=__Welcome to WHX2 ! __= WHX2 is the home of Ms.Cerillo's World History 2 class. Each week this site will be updated with new online assignments for current students, teaching materials and ideas for current teachers, as well as, news regarding current events, politics and global stories. This site will be constantly updated with additional readings as they pretain to the subjects, ideologies, cultural and societal trends that are being studied in the classroom.

__﻿FOR STUDENTS: __
This space will function as an online base for our class as we move through our semister. You will be asked to check WHX2 at least twice a week for assingments, additional readings and reflections. As outlined in our class syllibus, you will each be required to hand in a one paragraph response, each week, to materials found on WHX2. These maybe news articles, video clips, works of art or anything else I may happen across that fits in with the unit we are working on in class. These short assisingments will by no means be overly demanding but rather a way for you all to get different prespectives on topics, themes and ideas, as well as, a way to see how these ideas relate to our lives today. This should be fun and entertaining (like the rest of the course of course!) and should not take up large hunks of your time.

__﻿Organizational tool indeed! __
WHX2 will also serve as a great online resource for our class. The course syllibus, as well as all of your assisgnment guidelines, study sheets, and lecture outlines will be posted on this site. I will hand out paper copies in conjunction with those found on this site, but for those of you wh ﻿ o are more inclined to work on line and can stay better organized online, the resources will be here for you.

__﻿Communication and participation: __
This site does offer a place for you to post comments, ask questions of your peers and myself, as well as share links that you may find interesting and informative as we move through the course. Though this participation will NOT be graded it is strongly encouraged that you do chose to participate. Spaces like this make it so easy and fun for us all to share; but more so, they provide great space for you all to help eachother learn, work and digest the materials and themes we will be covering. If someone is struggling to understand for example, just how agriculture was changed by the industrial revolution, she can post her questions here, to be responded to by her peers or by myself. This space will also work great for times when we do group assignments or projects; groups can use this space to communicate out of class and post ideas.
 * THIS BEING SAID.....** I will be monitoring the conversations and materials being shared on this site. The same standards, codes and ethics that we hold at Frontier Regional High School and with in our class room, stand here. I WILL NOT TOLERATE any rude or lude behavior taking place on this site. This is a place for learning and colaboration; a place where everyone should and will feel safe and confident sharing their ideas and questions. Poor behavior on this site will be treated as it would in our classroom and if need be disciplinary actions will be taken against any offenders. I am sure that this will not be an issue, however if issues arise, please know that those offenders will be dealt with quickly. PLEASE make an effort to make sure that this site remains a great learning tool and a comfortable place for all of us.
