Vocabulary Due Tomorrow, Chapter 1 Quiz on Friday

The vocabulary assignment for Chapter 1 is due tomorrow at the beginning of the period. The terms and instructions can be found in the post dated 8-30-16 (This assignment does not apply to the TAG/PAP classes).

In class, we continued our discussion on important geographical and historical terms to know. Topics included relative and absolute location, relative and absolute chronology, urban vs. rural, etc. Below are a couple of short videos that talk about a couple of these topics.

Watch these short videos with your student and make sure they understand the terms in question.

TAG/PAP - No homework tonight other than to become familiar with and be able to use the terms above correctly. We will start a different assignment in class tomorrow.

Welcome to Texas History 2016-17

Welcome to Coach Mayes’s 7^th grade Texas History blog. This is the spot to find out exactly what we are up to in class, see what your student missed if they had to be absent, download important forms, etc. 

I look forward to working with your student this year. If you ever have any questions, you can contact me at Michael.mayes@killeenisd.org or by calling the school at 254-336-1100. I will get back to you within 24 hours.

Below is a copy of my classroom policies and procedures sheet. This should have come home with your child the first week of school, been signed by the parent/guardian and returned to me. If this has not yet occurred, please print a copy, sign the second page and have your student return it to me.
