APUSH and APHG - Canvas Roll Out

Okay - I have entered in all the email addresses that I was given.  Before tomorrow's class, please log in to your email and accept my Canvas invite.  This will allow us SO much more flexibility.  There is also an App so you can take your social studies class with you wherever you go!  How AWESOME is that! ;)  After you have accepted my invite and created your account, we can get this baby up and running!

Technology is AWESOME!

Let me know if you have any questions!

Morning!  Keep working on those DBQs.  Remember they are due Friday. Take a look at your notes and the Prezi that is posted here. Don't forget to bring in outside information, that is what will make your essay shine! 

Today:
In case you missed today, be sure to get your notes from someone.  We also did an analysis of this letter from Richard Frethorne, an indentured servant. After breaking it down, we answered the following questions:

Describe the life of the indentured servant as presented in this letter.

What are some of the problems he and the other servants experienced?

What are their biggest fears?

What does a historian learn about life in the 17c Chesapeake colony?

APUSH 9/10/2014

YAY!!!  I got a post up!

Now to get APUS up here!  I will get every assignment/assessment on here, as well as other tidbits that will help direct you in the right direction.

So, let's start with today!

Here is the article (On the Destruction of the Indies) that we read in class today.  Page 1 and Page 2.  Sorry, since I printed it at home, I never thought to save it to my flashdrive and you are stuck with a scanned PDF. ;)  I am certain you will survive!  And HERE is the reflection for the article.  Please make sure that you have it prepared for tomorrow's class.

Have a  great day and be amazing!
