Thursday September 3rd


Advanced American History

Both American history and American literature classes are in the auditorium for a two period block.  Here students will be introduced to the nature of the interdisciplinary course with an overview slideshow of the two courses and other activities including quizzes, group trivia and music in history. (note:  Mrs. Koehler and myself have been known to entertain in this intro experience, but you won't see anything like the video above).

Assignment:  Be sure to cover your textbook by Tuesday

American History

Our study of American history continues with an analysis of the nature of historical study.  What does it mean to think "historically?"  Why would you want to?  Through a few informal class activities, we will come to understand how studying our collective past allows us to better understand our present and plan for our future.

Assignment:  Complete oral history interview questions for Tuesday.
