So what have we been doing this first week (almost) in American History?
We've been—and will continue to be—discussing policies in the class and subjects we will cover. We have already started with a brief review of 'America Before Columbus' (using the documentary of the same name) and in-class notes. Soon we will start discussing the English colonies on the East Coast.
The only 'assignments' we have had at this point are for students to bring in their three-ring binder, which will be dedicated to use only in history class and to write me a 'Dear Mr. Eddy' letter. As an optional extra credit assignment, students could have brought in a note signed by a parent saying that the Welcome Letter has been read. I am still accepting the signed note for extra credit.
I hope you can come to Back to School Night this Wednesday. I look forward to seeing old faces and meeting new ones!
