Blog-o-signment #1: set up blog

Due Date for this task: Monday January 26th (both tasks)

So being the super techno, hyper-crazy computer nerd (insert chuckle here... ), I decided to embark on a mission to use the blog as an entry point for the 2nd semester. I think it will make class interesting, innovative and interesting for all.

You will be creating your own blog for APUSH, so your job this week is to set up your history blog.

Create your "home" blog to answer weekly journal / essential questions, historical inquiries and general queries about history.

Here are your tasks for this week:

1) Go to blogger.com and set it up.

It is pretty self explanatory, the only direction is you must email me your blogger.com web address / URL. Email me at dbeller2@wcpss.net. Keep it simple.

You can choose the color, the layout and design. Please avoid immediately putting a ton of photos and links, this is an academic page, so lets keep it fun and interesting, but focused on the task at hand.

Your academic task: 

Your job is to watch the videos on the Gilded Age in America (1865-1900) posted and take notes. You should post answers to the Thought Provokers on your blog. You will be graded on completion and eventually tested on the materials.
