading, writing, researching, thinking, and dealing with others.
There will be at least one major group project every quarter and
several group tasks every week. Group work will be given a
group grade. I will select the groups so that they will be
fair and effective.
I
believe that reading and writing are important. Each day we
will read current events and write a journal response. This
will help the students to read better and write better.
We
will write several essays that use documents from history (Document
Based Essays). This gives the students a chance to do hands on
history.
Every
day of class is important. Responsible attendance, note
taking, homework, and studying are the major responsibility of the
student. If students do not take this responsibility
seriously, students will struggle.
