HONORS US HISTORY STUDENTS

I entered your multiple choice score in Synergy. Remember, that score is out of 50 points. I'm not sure what to make of your results. Some of you really need to change how you approach studying for unit exams with multiple choice.

ALL US HISTORY STUDENTS

I hope you've had a lovely weekend. Quarter two starts tomorrow and I hope you're ready. Some of my favorite topics in US History are coming your way in our final quarter together. 

One of those topics happens to be African Americans' struggle to attain to civil rights. The preview below is based on the fight for voting rights in Alabama in 1965. We will cover this in topic in great detail in class. 

I propose that we make plans to see the movie MLK Day weekend. The movie opens January 9 and I would like to meet you guys at the movie on the weekend of January 16. We can pin down a day and time as the release date approaches.
