Welcome!

Welcome to our blog. This blog isn't just made for fun, it is actually on of our school's biggest projects, a portfolio! This portfolio is only for our History class in Secondary at Springfield International School.  Each class is divided into teams and have scribes to lead them.

In our History class, we learn about HOTS and LOTS, which mean higher order and lower order thinking skills. Also, we don't just memorise History, we learn to think critically. Our Facilitator, not Teacher, Mr. Rick divides us into groups and we are teaching each other. He only gives us a few lecture notes compared to the whole Internet. As our semester past by, we create and design a blog for each team.

Here is the table of Contents:

Section 1:


  • Introduction
  • Biographies
  • Vision & Mission
  • Goals & Objectives
Section 2:
  • URL/Links
Section 3:
  • Daily Activities

Again, this Blog is specifically for a school project. Please do not post useless comments, but please also tell us how to make this blog better. Right now, I am just trying to figure out the 'drop down' function in blogger, so please help if you can. 


Thank you for visiting our blog.
