Web 2.0: Multimedia Blog Pre-Posting

Napoleon Bonaparte
     This year, I am taking the World History class with Ms. Garvin. She has been a teacher here at Wood-Ridge High School for years now, and she is an amazing teacher. This is my second year of having her, and I'm happy to have gotten her because she is able to teach you information easily as long as you complete her work. She doesn't give a lot of homework, but even when she does, it is work that helps you attain information. When I first walked into her class, I expected to learn more about history about other countries that I have never learned about before. Today, we learned more than what I was expecting; so far, we have learned about the French Revolution, the Enlightenment Era, imperialism, nationalism, and more.
     Honestly, it really isn't difficult to get an "A" in Ms. Garvin's class. As long as you pay attention in class, answer questions, and do her work, there is nothing to worry about. Her tests are long but decently easy. If you study the study guide she provides you on her website, then you can easily pass her test with an "A!" Ms. Garvin always provides extra help after school for anyone that isn't understanding the information being provided. She is more than willing to help as long as you don't slack off and fool around in class! Of course, that's what all the teachers expect, and Ms. Garvin isn't an exception.

    This upcoming May, our history class is taking a trip to the 9/11 memorial along with Mrs. Gavin's history class. I am beyond excited since I've never been there before. Ms. Garvin has been planning this trip for a while now, and we finally get to go this year! Also, Ms. Garvin has organized an assembly for her World History class for a Holocaust survivor to come in. He/She will be speaking about his/her experience  and I can't wait for it, as I have always been interested on the topic of the Holocaust. In our class, we use chrome books for class assignments such as the webquest and the wikidot. You can see all of our work on the wikidot by clicking here.
