WELCOME!

Welcome Year 10 to the blog for War Tactics and Weaponry for 2011

Here you will find all sorts of information, including:

• Links to websites filled with information that will be useful to you this semester


• Copies of PowerPoint presentations that we view in class


• Links to YouTube clips we watch


• Copies of any assignment sheets, worksheets or other handouts that are distributed in class

This will be useful to you if you happen to lose your sheets or notes, or if you are absent for some reason so there will be NO EXCUSE for not having the notes or worksheets :)

In addition to this, this space is one that you can use to communicate with me throughout the semester, both during and outside of school time. You can also use this as a forum to communicate with one another outside of school time about anything to do with War Tactics and Weaponry and the work you are currently undertaking.

There are some site rules I have set up and you will find a link to them HERE as well as on the side of this main page. Please stick to them so that we can make this as productive space as possible.

Let's have a fantastic semester!!
