One of the classes I take this year is US History I. This class is taught by Ms. Garvin. Ms. Garvin is a really fun teacher that does not mind expressing herself to her students. She attended Purdue and is a fan of the New York Mets, and Jets. Before I took this class, I expected to learn more about our history in this country. As a freshman, I spent the entire year talking about the history of every country except for this one. As expeted, we have learned about our history such as our Founding Fathers, immigration, and the Bill of Rights. Her grading policy is quite similar to other teachers. 40% for tests, another 40% for quizes, and 10% for both classwork and homework. One of the best parts about this class are the projects Ms.Garvin assigns. My favorite project was one we did most recent, the Immigration Project. We had to interview one of our family members and asked them specific questions about how they got to America. I learned a lot from my parents while completing this project. Ms.Garvin planed a field trip with the entire grade to the tenement museum in New York. This museum features pictures and statues of events and people that lived through the immigration experience. Unfortunately, the trip got cancelled since the weather was horrible that day. In this class, we learn a handful amount of the technology that was used back in the day. For example, before we had the standard printer we have today, people used a printing press. This printer was first created by Bi Sheng who eventually brought his design to America and other places. Most of our in class are assignments are used with the Chrome Books. Ms. Garvin loves using websites such as Prezi, Wikispace, and VoiceThread so she can teach us about different sites so we can complete any assignment in her class and more. I hope
I get to see Ms.Garvin again once this year comes to an end.
