On Blog!

Welcome to the blog created for various and sundry activities related to our US history class! This week and next this space will be devoted to study for the unit test (un)covering Progressivism and World War I.

As discussed in class, I will post below a version, possibly redacted, of the questions you all have submitted. Your task is to respond in a productive way to 3 questions by Monday, April 23rd at 9pm. What is a "productive way"? It means that you should attempt to answer the questions you select in a detailed and thoughtful manner. Or, if you don't feel informed enough to answer a particular question, try to contribute to the discussion by asking related questions, pointing out connections to other topics or events, revising or repositioning the original question, etc. This ought to help us to identify blind spots in our knowledge about these topics and to begin to fill in those spots.

What will we do with this blogular location in the weeks that follow? The possibilities are, you know, endless. And I will entertain all suggestions. I think, however, that we will use this blogtastic space to prepare for our second -- and final! -- quarter test and the semester exam. And also to discuss ideas and concerns related to the Decades Film project.
