Welcome to the Red Team.

I am looking forward to a successful year for all of us. If you come to class prepared and ready to participate and work you will go far.

The World History Curriculum spans from the fall of Rome to today, so we have a lot of material to cover.  We will begin the year starting with the reaction to one of the key events in history, the Industrial Revolution.  We will move on to the rise of Germany as a nation state, New Imperialism, WWI, the interwar period, WWII, and the Cold War.  We also cover world religions, but we will include these as we come across individuals in history (e.g. we will study Hinduism with Gandhi's non violent revolt against imperialism and Buddhism with the Dali Llama and the Chinese invasion of Tibet.) Then we will go to the fall of Rome and the beginning of the Middle Ages, the Renaissance and Age of Exploration, the Scientific Revolution, Englightment and Industrial Revolution.

If you have any questions please feel free to email me at mstanton@plymouth.k12.ma.us

I look forward to meeting you tonight at the Freshman barbeque or the first day of school.
Enjoy the rest of the summer.

Mr. Stanton’s Class Rules for 2012-2013

1. Come to class and participate in your learning.

Pay attention. Ask questions if you are confused. Make eye contact with the speaker.  

2. Be respectful to your peers, the school, and me.

Come to class on time and put electronic devices away.  Don’t write on school property.  Be nice to your peers (follow the Golden Rule.)

3. No whining, excuses or complaining

If you have a problem, address it with me.  Let me know beforehand if you think the homework is excessive or an assignment is unfair.  I will give you enough time to complete your assignments.  Do not wait until the last moment to complete long term assignments.
