US History: Modern America
We will cover approximately one chapter every two weeks. Students should maintain a reading schedule so that you have the assigned chapter read before the Friday test. Chapters are about 25 pages each. Chapters include charts, pictures, etc. so they are not 25 pages of full text.
The companion site for the textbook can be found here and has review activities.
Benchmarks are district wide exams. The schedule as to where they fall in the chronology of chapters is currently tentative but a good guide. Benchmarks occur at the end of each quarter.
