WELCOME!

This blog was created by Mr. Jolicoeur and Mr. Bujold to help communicate more effectively with students and parents this year in Comprehensive American Studies II. We will be blogging daily with the class agenda, links to assignments, and links to interesting and informative topics that we see on the internet. You will notice there are two additional tabs: "Unit Handouts" and "Resources." These will provide ample support as we journey through the year.

Here is our class expectations sheet.

What does it mean to be an "American"?

The answer to this question is not simple, and has many layers. This is our "Essential Question" for the entire year.

Let's brainstorm!

• What makes up the American Identity? 
• What defines American? 
• What do Americans want? 
• What words, thoughts, opinions, or even images that come to mind when we think of the “American Identity”?
