US History/ AP World History
This will be my 3rd year teaching at Weatherford High School, and 10 years teaching in Weatherford ISD. I am so excited for this school year and cannot wait to share my love for history!
US History
This year students will learn about the years after Reconstruction through Modern times. We will focus on political, economic and social views and how that affects our culture and economy in different parts of the country and our place in the world. Most of our text will consist of primary documents from the era we are studying along with some secondary sources that will engage students in class discussions about the content. I can’t wait to share my love of history with you and hopefully we will learn some new things together this year!
AP World History
AP World History is a superior preparation for college. While our goal is that you will all receive acceptable scores of threes or higher on the May exam, additional goals include preparing students for 11th grade AP US History, PSAT, and SAT college placement exams. Another major goal is for students to learn to think critically and write as a good historian. This class will help open your eyes to the world around you. All students who want to try these classes are welcome provided you understand that we will read extensively and write extensively. I will provide assistance and tutorials when help is needed. A lot of work and reading will be done outside of class time and is essential to success in AP World History.
