Classroom Guidelines and Expectations
I don't have a ton of rules, but the ones that I do have, I stick to. I don't allow the following in my classroom:
1. Lateness - when the second bell goes, you need to be in the room.
2. Inappropriate language - anything that I determine to be 'not classroom' language
4. Talking while either I am talking, or one of your classmates is - pretty self explanatory
Working outside of these guidelines will result in ten minutes owed to me either at lunch, after school, or before school. These are pretty easy to get used to, and I generally don't even have to keep anyone for the extra time. I like to have my classroom be an environment of mutual respect, which makes for a fun and engaging Social class.

Globalization Review
First, we will be finding out what you guys remember about Globalization in groups. Then, you will have some class time to review some terms from Social 10. Remember, the Social Curriculum is Cumulative, so you need to incorporate what you have learned up to now in Social Studies.
