Welcome to Mr. Grieve's World History blog!
With our class sizes growing at DRSS, my goal for the 2014-2015 school year is to update this regularly with some of the cool stuff we're doing so that parents have an idea of what is happening in our Modern World History class. I also hope to use this blog to give some shout-outs to students who have done a great job on assignments throughout the year. If you missed our presentation/overview of the course at orientation, you can find it here.We have an exciting semester planned, and if you don't know anything about me, allow me to provide a brief bio:
- I've been teaching at DRSS since 2010 and am in my fifth year of teaching.
- I also teach Economics, so many of you will have me next year.
- I've been married now for 10 years to my wife, Amanda, and have a dog named Jetti.
I'm on the left, next to wife Amanda. My dad is in plaid, pictured with my mom Tammie (also a teacher) and brother Patrick, along with their pugs. - I teach the STEM On Wheels (biking) STEMmersion with Mrs. Curran.
- I'm an advisor for JCOWA, the Junior Council on World Affairs, which
is a student organization that learns about world affairs and competes
in two annual competitions. Last year we got to go to the national
competition in Washington, D.C.! I hope some of you will consider joining, we have a lot of fun. Check out this student-produced video to see why others have joined!
The 2014 Dayton JCOWA Team in DC for the national competition! - I'm a student at Wright State, where I'm pursuing two master's degrees, one in International and Comparative Politics and another in Public Administration.

I'm looking forward to an exciting year!
