2006/2007

Dear Parents and Students,

I am very excited to be embarking on this journey through social studies with you. It is important to me that everyone gets the most out of our lessons; therefore, if there is ever an assignment or content that needs clarification, I can be reached by leaving a message in my box in the office or at jmoss3@schools.nyc.org. As my time with the students is limited, other primary and secondary sources are encouraged for a more detailed explanation and further understanding of class discussions. Homework will be a meaningful extension of current material. It should be handed in one week from when it is given (unless otherwise stated) and be student created. Computer print-outs are not nearly as interesting as the thoughts, ideas and opinions of the students. Use sources and data to support your theories, not instead of them. I look forward to enjoying the rich responses to our explorations.

Sincerely,

Mr. Moss
