Greetings, Class of 2014!
Thanks for visiting the blog. I've set this up as a way for us to communicate with each other, and share ideas about Social Studies, school, the world, etc. I'd like to use this a way for us to even complete our homework assignments; saves paper, time, trees, etc.
As 8th graders, you and the other members of our Junior High School Learning Community (JHLC) have been engaged in a rigorous course of study in American History. As you know, it is an extremely challenging course. At the end of this school year, your learning community will take the Grade 8 New York State Social Studies Assessment. Your performance on that exam may enable some members of our learning community to take Advanced Placement (AP) US History next year. This is a college-level course, and if you pass a very tough, very demanding exam, you may earn up to SIX (6) college credits, saving you valuable time and money when you get to college.
So. Here's what I need YOU to do tonight.
