Listen to me, my American History students…..I have some really fun and interesting things prepared for you this year as we study our country’s history. Listen for the SIX units; the SIX components of how our class is taught; the SIX ‘essential skills’ I believe you must possess to be truly successful in my class and in school. Remember, I teach an ‘advanced studies’ class that has high expectations. I know you can succeed if you will only commit to being the best you can be! carpe diem
