Welcome to Moulton's U.S. History Webpage!

Overview--U.S. History is a required course for all juniors at BFA.  We will be analyzing our American history from a cultural, political, economic, military, domestic, and foreign point of view and apply how the events of the past shape who we are today.

This course will allow the students to take a historical journey through the practices of Differentiated Instruction, Multiple Intelligences, Learning Styles, Bloom's Taxonomy, and Technology.  We will attempt to make the historical connections of the past and the present through the forces of unity and disunity by taking on the role of an historian.

 

Site Navigation--Please note that you have a series of menus located on the right-hand side of this webpage.  Please take a moment to become familiar with the resources that I have posted in order to help access any information that you need.

 

Daily Updates--In the space provided below on this very webpage, I will be posting the agenda for each U.S. History class so that parents and students may be well informed about classroom activities and assignments that occurred during our class time together.  It is my hope that students will check in frequently to this webpage to serve as a reminder for homework assignments, tests, or projects, as well as to update any students who were absent from class. 

Moreover, I also hope that parents will use this page to monitor our daily agenda to help ensure their student's success.
