HISTORY - 1st homework and up-coming classwork

Timeline! ~homework & up-coming classwork
After a few days of getting accustomed to the class and going over US geography, US History 1 students have now begun work on the history curriculum.
~
We will be starting with a general overview of the entire curriculum in the form of a Timeline!
This will give everyone a mental framework for the work we'll be doing this year, aswell as a perspective on the chronology and timeframe involved.
1st Homework:
US History 1: Putting it in order (a fill in the blanks timeline)
... due dates = Per 4: received on 9/3, Due on 9/4
..........................Pers 3, & 6: received on 9/4, Due on 9/8
..........................Per 1: received on 9/8, Due on 9/9
Class work:
In the next few days students in all classes will begin constructing a Timeline of US History 1 including several of the key events that we will be covering this year.
Students will receive class time to work on this assignment, but must complete any portion not done in class for homework. These timelines should remain in every student's binder throughout the year to remind them of were we are in history, what they have already learned, and what's coming next!
