Can you believe it's already the end of July??  That means you have 2 weeks of summer left.  Next week it will be time to do the
Back-to-School shopping for binders, pens, and paper.  Hopefully your dress code clothing is arriving soon--just in time for school pictures next Monday.

Here in the world of APUSH we're still enjoying the summer schedule.  Class tonight will be at TCCS, in Room 108 from 6 - 9 p.m.  The sailing trip has been rescheduled for NEXT WEEK so that more people in the class can participate!  There's no need to be in dress code tonight...just be comfortable; snacks/drinks will be served.  Your Chapter 2 take-home Quiz answers and the Chapter 3 Section Summary Sentences should be turned in on edmodo.com before you come to class tonight.  Answer this week's question (below) and you'll be all ready for class!

Tonight we'll start with a short review of the Cheasapeake colonies (there are 2 of them) and the 3 Southern colonies before watching the power point about the Puritans and the founding of New England.  See you soon!

This Week's Question:  What is your current favorite piece of technology and why?
             (Could be your computer, iPad, smart phone, twitter, facebook, mp3 player, etc.)

Currently, I would have to say Google Drive or Drop Box for storing documents, etc., because I have a terrible tendancy to lose USB drives stocked with information!!

  1. My personal favorite technology is the television. Without it, I could not play video games or entertain myself. There are many shows to watch and I can always find satisfaction and fun with family and friends through video games on the television. Yay TV!

  2. My favorite technology is my phone because I can communicate with people around the world through phone calls and messages. Moreover, I can use it to go on internet to check on things. Without it, I will not be able to communicate with my family in other parts of the world so easily.
