TLH Categories: How do you think we have met these learning targets?

Good Morning and Good Day,

      Some of these faces should start to look fairly familiar by now.  One, two, and three are GW, JA, and TJ.  Hopefully, if time permits, we will be able to get to 4 and 5.  The two men that followed Jefferson were also Virginians, James Madison and James Monroe.

     Here are the Learning Targets we are trying to meet.  What do you think?  How have we met them?  Have we met them completely?

I can classify series of historical events and developments as examples of change and/or continuity.

I can analyze multiple factors that influenced the perspectives of people during different historical eras.

Happy Midday 8th Graders,

      Below you will find the link to the graphic organizer needed to complete our work today.  We have been looking at the first few Presidents to find examples of Turning Points, Cause and Effect Relationships, and Through Their Eyes Perspectives.  We are looking within Historical Context to apply what we have learned so far: TP, TE, CE.

Welcome Back: TLH & Turning Points

Good Day to Everyone,

      Welcome back from a great extended weekend.  We're getting started right away so make sure your tables are set to do great thinking.  We are leaving The American Indian Story and The Holocaust behind as we continue on into U.S. History.  Our next topic of study will be the Founding and Framing of the United States of America.  Today specifically, we are starting with the year 1776.

      1776 was a TURNING POINT for our country.  Some historians refer to dramatic changes as turning points.  A turning point signifies a profound change in one or more of the major arena of human experience (political, social, economic, or cultural/intellectual).  Why do you think the year 1776 could be considered a TURNING POINT?
