Ms.Garvin is my US-1 history teacher. I have her for 1st period and I expected to learn about how the government was formed and how we came together as a nation. So far I have learned about the branches and jobs of the government. The teachers grading policy revolves around tests. She has 10% classwork and 15%. The rest is divided between tests and quizes with test at 45% and quizes at 30%.
I have a few interesting aspects of her class. To start when taking notes she prints out the outline and we fill it in which makes everything neater. She also interacts with her students and gives a lot of one on one attention, which I think is very important in a class. So far no trips have been planned but she has a few in mind and hopefully we should go on one. We do receive a few projects but they are simple and you can usually work in a group.
Technology is used often almost ever day. We as a class use a
website where she puts up questions and where we can talk to each other. Other sites we use are her
website We also watch videos regarding what we are learning like the constitution.
