Welcome!

Greetings U.S. History Scholars,
As we get started on our journey towards increased knowledge about our shared history, it is important to consider that we are a part of a country that greatly influences the world.  This bears with it a responsibility to know and understand our past and how that past continues to shape our present, and our future. Over the course of this year, we will listen to voices of the past. We will examine their thoughts on what it means to be an American and think about how that definition has grown and changed over time, and how it has remained constant.  We will also become a part of that conversation, developing our own definitions of what it means to be an American and considering the nature of citizenship.  As the year goes on, you will all become participants in the "town square" both in and outside of class.  I look forward engaging in the process with you.  Good Luck!
Your first assignment sheet (and first homework assignment) is posted in the Unit 1 Tab above.
Mr. Kramer
