Welcome to United States History and Texas History! I very much look forward to working with each of you this year and believe that together we can make this your most interesting and exciting year of history yet. Through discussion, debate, research, and group activities, you will discover your own perspective on historical events, as well as learn to analyze the myriad of  historical interpretations available to students today. It is my goal to not only prepare you for academics to come, but help you develop the skills and foundation necessary to become an informed and active citizen.

See you in class-

Below are the materials you will need to be successful in your history this year, as well as materials that may make the year a little easier for you and your classmates. Please let me know if you have any trouble finding or acquiring the materials and I will be more than happy to help. : )

Required Materials:
1. Spiral Notebook
     -This should be a single-subject spiral notebook with approximately 70 pages. Please do NOT bring a spiral notebook that has perforated edges. A composition will work, but you may have trouble gluing in maps and paperwork formatted for a standard sized spiral.

2. A blue or black pen

3. Loose-leaf lined paper

It would be nice if you could bring these, but they are not required:
1. Colored pencils
2. A box of tissues
