SPARTANS,
Check out our page on schoolandteacher.net. I have posted some more detailed directions for your midterm and attached the "Action Verb List" (for you to download/print) in case you lost the copy I gave you several weeks ago.
I hope you all had a safe and fun weekend.
Surprised by Secretary Powell,
Mr. Todd

SPARTAN PRIDE
Spartans,
I just want to express my gratitude and pride for what I saw on the streets of Camarillo on Friday afternoon. I saw young people who care; young people who are engaged with the community; young people who are standing up to make a difference.
There's a long tradition at Rio Mesa, that precedes both you and I, of Spartans standing side by side, and "raising shields" high to protect what is right at our school and in the community. I saw that today on Ponderosa and Carmen by the park, and it filled me with pride. Thank you for helping to keep that powerful and ancient tradition alive.
How fortunate we are to live in a country where we can express ourselves freely. How fortunate I am to be your teacher.
Humbly and most sincerely,
Mr. Todd

New Website Established; Midterm Posted
SPARTANS,
Behold! The class website is established. Check out the following site:
www.schoolandteacher.net
Look up your class by searching for me by my last name, or by using my number, 4704.
When you find your class period, click on "Projects". You will then see a section called "Projects this month". Next, click on "Details" and you should find the Word document detailing your midterm, the Biographical Cover Letter and Resume.
Let the research begin! Choose a historical figure who impacted the western hemisphere from Precolumbian times to 1900.
Please be sure to be creative in your ideas: the person should be significant, but does not just have to be a president or a general. Think about business people, explorers, scientists, artists, writers, inventors and other innovators. Remove your thinking from the confines of the cube.
Good luck, and remember to have your three choices for figures ready by Monday. It's first come, first served, so if someone gets "dibs" on your person first, try the next one on your list.
Due date? Tuesday, 28 October.
As always, email me with any questions.
Enjoy your nachos,
Mr. Todd
