Off To A Great Start!

The new semester is here! We've hit the ground running in every class. US History II is quickly discovering why Hitler and the Nazis were able to come to power so easily in the 1930s; World Geography is becoming quickly acquainted with the European countries so they don't have a Miss South Carolina moment :) ; US History I is learning what a President faces in his job every day and how to become more politically involved to truly change things; and Sociology is quickly becoming a very interesting class to teach.

Many of my students had no clue what Sociology was or why they should study it. So far, the class has been the highlight of the week, and more is yet to come! Yet they will be able to tell you at this point that sociology is the study of society, and that sometimes common sense can warp what is really reality in the social world. The class will work on discussing a sociology-related article online at Google Groups - you can check it out by using the link on the right hand side of this page!

Have a great rest of the week! US History II is going on their long-anticipated field trip tomorrow; I'll try to post pictures!
