 We will start looking at values and how they have influence on who we see World History.  Students will be given a series of values activities that allow students to find out about their own values. This will allow us to discuss how our views on history are shaped by our values and values of people through out history.

Thursday and Friday we will finish going over values and how they relate to how we see World Studies.  Friday I will be handing out the scrapbook activity. The direction sheet can be found here.
