Welcome Everybody!

I hope this site will be useful to you. There are pages for each of the courses I teach. There you can find information about the policies, procedures, guidelines and expectations of the class, recent assignments and upcoming events, projects and tests. Please be sure to check the bottom of the page to see when I last updated it, I may change due dates etc. without posting them here. It's important to remember that what is communicated in class is the final word, not the website, but the website hopefully will offer some help.

What's Here....

• Links to sites for US History 9 and US History 9 TAG - check out what we're up to.
• Summer reading information for incoming students to US History TAG for the 2008-9 school year.
• The Arts & Ideas and the Arts & Philosophy Resources pages are still under development- be patient with me. I have lots to add, but probably will do so very slowly, as time permits.
• New! Ms. Hotz's History Forum
• Ever wondered where Ms. Hotz gets her Current Events? Take a look the News Sources page!
• I've got the Election 2008 page up too - for info about the presidential election process and candidates.
• The Using the Internet pages are important ones - don't forget to be careful of your sources!
• For those of you that are politically opinionated and even those of you who aren't, check out the government section.
• The US History links sections need a bit of updating. I checked my links pretty recently, but have a number of things to add - particularly in some of the US unit sections. Feel free to poke around, let me know if there are any problems or suggestions by emailing me.
