Grad Exam Info
These links are posted in the sidebar, but it's worth posting as a regular blog update. Here's the link to the Social Studies item specifications. I'm still looking for a good quiz site, but this looks helpful as well: >link here<
My search has also turned up some flash cards and an article about how to pass the exam.
If you want to try a game, here's a "Who Wants to Be A Millionaire" PowerPoint for Internet Explorer. Follow the directions on screen! I'll try to save it to my computer so we can give it a try in class :)

Take-home essay portion of test--US History 10
This essay will contribute 25 points to your chapter 7 test grade. The instructions follow:
—NOTE: this question will serve as the essay section of the chapter test! You are encouraged to do internet research.
—Nobody can deny that slavery was a horrible, inexcusable part of our history. At the same time, it can be argued that it contributed strongly toward making our culture what it is today. In two or more well-developed paragraphs, discuss the positive and negative effects of America’s history of slavery on today’s society. In your opinion, is the end result worth it? Explain.
—Due date: the day of the test! You may turn it in early.
*CLARIFICATION* Think about any different aspects of slave society as it relates to today's world...religion, African culture, music, race relations, food, slave culture, and so on. Make connections and use examples! If there's anything I didn't think of (I have a headache and my brain isn't quite 100%), feel free to discuss. It's wide open for your interpretation.
What I'm looking for: real-world connections, evidence that you're seeing past the surface, and proof that you've taken meaning out of what you've seen and heard.
