And welcome to the class blog! Be sure to check out the blog multiple times a week for articles and other postings to comment on for participation points! Also, check in for news postings to prep you for our weekly current events game. (I will also be posting information for my IB Psychology students who are testing in the subject this spring -- you can ignore those posts of course!)
Every Sunday night I will post the "Week Ahead". I will attempt to update it as plans change throughout the week, but let's be clear, what I post on the agenda in the classroom is the most up-to-date agenda, not this blog!

Mr. Caro,
I miss you and IB psychology!
I don't remember the "Survival Game Activity" or the "Mapping the World" activity. Did you make those new for this year?
I bookmarked this page and hopefully I will learn some interesting things in history
Period 4
Mona, I miss it as well!
Ben, I am not sure actually. I think you did the mapping activity...?
Eduardo, I hope so as well!
I'm pretty sure we did the survival activity. Or at least it sounded really familiar today! In fact everything sounded very familiar! :p Oh the good ol' World history days.
It is great to have you back in class Alex!
so, Mr. Caro, are you going to send your TA's on more random chores like Yvonne last year or are you actually going to put them to work?
My TAs in the spring always work on the next psych Reader. It will be fun to put it together!
haha random errands....
good old TA days. :]
haha no I didn't do random stuff, I actually worked. :]

alex hill
period 12
I miss World History! :[ Other teachers are trying to do Socratic Seminars just like you do but you're the only one that does them well!
Hey Alex!
Thanks!! And welcome back to World History;-)
Socratic Seminars are awesome! It is always tough for me to remain on the sidelines!
I think some of my favorite memories from your class involved trying to get a word in during the extremely heated Kimia/Gillian debates! :D Very fun times!
Oh geez. Those were intense. It seemed like everyone was afraid to interrupt! haha
