The Goal of Mr. O'Neill's class website
Hello and welcome back!
The goal of this website is to support all of Mr. O'Neill's history students throughout the school year. Any class announcements will be posted on the home page of the website. You will find that the website is broken up into several sections: downloadable class presentations & notes and other downloadable content to help students throughout the year. There is also a section with my contact information.
This site should be visited by students (and parents) on a daily basis in order to stay updated and informed (which notes were worked on in class, when is the next upcoming quiz, test, information on projects, etc.). In addition, our class will use the website when working on the Ethics & Religious Culture sections of the course.
Parents and students: please see the course outline in the 'Downloads' section of the website. (paper copy given to students on the first day of school)
I hope to have a fun and successful school year!
Thank you,
Mr. O'Neill
