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.
