Mr. Murray and Ms. Colter's U.S History and Government iBlog

U.S. History

Good morning everyone! I hope that you have had a great week and that you are remaining healthy. Just a quick note for you regarding the remote learning schedule beginning next week. Our district is submitting our plans to the State this week for how to close out the school year using remote learning. We will have some adjustments to our posting schedule and the inclusion of some google hangouts. We will continue to do our articles and reflections in a similar fashion as before with only some minor changes to our dates of posting and the due date so don’t worry you are doing a great job. Be sure to check the iblog and your school email on Monday so you can see the updates.

This Weeks Reflection:

This week we have posted one article each day examining the post war boom of the 1950’s. For your closing assignment this week we want you to select one of the articles that we posted (I’m going to repost them below) and compete the reflection sheet posted in the supplemental materials section. You can save the document as a word document, google doc (you can type right in the document) or print out the paper write your answers then take a picture and email it to me. Once you have finished and saved your reflection please email it to me at murrayr@dearbornschools.org by Monday April 6^th, at 9:00 am. Be sure to use the check list I have included to make sure that you don’t skip a step.
