WELCOME!

Welcome to Honors Comprehensive American Studies II!

This blog was created by Mrs. Mireault and Mr. Bujold to help communicate more effectively with students and parents this year in Honors Comprehensive American Studies II. We will be blogging often with the class agenda, links to assignments, and links to interesting and informative topics that we see on the internet.

You will notice there are two additional tabs: "Unit Handouts" and "Resources." These will provide ample support as we journey through the year.

We are very excited to begin this year!

Here is our class expectation sheet

We will kick off our class with a quick summary of your summer reading, and use that as a basis for discussing the purpose of the class--to synthesize literature AND history, and how they are intertwined. You will informally present/summarize what you read & discovered. Most of you shared a book with somebody, and if that is the case, you will present as a group. This should be very quick-no more than 5 minutes. Touch base with your group to share your thoughts and make notes. Make sure to cover all three tasks you were to complete (unless otherwise noted in the handout).
