US History

This class is a continuation of last semester's US History class.  We will begin this semester with the Revolutionary War and continue through history at a pace decided by the kids. The history textbook that we will be using is Howard Zinn's A Young People's History of the United States.  In general, it can be expected that we will spend two weeks on each chapter.  Students are expected to read at home and the class time is used for discussion, craft projects, games and supplementary materials.
