History Day Participants

Everyone needs to come see me tomorrow for Registration information. I neeed to see your titled entries. Some need to work on your entries and titles. A checklist will be made and you need to be sure you complete your work BEFORE March arrives. 

Be sure to have the following done correctly and turned in by everyone going:

Process Paper ( I want digital AND paper copies)

I will write a letter home as well to let your parents know when and where the District History Day will take place. I want everyone to prepare for this. You will be interviewed for the event too, so dress nice and be sure you know your topic well. You need to arrange to have transportation for you and your team members. We will have a meeting next week (not sure what day) with everyone going from the school. We need to discuss: transportation, meals, attire, time, etc..

Tuesday News

Hiya

I have been doing some research on iTunes (uh?) and found some downloads you can get for FREE that you need to watch!!! Granted they are not short, so you need hard drive space to get them all. The beauty is you can watch it from home and not have to stay after school to watch them. 

Go to iTunes University and look up WGBH. There you will see the American  Presidents series. Great great great (did I say great?) resource to help you. You can put them on your iPod or whatever you use (PC is fine alone). These will help you "concept" time and place (SPRITE) what was happening in US History. Remember these are FREE, GRATIS, Zip in cost, don't wait and start to download them ASAP before they take them off. To buy these cost $24.99 because I bought one before I saw it on iTunes (FDR). I lost money :(

Be mindful of the news, 50,.000 jobs will be lost soon, think about the economy and how it is strengthening the recession. 

Be thankful for all you have....
