Intro to History Class

 WELCOME TO HISTORY!

Welcome back to History everyone! I'm excited for this year and I wanted to give you an overview of what we're going to be doing :) This year we will be studying post World War II through the present. Each month we will be studying a decade of time, as follows:

September: 1940s

October: 1950s

November: 1960s

January: 1970s

February: 1980s

March: 1990s

April: 2000s

Along with our study of political and social change, we will be having some fun remembering our recent cultural fads as well. So, for each Journeyman history class, we will be having a decade party! Make sure you come dressed up for the decade, and we will be doing some TOTALLY RADICAL decade-based activities.  

SUPPLIES

This year you will need a binder for history. We will be creating notebooking pages for each decade, a timeline, and short bios on important people. Your binder will give you a place to keep these items, along with your inspirements so you'll have a record of what you learn this year. We will also be keeping note cards with important terms to remember. Here is a list of items you'll need for this class:

• 1" binder
• index cards
• plastic pages
• paper for your notebook pages (this could be typing paper, cardstock or scrapbook paper)
• Print 1 copy of these pictures and cut out. Keep them in a plastic page until you are ready to use them. Click here to print your historical figures for the year.

QUIZZES

We will be playing games each month to test your knowledge/memory of your note card terms, so make sure you are studying them. There will be some awesome prizes!
