Welcome to American History in Mr. Joblin's class. We will spend this year studying the history of the United States of America from the end of the American Civil War to modern times.
My goal for this class is to create in you an appreciation of the nation we live in by studying how we became the country that we are. Of course the goal is also to prepare you for the state test in May. I will do every thing possible to help you to the point you need to be to score ADVANCED on the state test. I will provide the opportunity, you will have to do the hard work of learning.
I will guide you through the process of creating a portfolio for this class. The portfolio will contain all of the workbook pages completed by you during this year. Also it will have a page for each president, each decade, Supreme Court cases, and a page for laws. We will have several project based American History 1877-present including a family history project.
This class will begin with a review of early U.S. history for 3 weeks. We will then begin the study of modern U.S. history to prepare the students for the state test in May of 2015.
