U.S. History II
Welcome to U.S. History II. In this class we will be talking about US History from the early 20th century until the present. In that time, there have been many changes in this country in the areas of technology, civil rights, women's rights, immigration, economics, the environment, education, and of course sports and entertainment. At some point or another we will be talking about all of them.
Your task for this first blog is to pick someone that you believe has had a major impact on the history of America in the last 100 years. Tell me who they are/were, what they did, who they affected and then explain what kind of influence they have had on this country. Make sure you justify your answers.
Make sure that you put some thought into who it is that you choose and why. You are expected to answer in at least one paragraph using 5-7 well developed sentences, although you may certainly type more. I would suggest typing your answer in word or Google Docs to spell check it before you cut and paste it into the blog.
You will have two weeks to post. If you do not have internet access at home, check out the Library during your lunch. If you already have what you want to type written out, it will take you no time at all to post. I am also available after school if you need to stay for a bit to make sure you post on time. Please remember that once you post, your work will be available for the rest of the class to see and you will get a grade for your work. Use formal speech please, no text speak.
Good luck and good typing!
