DUE TUESDAY APRIL 4th


Prompt: To what extent was the course of the Vietnam war decided by the everyday American as opposed to politicians?

Students,


Today we watched a video to facilitate the bands trip to NYC! please take Cornell Notes on the video and run them past me.

March 7th, 2017

Students,

Today we looked at some first hand accounts of life during the great depression. Analyzing primary source documents is a skill that will consistently be utilized in your everyday life. Getting valuable information from a document that you may or may not be too keen on reading has a funny way of being relevant; in job offers, scholarship applications, loan / credit documents. This is good life skill practice! If you are absent please see below for G.O. and readings.

Students,

Today we engaged in a more college style lecture discussion. So if you were absent you will need to get with a classmate or friend to copy notes down. I know its a little bit of an extra step, but it really should become a part of your daily school routine (comparing notes). Please see below for what presentation I do have to share.
