This website is the most updated online version of the World Book encyclopedia.  A GREAT place to start for research – it includes links to other websites, book recommendations.  It also has maps, primary sources, and world newspapers.  Finally it gives the option to listen to the text and save articles to a research folder.

Below are pictures from past years. As we make memories this year I will add more pictures! Enjoy!

If you're having trouble remembering Social Studies ideas don't worry ... you're not alone... also this class will focus less on memorization and more on creating your own interpretation of United States history :)

Thank you to my professor for sharing these videos with me (January 2016).
