Welcome to Ms. Eades' history forum!

Before we get started,there are a few rules for you to read.

Ms. Eades' Golden Rules of Blogssay Forum Writing:

1) Absolutely NO PROFANITY! This includes all common swear words, innuendo, racial slurs or links to profane websites. Do NOT post anything that Ms. Eades may find offensive.

6) Please stay on topic. I don't want to hear about where you got your nails did, what latest itune you just downloaded or why I should try Vikki's new lip gloss. Historical topics only!

Throughout the chapter, I will hand out primary sources to be discussed/analyzed within this forum. You are responsible for completing the each item below by the assigned due date.

1) EVERY student must post ONE independently written comment based on his/her interpretation of the primary source

2) EVERY student must post TWO comments in regards to other student interpretations.

3) I will post discussion questions each week related to the primary source. EVERY student must post ONE independently written comment regarding the discussion questions.

4) EVERY student must post TWO comments regarding other student comments about the discussion questions.

This should be treated as an open forum for discussion on historical anaylsis. During these forums, you will be discussing your interpretations of historical documents with your peers, as well as how the document fits into historical context.
