**__Classroom Historian: The Task__**
===You now have a wiki space created for and devoted to our class and our studies. Beginning with the second week of school, students will take turns recording all notes, links, and classroom discussions. New this year: You will be recording for 3 class periods. Keep in mind this page is for you. It is to help you with the course and in preparing for the exams, for review, and an excellent source for you when you are absent from class. It is as helpful and informative as you make it!===

A proper update would include:
1. //notes// from class: academic, appropriate, the presence of voice is desirable 2. //summaries// of classroom discussions pertinent to the course and __1 extra feature(maps, images, quotes, etc) per day__ 3. any //assignments// collected or passed out 4. //Homework: deadlines or due dates// that were issued on the day the student recorded 5. The //linking of an article// relating to each day's content from a "history specific/focused" magazine. Special exceptions can be made for content heavy articles that occasionally appear in mainstream current events magazines such as Newsweek, Time, US News and World Reports.

Points 1-4 should be completed during class. Students have until the following week is completed to provide a supplemental article. If you are absent the day it is your turn to act as scribe you become the scribe on your return to class.

__How do I get started?__
Simply click on the proper date beneath your class' period to page to begin. Once you have logged in and are on the proper page, click on "Edit this Page" at the top and your are ready to begin. It is as simple as typing in a word document. Please begin the page with the correct date. Initially I think it would be a good idea to have headings that correspond with the 4 points above. Good luck and remember, this site is intended to be for your benefit. It will only be as successful as you make it.

**__How will I be graded?__**
Each student will be responsible for completing an initial days postings. 1. ** 50 points ** for completion of the posting. A. - **30 point** s for steps 1-4: Clear/thorough summary of class discussion, proper spelling, all information present, due dates and assignments listed B. -** 10 points ** for the extra(s) included: maps, pictures, images, charts, etc. C. - **10 points** for the article: AP quality and depth, thought provoking, goes beyond text content The postings for AP articles will be held to a highest standard for academic rigor. It is assumed the quality of your postings will be scholarly and properly acceptable for use at the college level.



//The order of historians will be posted within the classroom.//
