Welcome to Wakeland High School for the 2012-2013 school year. I am very excited to have you in my class. Together we will discover the world in 80 days. I hope that you will enjoy this class as much as I enjoy teaching it. You will learn many new and interesting things. On this blog, you will find useful websites, assignments, calendars and it will be a way for us to communicate with each other. Please check back often. (Email: tidwelld@friscoisd.org)

Purpose of the BOK

The purpose of the Book of Knowledge (BOK) is to enable you to be a creative, independent thinker and writer.  Your Book of Knowledge notebook will be used for class notes as well as for other activites in which you will be asked to express your own ideas and process the information presented in class.  Your Book of Knowledge will be taken for a MAJOR GRADE at the end of each six weeks.  You will be notified at least a week in advance of the official due date.  Most of the organizing and work to be put into the notebook will take place during class.  The main outside work will be selected "X-Factor" assignments that create an awareness of how YOU are connected to the world we live in.  Attached are the notebook guidelines, evaluation sheet or rubric, and the "X-Factor" requirements.
