Welcome to Mr. Loftis' U.S. History & World History class. This webpage was developed for the students & PARENTS. In years past my students have taken advantage of the usful information that is given on this website. However, sometimes parents do not get involved as much as I would like. I believe this is because the students do not give the parents the information that they needed. This will be my goal for the coming year. I would like this website to be useful for the parents as well as the students.
So, what can you expect to get out of this website? Well, parents & students will have unlimited access to their grades, helpful links to help with classroom assignments, pictures of students at work, and a jeopardy review game before each test. You can even get a copy of my syllabus or a calendar of events.
Most of the stories that your son or daughter will tell you is true about me, I am tough and I expect a great deal from ALL of my students, but there is no guess work in my class. This website is an example of this. Your son or daughter should have a good idea what their grade is at all times. I usually grade papers on the weekend and post the grades on the website Sunday afternoon. No, you will not see a letter grade or a percentage because I want my students to average them for themselves.
Students will be wise to take advantage of the jeopardy review before every chapter test. I construct the jeopardy game myself using the objectives that WILL be tested. I try very hard to put the game up a couple days before the test so that students will have a few days to look over the information. |
