Curtner’s Constitution

We are working on the Reconstruction and Progressive Era notes now. The students have completed the Reconstruction notes and are starting next week on Progressive.

~Mr. Curtner

We just finished up our Civil War notes. The students have a graphic organizer they can fill up and use on the test which will be next Thursday and Friday. This is a difficult test and everyone needs to start studying now to be prepared. There is a lot of information to process.

Mr. C

We have finished up the Antebellum period and have headed into the Civil War. The students are creating a narative of events leading up to the Civil War and are making a graphic organizer and study guide for Chapter 8.

Mr. Curtner

We finished up Chapter 6 test. If anyone feels that they didn’t do as good on the two tests as they wanted, they can retake a harder and longer test in place. We finished up our chapter 7 notes and started chapter 7 packet.

Mr. C

Welcome back students! Our classes have changed up but everyone is at the same spot.  We have taken some notes, did a land lottery simulation, and watched the IMAX video over the Louisiana Purchase called Lewis and Clark: A Journey West. I am attaching the notes over Chapter 6 we are in the process of taking.

Thanks!

Chapter 6 notes

We finished up Political Parties and hot topics. We will have our open note quiz over the Georgia on my mind on Wednesday and Thursday this week.

It has come to my attention that some of you are having a hard time with the file converter to office 2007 to view the notes and power points I post due to your type of computer systems. In future blog entries, I will post the information as a office 97 – 2003 document so that no one who has office should have any issues downloading the information. If you have Office 2007, I’m told it will upconvert those files so you also can view them without issue. I hope this addresses and helps those of you who are having any issues.

On a side note, the Executive Branch test will be on Friday and Monday and I am attaching the power point in the new format to this entry. Hope that helps everyone!

Mr. Curtner

The Executive Branch

We finished our notes over the Executive Branch (Governor and President) and I am posting them on the blog. Don’t forget, we will be having a short test over this on Thursday and Friday this week.
