Hi!

Please call me Becca.

I teach at Campbell Hall (private, Episcopal, ridiculously pricey, located on Laurel Canyon in North Hollywood).

I teach mostly 9th grade History, which at CH means Ancient World History and Geography. This year, we're trying out a new book called Patterns of Interaction. I like it so far, and it appears to have good material on East Asia, but I'll be more capable of evaluating it after this seminar!

Right now, I'm probably the least-informed person in this group as far as East Asian history is concerned--my undergraduate degree is in Classical Civilization (UCLA, 1990), and my graduate degrees are in Ancient History (UCLA 92 and 97)--so I managed to avoid even the single class in Eastern History which so many people take as a requirement! However, that's not for lack of interest--it just happened that way.

I look forward to the rest of this class and to getting to know all of you better!

Becca
