Hey y’all, these are some crazy times we’re living in, this is the kind of stuff students will be reading about in their textbooks 20 years from now! While we’re all trying to figure this online stuff out know that I’m thinking of y’all and if you need any help at all please let me know. I’ll be using this website and Google Classroom for assignments (like I normally do) so together we’ll all figure this out together. The best way to contact me is via the Remind text. Again, please reach out if you have questions or need help. Much love ❤️, Herrud.

Study up on Progressivism by looking over this Prezi. Focus specifically on what was done by our government (Acts & Laws) to show that change was effected because of the hard work of those with progressive ideals.

Instead of me giving you a crossword puzzle to fill out, you will be creating one for me. You will be assigned a section (1-3) from Chapter 23 of our book (Postwar America) from which you will create a crossword puzzle. Follow the steps below:
1. Read your assigned section
2. Find 10 terms/concepts/person that is significant (important)
3. Place the 10 terms on the graph paper, just like a crossword puzzle . . . make sure each word intersects with another. Don't leave any spaces.
4. Come up with clues or descriptions of the 10 terms/concepts/person on the bottom half of the page.
5. On the back side, outline the boxes where the terms/concepts/person will be found. Include the clues for Down and Across terms/concepts/person.

Towards the end of class we reviewed some questions that have been found on previous tests.
