My Project
These materials will be used by students in 10th grade US History and in 11th/12th IB History. They will help us to “set the tone” for class and get students engaged in learning.
The cell phone caddy will help students stay focused and productive in class, away from distractions.
It will help us to set and reinforce expectations about technology use during class. The blue books will help students get into the mindset of the exams they take as they prepare to write their IB papers at the end of senior year.
Half of students from low‑income households
