Students,
Today we talked about campus wide expectations...
BE - Respectful
BE - Responsible
BE - Safe
these expectations were covered in different iterations all day; from before school to after school expectations all the way to what Seguin H.S. expects of your behavior in the restroom. Just a reminder we will be having a Website orientation tomorrow.
In addition we you have your first assignment. What follows is a scientific examination of how empathy has played a role in how we as a society has evolved to interact with each other. It really does frame the way in which I approach my history classes very well and will help you understand a little bit more of what to expect from the course. Please watch the video and address the prompt that follows.
