About the Teacher
Hello class! I'm your teacher Mr. Talafus. You can call me Mr. T for short. I'm currently in my senior year at California State University Fullerton and I'm currently applying the credential program. I'm extremely excited to teaching these classes and I'm so thrilled about the study of the past. We get to look into past and see how they shaped the events we see today. I have incorporated technology into the lesson to give you, the student, a better understanding of what we'll be discussing in class.

World History
In this 10th grade class, we'll focus on the events from the Greeks and Romans all the way to present day. Starting in the Greek and Roman Empires, we'll look at ho they shaped our modern infrastructure and governments. Then move to the Dark Age, Bronze, Age, and the Renaissance to focus on the art and policies tying them into the modern era of today. After getting the basics down, we'll see how the East moved into the spectrum of the world politics and how they shaped their own sets of beliefs. My favorite part will focus on how these aspects tie into the World Wars and modern politics today.
