Welcome!
For the majority of you, this year is going to be a continuation of your U.S. History class from last year. This year, we'll be working on improving your reading, writing, and analysis skills through the study of the modern era of U.S. History. We will be picking up shortly after the end of the Civil War, with the reconstruction of the South, and be studying topics in American History all the way to the present day. This is a engaging class which is intended to prepare you for the more challenging Language Arts and Social Studies courses you'll be taking in high school next year.
To help you throughout the year, I've set up this class website, which contains an assignment calendar, downloadable class handouts, a list of supplies you'll need, and links to educational resources that we'll use. There is also a Community Forum in which you can reach out to other students or myself for help, Use the buttons at the top of the page to navigate this website, and as always, if you have questions don't hesitate to ask me! I look forward to this year being a successful and exciting one. Welcome back!
