Endeavor Into Space

Tomorrow we will go visit the Shuttle Endeavor. Prepare to blast into an orbit of learning.

I know, I'm cheesy. Stick with me though, you will not regret it.

Spies, Berlin Wall, Spudnik, Star Wars, Music, and the Space Race

Today we discussed in class how the Cold War touched everything from culture to Economics. For those who want to revisit Tear for Fears from the beginning of the class I posted it here.

Remember: tomorrow you can bring popcorn and bottled water to class as we watch the move "The Right Stuff". Be ready to tune in and turn on those brains of yours.

Day 2

Today we started looking at the importance of history and how it applies to you.

Before we really get into the story of the World we need to find out why it's important to you.

Today's homework plays into that theme. Be prepared to talk about it in class tomorrow.
