You will post Unit/Theme choices, beginning and ending dates, questions and comments here. (This is required. After you complete each Unit/Theme, I will post a comment verifying completion of your project. Parents/guardians/Guidance, etc. will be able to track your progress by checking the comments section of this blog post.)
Before you post comments, you must register with Blogger. On the first day of class we will do this. Everyone must do this. If you do not have an email address, we will set one up for you. Once you register, DO NOT forget your user name or password! Your user name is your email address. You cannot retrieve forgotten passwords from school computers. Finally, when you are asked to type your display name, DO NOT type in your first and last name. Type your last name and the letters "U.S." or "W" for U.S. History Recovery or World History Recovery.
For most of you, the majority of your work will be done online either on the blog or class wikispace page. For searches, I've included a wikipedia search tool at the bottom of the page. I'd like all of you to view the video embedded below so you will develop a better understanding of wikipedia.

Chris read a good book in the June session about the Holocaust. Maybe one of you would like to read it? The book is in the classroom on the long table...it's called Maus.
There are many online exhibits and other resources on the United States Holocaust Memorial site. I suggest you two check it out.
The Korean War
maybe the history between Mongolia and China something dealing with the great wall or events leading up to its creating.
i'm a little short on ideas when it comes to world history everything i would like to do seems to deal more with us history. im gonna keep looking and maybe have more ideas or maybe more specific ideas tommorow.
also i am having difficulty finding some topics involving world history rather than just U.S. History. Most blog posts and activities involve U.S. and not anything national. Have any ideas? i'de like to hear them. also i had posted quiet a bit of information on an older "images in action" i believe its called.
Millions died in the concentration camps and afterwards the Nazis were defeated and most of the Jews were sent out of the concentration camps. Over 3.8 million people died in all of the concentration camps put together.
The only thing that tells about the Holocaust is the diary of a little girl named Anne Frank.
