We will be following this general outline in the course which students will use from week to week and unit to unit. I have also set up a CANVAS classroom for each American II class which I instruct. Students will work online and in class each week. If students miss an assignment, an email would be greatly appreciated, and I can point them to the needed material here. Always, CANVAS classroom will be the best place for announcements, etc. Thank you.
The American History course has changed in the last few years. It is a comprehensive course from the French and Indian War through the election of 2020 and into recent times. The outline of this particular course picks up at the Civil War. Coursework will get to this outline within the first four to five weeks. The first few weeks of the course will be a brief review of information learned in past social studies classes at the high school. Thank you.
