Important Note!!!

Due to College Day for Juniors 1/28/19 which essentially cancelled 2nd period US History that day AND a mandated district meeting I have to attend Thursday 1/31/19 which will only affect 5th Period US History, I have have been forced to make a few modifications to my lesson plans.

Bottom line, only 3rd, 4th and 7th did the Charlie Chaplain movie and study guide. Some classes had the Chapter 12 (New Deal) assignment, video, discussion & quiz moved around.

I have included the details here (below ⤋ and above⤊), to the best of my ability BUT if you have any questions at all, please don't hesitate to email me (stanley.andrus@jordandistrict.org) OR speak with me in person before or after school or during MAP.
