August 16-20, 2010

Hello and welcome to the new school year! I am excited about everything that we have planned in each of these classes and I expect great things from each of you students. Here's a look at the week ahead:

Economics: Powerpoint lecture to cover chapter 1. We will have workbook exercises to complete and a test by Friday.

Arts Appreciation: Introduction of Unit 1 - Poetry. I will explain more in class.

Spanish I: We will have vocab quizzes each day this week as we continue to learn the basics of the Spanish language from chapter 1.

Spanish II: We will have vocab quizzes each day Mon-Wed. We will have our first test covering Chapter 1, Lesson 1 on Friday.

Western Civilizations: We will continue our lecture from the biblical account of creation and the dawn of the earliest civilizations. We will break from lecture briefly to discuss other secular views of the existence of humans for comparison's sake. I expect to be completed and ready for Test 1 by next Monday.

Remember, AP World history, you have a separate website devoted entirely to that class: www.scholastic.com/classhomepage .

Please feel free to contact me via email at robertakers@hotmail.com . Let me know if you need help with any subject - don't let yourself get too far behind! Also, there will be a KYA meeting Thursday after school to begin preparations for this year's conference. Thanks!
