AYDEN-GRIFTON HIGH SCHOOL
Welcome to the 2014-2015 school year. During US History 2 we will study the history, people and events that has made our country exceptional in almost every way. Our goal is to cover US history from the beginning of colonization through the present time. We will utilize the chrome books, document analyst, collaborative pairs, current events, YouTube, and each other in order to better understand C&E. I hope during the course of the year, your knowledge and understanding of the history of the world will continue to grow. Progress reports will be handed out after each completed unit.
