Welcome! This is the website for Mr. Callas' 7th Grade Civics and Economics class.  I have taken over for Mr. Gallion for the next two months as your teacher.  I am looking forward to working with each and everyone of you.  

 

All homework assignments, podcasts, and class resources will be posted here.  It is your responsibility as a student to stay on track and up-to-date on all assignments and notes.

 

I will be keeping the "Flipped Classroom" approach that Mr. Gallion has been using with which you are all familiar with.  The basic rundown of a "Flipped Classroom" can be seen if you scroll down this page.

 

Just like Mr. Gallion has told you numerous times this year, your goal is to outwork me.  Write this site down in your agenda book and get to know the site.  It will be as helpful to you as you want it to be.  This is now the website that we will be using for class.  Planet Gallion will still be used occasionally but this is now the primary site for class!  

What is a "Flipped Classroom?"

 

 

  • Student Research-Based in Nature

  • Teacher places information and research opportunities for students to use

  • Students do the research/background learning.

  • Teacher covers the material/checks for retention of knowledge.

  • Students show learning has occurred through quizzes, tests, projects, activities, Assessments For Learning,etc.

  • Most of this research involves using this website, on computer BEFORE classes meet.

  • This is the gist of the "Flipped Classroom."

Classroom Rules

1. Eyes on the Speaker
