GOOD SAMPLE BLOG POST: American History, Periods 1, 3, and 5

The end of the year is quickly approaching and there is still so much to learn and do!

Today we discussed the Vietnam War in greater detail. We imagined ourselves as policymakers and voters in 1968, and created pros and cons charts for continuing the war. There were a lot of interesting ideas.

On Monday we will examine how opposing viewpoints over the war clashed during the 1968 presidential election.

Homework: Read Chapter 26, Section 3 in the textbook (pages 364-368). Come to class on Monday prepared to discuss the platforms of Humphrey and Nixon. You can also read more about the election here.

In the meantime, best of luck to Jefferson Cougars Girls Basketball as they take on defending district champions the Washington Spartans!
