Opening Day 2007- 2008


Welcome to 7-1 Social Studies with Mr. Kannan. As we begin our journey on Tuesday, 8/28, check back on this page for insights about where we are, where we are going, and where we have been. Feel free to answer the poll question of the week, or examine some of the relevant news stories. Each week, you will find a new quotation at the bottom of this page. For extra credit, find out who said or wrote the quote and include both at the top of this week's syllabus. The purpose of this blog is to invite discussion on the content of the class and the ideas. It will also serve as a forum for stakeholders in the 7-1 Social Studies experience to share insights.
In terms of items for this week (8/28- 8/31), we will start by examining the rules of the road for 7-1 Social Studies and then progress into the domain of the Social Studies textbook via scavenger hunt. As we conclude the week, we will commence our exploration of American Identity with Jamestown and Plymouth, and examine the emergence of colonial culture. I invite you to visit the district website and look under the "Staff" links for my webpage where you will find pdf versions of all course handouts.

Welcome to 7-1 Social Studies!
This will be fun... or something like that.
All best.
Mr. Kannan
