World History

The content area class I have chosen to write about is World History. The World History class is taught by Ms. Garvin. Ms. Garvin is an amazing teacher for many reasons, one being that she is always there to help you with things you do not understand. Ms. Garvin is also a very down to earth teacher, so she talks to us like normal human beings as opposed to talking down to us. She is an avid runner and is in charge of the student council and NHS. Ms. Garvin does so much for our school because she truly loves it here.

When World History first started i expected to learn a lot about wars, which I am not a huge fan of. Once we really got into everything though, I found out that we are learning more on different times and current events an such, which in my opinion is much more interesting. So far in her class we have learned quite a but about the Renaissance time period along with medieval and modern. We were also focusing on art work evolution and comparisons throughout the centuries. Another great thing about the class is that Ms. Garvin has a great grading policy! As long as you do the work it is nearly impossible to not get at least a B in her class.Her grading policy is 40% for projects and tests and 20% for homework.

One of the most interesting aspects of World History is definitely the field trip we are going to be going on. I can't wait till May so we can go see the 9/11 Memorial. I also love the projects we do in that class because they help boost our grades and they are really easy and fun. It is also really cool that a lot of her stuff is on the computer so we have easier access to it. Besides that though, we don't use much technology in her class. Overall the class is probably my favorite because, I love history and Ms. Garvin knows how to teach it in an exciting and peppy way!
