Review Help!

If you are wanting some extra help, here are some things to get you ready for the test.  First of all, the study guide is located on the right side of this article.  You may have to scroll down a bit, but it is entitled Early Republic Study Guide.  Also, this Crash Course video is great for the War of 1812.  I ended up not doing a review video since it is all on the study guide and that would just be redundant.  If you want to see/hear some sort of review, go to the videos and skim through those to get what you need.  As always, come see me if something just does not make sense.  Plus, do NOT forget about your projects due on Tuesday and Wednesday!

Video 15, James Monroe


Video 15 is up!  Remember, do not use a video notes guide for this one.  All of the directions will be given to you, so listen very carefully.  Also, don't forget to check out the links in the previous post to help you with your projects.  If you need help on anything, please do not hesitate to ask!

The Early Republic Project Has Begun!

Hello amazing students!  This is one of my favorite projects of the year.  I started it last year and it was lot of fun seeing what everyone created!  Remember, you have the menu to choose what you want to do to show me what you learned from the Early Republic Era.  You can do Twitter, Instagram, a newspaper, research paper, short story, History Channel Documentary, or even a movie!  I've started posting info on the class Twitter account (see Twitter feed on the side) and on the class Instagram (again, see side of the website).  Visit these amazing websites to get all the information you need!  Also, if you are doing an event, tell me and I will help you find resources for that too!  It is going to be a great experience for you all!  It is really fun for me too, being able to see some of the things you are creating as soon as you do that on my phone!  As always, if you have ANY questions, or need help on anything, you know I am always here to guide you along.  Please do not hesitate to ask for help!  

Now, for the links that will help you if you are doing one of the six people mentioned in class.
