Here is where you will find all of our class recaps and HW assignments.  If something changes from the syllabus, it will be noted here.  If students need to study a concept more, it will be noted here.  Basically everything will be noted here! 

Today was a great first day of class and I enjoyed getting to meet so many new students.  We discussed the syllabus and our homework for the week.  We also went over my personal expectations and policies (which are all listed on the syllabus).  Finally, we ended the class with a little game to get our brains more familiar with the timer period we will be studying.  For HW, students should complete their name tent and bring it back to class next week.  Additionally, students should read, take notes, and complet pages 1-13 in their binder/book.  

Today we played Timeliner!  Make sure you know those dates!  We also went over pages 1-13 in our book, which was our assigned HW.  For this week's HW, you should complete to page 20. 

Today we took our first test and completed our first notebook check.  If you bring in a piece of paper with five presidents'  names on it, I will add five extra credit points to your test. 

Today we reviewed our test, discussed the beginnings of the Progressive Era, and learned when the Nintendo Corporation was established (1889!). For homework this week students need to complete to page 48.  If they did not get anything in their notebook finished from this past week, remember to do that as well.  Additionally, if students would like to earn more points back on any of the essay questions on their test (NOT the multiple choice) they may bring in a corrected test with additional information written IN A SEPARATE COLOR (or a typed paragraph, which I will run through AI checking software) for more points back on their essay questions. 

Today we worked in groups to complete the information about the Progressive Era, specifically focusing on Amendments 16-19.  We also discussed Teddy Roosevelt and his contributions.  For HW complete Woodrow Wilson, Women Contributors (especially from Tennessee), and the Unit Two Review.  Our next test will be October 2nd.

Today we reviewed the test and I explained that extra credit options always available on my website (these have been there since the beginning of the year). We also spend a great deal of time reviewing what was homework (we had a lot).  We were able to work up to page 71.  Next week, we will begin discussing the reasons for WWI. For HW, complete to page 84. 

Today we really reviewed what lead to WWI using the key term MANIA.  We'll have a review week next week (10/30) and then our third test on 11/6. 

Today we played a review game using puzzle pieces and everyone had a study guide for the test next week.  HW was 96-104

Today we took a test over WWI.  Complete pages 105-112 for HW

Today we played a game called Listography to review general history terms and events.  We did a deeper dive on the Harlem Renaissance by looking at some art from the time period.  If you did not complete your art response, please do that for HW, along with pages 114-125

Today we worked together to complete a collaborative poster on the following 1920s topics: Prohibition, Scopes Monkey Trial, Flappers, Fashion, and Candy Bars! For HW, please complete up to page 127.  Everything from page 1-127 needs to be complete before Christmas Break.
