Welcome to the Blog!



The Opening Ceremony of the 2012 Olympics in London. I have this picture framed!

Hello all,

Welcome to the Global Studies Period 2 blog for while I am long term substitute teaching at Westview in 2013! Before I begin with posting updates, let me give you a little introduction to this website.

First off, comments can be made on any post by anyone. They can also be anonymous (though I would really prefer that you leave your name - by selecting "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 have to approve 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 a PowerPoint I made for teaching about the genocide in Rwanda:

Google Docs - Genocide in Rwanda Powerpoint

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@beaverton.k12.or.us - this can always be found by clicking on "View My Complete Profile" on the right, where my picture is, then clicking on "Email" on the left sidebar. 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 bookmark this site and come back soon! :-)

  9. Nana - I have some blank copies of the US map if you would like to take the test in school. I will probably be in the classroom around 7:15 AM tomorrow, and for most of the afternoon as well. If you would like to practice, may I suggest this website: http://www.sporcle.com/games/g/states

  11. Nana - Yes! I will be in the library most of that time, so just come up if it is after 1:25. I'm sure we can print off a blank map up there if I forget to bring one with me. Thank you!
