The Great War is Over!

As I sit in class this morning I am watching my students take their test on World War I.   I hope that I have prepared them well enough to be successful.  As only a second year teacher of this course I certainly don't claim to be an expert on American history.  I do know that I have a passion for teaching and an intense desire to learn more.

This test marks the end of our second trimester studies.  Tomorrow we begin reviewing for next Tuesday's final exam.  The final will include everything that we studied from westward expansion through WWI.  It will not include the Civil War and Reconstruction.  The students have already received a study guide which should be very helpful while studying.

On another note, the students have done a great job working with Edmodo.  It has been a great communication tool for us.  For example, last night I was able to answer students' questions about the test.  One student posted a quizlet that was a great study aide.  I have been able to post all of the homework assignments, notes, study guides, etc.  My next goal is to start posting videos that the students will view for homework.

That't it for now.  As always, any feedback is greatly appreciated.
