The dawn of a new day and semester over Westview!
Hello everyone,
Welcome to the Government blog for my class at Westview during the 2017-18 school year! Before I begin with posting updates via class recaps, let me give you a little introduction to this website.
First off, comments can be made on any post by anyone, and they can be anonymous (though I would really prefer that you leave your name, so that I can follow up with you in person) by selecting "Name/URL" on the right, underneath the comment box. Please try to use good spelling and grammar in your comments! I have to approve the comments before they are posted, so don't worry if you don't see your comment right away.
Secondly, because I will be putting up the class agenda and homework, as well as any interesting links (after class has met), I will attempt to give you ways to download the relevant files and documents you may have missed in class or would be interested in seeing again for your homework (or just because). For instance, here is the syllabus that I passed out in class.
Here is a link to the rubrics that will be used for the course and grades:
Finally, to contact me personally (other than leaving a comment - which I may or may not see immediately), please e-mail me at luke_fritz@beaverton.k12.or.us - this can always be found by clicking on "View My Complete Profile" on the right, where my picture is, then clicking on "Email" on the left sidebar. I will get back to you ASAP! Again, please use grammatically correct language and spelling, to the best of your ability. It really is appreciated and will go a long way for you in the future!
I know it might be a lot to take in, but hopefully we will all get used to it! I envision this blog as a place where you will be able to come to converse with your classmates and me, as well as get all the latest assignments, updates from class, and further information.
If you have any questions or comments, please never hesitate to let me know!
Welcome again - thanks for visiting. Please bookmark this site and come back soon! :-)
Hello! This seems like a very helpful blog! Thank you for making this! I hope it will be put to excellent use!

ReplyDeleteI would have never taken this class if I didn't have to, but I think this will be pretty fun! I love your positive attitude, there's nothing harder than trying to enjoy a class that's taught by a slug. Thanks for promising to be so helpful!

ReplyDeleteAs many others have said I wouldn't ask for this class. In fact, I said: "Oh, they finally split humanities into what I like and I don't like: writing and everything else." But instead of a droning teacher you are excited about your class, and so of course I have to give it a very fair shot! Hw done.

Wrong period, sigh. My bad. I'm period 4.

Hi Olivia - if you are in Period 4, you are posting in the totally wrong subject area! This one is for Government, not Global Studies. Your blog would be http://westviewgs4.blogspot.com - make sure to post over there!
