Welcome Blog: Class Introductions and Team Building
Welcome Back 11th Graders!!! First I would like to say I hope each and
everyone
had a great and restful summer. I look forward to teaching you a host of
new
information and several new strategies to assist you in analyzing
historical
data. The AP US History course is designed to give students an
introductory level class for first year college readiness. The Advanced
Placement course will be extremely challenging and demanding for outside
readings, assessments, presentations, and essays. I am confident that
the students in this course will be responsible for their workload and
mature enough to handle the pressure. My ultimate goal this year is to
help my students think like a historian
and formulate their own perspective about events and people of American
history. This
course examines US History from the pre-colonial period to the current administration of President Barack Obama concentrating on the issues that our country are facing currently.
