Welcome to Year 8 History! Before we start looking at all the exciting things that this course has to offer we need look at a few organisational issues. So, here is what you have to do today:

(Follow the instructions step by step!!)

1.

In Year 8 History there are 2 books. One of the books need to be decorated and both of them need to be covered with plastic:

1) purple Exercise Book – decorate and cover in plastic

2) pink History Textbook – cover in plastic

You should also have taken note of the plastic folder required to keep all your History books in! You must always have the folder plus the 2 books in class when you have History.

With regard to the History homework, please take note of the following:

1) You will get homework fairly regularly.

2) Homework is important as it benefits your learning in a number of ways.

3) You are expected to give your best when doing homework!! Read the following homework rules:
