September 17th, 2010

This blog has been created to help students in Mr. Longs US History classes to obtain things you have missed in class, get an overview of happened and as a reminder for homework, projects, test and quiz dates.


Started class off by getting into groups and presenting posters students have made. The posters represented various values and how they might have changed over time. Such as superiority, which, according to one student is that it is still very much alive. They took time to explain posters and answered questions about it.


Overarching question: In what ways is the past a part of the present, in what ways is it a departure?

What does it "mean" to be an American?
Some responses: It means to be better then everyone else.
It means to want power and have influence over other countries.
We're hypocritical and even though we say we're free, there is still segregation and the rights aren't equal among everyone.
International traders.
