Welcome

Welcome
to our class blog!
You are currently enrolled in a course entitled "American Century." Last semester we covered the inception of the United States, the building of this nation by founding fathers and mothers, and the trials, tribulations and triumphs leading Americans up to the Civil War. This semester we will cover Reconstruction through the 20th century. Our blog will serve to keep us up to date on assignments, as a forum for survey and discussion, and as a launching pad to the rest of the web which will help aid our research as historians. Enjoy!

Reminder that I will not be present in class today as I am attending a history conference in Boston. I'll miss you! Your task is to complete a webquest during our double. I will email you the document so that you may type it, but if you prefer to work by hand, feel free to print it out. This is designed to be completed IN CLASS, and will be collected Wednesday morning. Remember, you still have regular homework!

You may work with a partner but you must each hand in your own copy. Please write in complete sentences, in pen or typed.
