Hello Period 4,
Welcome to the blog for your Global Studies class at Westview! Before I begin with posting updates, class recaps, and all that, let me give you a little introduction to this website.
First off, comments can be made on any post by anyone by clicking the comments link at the bottom of every post, next to my name. They can be anonymous (though I would really prefer that you leave your name). Select "Name/URL" on the right, underneath the comment box - so that I can follow up with you in person. Please try to use good spelling and grammar in your comments! I see the comments before they are posted, so don't worry if you don't see your comment right away. :-)
Secondly, because I will be putting up the class agenda and homework, as well as any interesting links (after class has met), I will attempt to give you ways to download the relevant files and documents you may have missed in class or would be interested in seeing again for your homework (or just because). For instance, here is the PowerPoint that I made for my lecture on Forms of Government:
To view the documents, click on the link and then select "Save" to view it. Make sure you save it to a place on your computer that you will be able to find! You might also be able to select "View" after clicking on the link, but I have found that this is much slower.
Finally, to contact me personally (other than leaving a comment - which I may or may not see immediately), please e-mail me at luke_fritz@beavton.k12.or.us - this can always be found by underneath the "About Me" section on the top right of the blog. I will get back to you ASAP! Again, please use grammatically correct language and spelling, to the best of your ability. It really is appreciated and will go a long way for you in the future!
I know it might be a lot to take in, but hopefully we will all get used to it! I envision this blog as a place where you will be able to come to converse with your classmates and me, as well as get all the latest assignments, updates from class, and further information.
If you have any questions or comments, please never hesitate to let me know!
Welcome again - thanks for visiting! Please favorite this site, leave a comment to let me know you came, and come back soon! :-)
