The Great Depression

This week we will be moving into the Great Depression Era.  We will be taking notes, and watching The Waltons (a show portraying a family in the 1930s).

A bell work test will be given this Friday. 

The note test on the Depression will be the  following Friday, February 3rd.

Coming up...

Students/Parents,

Here's what you can expect coming up in Social Studies. We will have a bell work test this week.  As always, it's open notebook.  If you are copying and doing your daily work, making an "A" is a guarantee!

Next Friday is our note test from the 1920's/Jazz Age.

Your time capsules have been very interesting!  I hope some of you really do bury them and come back in ten or twenty years to discover what you and the world was up to in 2011!  Has anyone thought about putting part of our class blog in one?  :)

2nd Semester!

Happy New Year! I hope everyone gives 100% in this 2nd semester! We will continue studying the 1920s/Jazz Age. This test will be given on Thursday, January 12th.

From there, we will be covering The Great Depression.

Details on a very simple project (time capsule) will be given out this week.  Criteria will be discussed and you will copy down the notes on the board.  This will be used as your project guide.
