 * Welcome to Spring 2011 United States History!!!**

I am your teacher, Mrs. Abbott. I am originally from Georgia, and graduated from Arizona State University with an undergraduate degree in Business. I also obtained my Masters degree from Georgia State in Teaching. I look forward to be working with each of you this semester.

This semester we will cover SSUSH15 through SSUSH25. The period of time will span from 1900 to 2001. The goal of this semester is for you to be able to contextually explain the rise of the United States to global supremacy, and analyze the cause and effects of a multitude of events that led to the current era. Including topics such as the Progressive Era, World War I, Roaring Twenties, The Great Depression, World War II, The Cold War, and Civil Rights.

During the duration of the semester you will be working in groups quite often in various units. These groups will be assigned by me, and will require you to communicate with one another during school hours as well as when you are home. I will be utilizing this site to post your assigned topics and group members for each unit as the assignments are issued to the class. I want you to utilize this site as a source of information pertaining to group assignments and as a forum to communicate with your team-mates. One of the most famous wikis out there on the web, which you are most familiar with is wikipedia. Here is the history portal for wikipedia: [] I enjoy wikipedia for quick referencing for historical information.
