Welcome to the World History BLOG!

Please follow your class on the BLOG. Each day is marked by the date and by the CLASS you are in.

To find tonight's homework, find YOUR most recent class (on the date of that class). The homework is at the BOTTOM of the day's posting. Email Mrs. Marsh if you have ANY questions AT ALL!!

If you were absent, please read through the entire posting for the day you missed so that you can be caught up when you return to class. Please see me during Renaissance on the day you come back for support.

* If you are looking for a specific lesson, but don't remember the date, search using a key word in the search box below (to the right).
