成績が提供されます

STUDENTS NEED THEIR OWN COPY OF THE TEXT.  We will be using Howard Zinn's "A Young People's History of the United States".  We will be using the SINGLE BOOK version which has some additional pages here and there.  Please be mindful that this is the YOUNG PEOPLE'S edition of the book and therefore skips some topics (ie: Salem witch trials).  The reading is relatively light but the discussion is more mature.
