Again, it is in the best interest (safety) of our students to remain on campus and be productive while they are in class during exam time. This is a great time for you to have hands on projects/activities for them to do; things that you wish you had time to do during the regular semester.

We will go through the Released 2014 Fall Exam that you took yesterday. Log on to Socrative. To help review tomorrow, what I want you to do is create the questions for a review game. You and a partner will create 10 Jeopardy style questions for review tomorrow. You will be assigned a category and your questions must all deal with that category. You may use any and all resources you have at your disposal including, but not limited to: the text book, Study Island, Quizlet, the Google, maybe even a real book! The possibilities are endless. Use this Template for your questions. Submit this on Edmodo. If you are not submitting the question, you still need to go to Edmodo and say, Hey, I was in a group with this person. When you're finished with your questions, go look at your classmates' Book projects and fill out the peer grading google forms. You must do at least 5 of each. You can do more. Journal:

Read the excerpt and answer the bolded question. Little by little he transforms the wilderness, but the outcome is not the old Europe ... The fact is, that here is a new product that is American. At first, the frontier was the Atlantic Coast. It was the frontier of Europe in a very real sense. Moving westward, the frontier became more and more American ... Thus the advance of the frontier has meant a steady movement away from the influence of Europe, a steady growth of independence on American lines. And to study this advance, the men who grew up under these conditions, and the political, economic, and social results of it, is to study the really American part of our history. Frederick Jackson Turner, The Significance of the Frontier in American History, 1893 How did the settlement of the American West resolve the conflict between European and American cultural identities? Support your response by making one inference from information in the above quote. Our goal for today is to make it through notes on Presidents Nixon, Ford and Carter.
