Hello,

Homework Due Tomorrow, Tuesday, March 27.

Students need to read one of the articles from the new Upfront Magazine. Then write up a summary of what they read about in the article. We will go over these in class and I will collect the homework.

Best,

Hello Everyone,

Here we are back in school after a two week break. I am looking forward to working with the 7th Grade American Studies class this spring. On Monday we began working on the second half of the U.S. Citizenship Test. This section deals with the Rights and Responsibilities of citizens.

Homework due tomorrow, Friday is to research and answer questions 58-70 on the citizenship test that have to do with the Colonial Period and Independence. Students have a copy of this. During class this Friday we will review these questions and once again break into small groups to work on questions 78-87 having to do with Recent American History and Other Important Historical Information.

Looking Ahead to Next Week: On Tuesday, we will finish the Ken Burns Film about Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton and work on the rest of the U. S. Citizenship Test (which has 100 questions in total). Ken Burns will visit with us on Friday, April 6th, from 8:30 am-9:30am to discuss his film and the reasons whey he feels that Anthony and Stanton were two of the most important, and yet most overlooked historical figures in our country's history.

Please feel free to join us on Friday morning if you have the time.

Best,

Steve
