ESOL US History Welcome Fall 2019

Welcome back to school! US History is a challenging class, but if you do your classwork and study for tests, you should do very well. We do have a class set of the textbooks this year that will stay in the classroom, but the great news is there is also digital access.

Monday is the last day to prepare for the EOC. Remember, if you want extra credit for the EOC prep packets, they need to be turned in by Monday afternoon. Also, USAtestprep has many, many!!!!! assignments you can do to prepare for the EOC. After the EOC, we will be watching movies that are related to US History. I will provide more opportunities to get extra credit relating to the movies. On Wednesday, May 15, my father and his friend will come to speak to us about the Vietnam War.
