• It is also required that you cover your book by 8/5 and email me a photo of your covered book. Extra points for creativity - of both cover and photo! If you don't want to buy a cover, here's a video to show you how to make one.

And for your viewing pleasure:

• A great overview site of Period 1: 1491-1607
• History v. Christopher Columbus - what's your opinion?
• And why were Europeans able to so easily conquer Native American civilizations? Were Europeans just lucky? And Native Americans very, very unlucky? This video provides a very interesting theory to answer these questions.

7/23 - Textbook Update!

Hi Everyone,

I hope you are enjoying summer.

The textbooks have arrived. However, they are still in boxes in my classroom. Early next week I will be going to TA to unpack them, number them, and set them up for pick up.

They will be available for pick-up starting next Wednesday 7/29.

I will send an email and post here about where/how to pick them up.

Until then, try to contain your excitement. Tell you friends!

- Mr. Parise
