Blog #1- Due Thursday, September 12

Welcome back to school! I hope you had a fantastic summer and that you are as excited as I am to start off this new school year on the right foot! I am really looking forward to having a great year!

For your first blog I want you to write one thing that you remember learning about last year in social studies. Be specific on what you remember, and why you remember learning about it. Don't just say, "I remember learning about the Revolutionary War because it was cool." Give specific details about the topic that you remember most and specific reasons why you remember it.

Also, please tell me one thing you are looking forward to or are hoping to learn about this year in social studies. Again, please be specific.

***Remember, the more detailed your responses are, the more credit you will earn. Also remember that you must read and comment on other responses in order to earn full credit!!!!
