World History
When thinking about the Religion's Unit, remember the focus is on the development and growth of religions as related to politics, economics, and society/culture. This graphic organizer may help with this analysis.
Civics and Economics
American 1
American 2
Keep in mind the latter part of this unit looks at minority groups and the rise of traditional versus modern views. Booker T. Washington's "Atlanta Compromise" speech is a great talking point for this. And, Tripp Jeffers shared a constructed response to use with this. Check it out here.

Up Coming PD

Message from Melissa
I hope that things are going well for you. My world has been consumed by elementary stuff recently but it seems like the veil may be lifted soon. And, I will be all yours! I am working hard on my goal of visiting all of you. Last week I assisted ELA in delivering PD to the staff at Mount Tabor. So, a quick shout out to my Tabor peeps!
As always, please let me know if you need anything.
