US History for 8/18-8/26

The US History class will meet on Tuesdays and Thursdays with a "Reading and Composition" day on Friday (held in Mr. Hardin's room). In that time, students will be responsible to work on their assigned readings for history and English, writing for those courses, and planning ahead for other papers and projects. Use this time wisely!

We will begin the US History course by introducing students to the expectations for the year and then begin with an overview of the events leading to early exploration - the Renaissance and the Reformation. We will then discuss Columbus's voyages and motives.

Students will read by the following schedule:

Thursday (8/18) - Patriot’s Handbook, pgs. 17-20

Tuesday (8/23) - Patriot's Handbook, pgs. 21-22

Thursday (8/25) - Patriot's Handbook, pgs. 22-27
