Welcome to Avenues: The World School and History/Humanities 8! This is a fun homework blog that will contain student-friendly posts with information about homework and classwork. You can still consult the official school website at Avenuesnyc.org and iTunesU, where I will upload documents. However, I hope this will help you see what you need more clearly for classwork each day....besides, you can feed the fish! -- Ms. Allen

Read the articles on white privilege. If you were absent, you can download part of it on the school website on the class page; however, you will have to get the other part from me at school. It is important to have complete notes in your binder.
Use a highlighter (not a pen or pencil) to outline ideas and privileges that strike you as interesting.
