As the very few of you who visit the blog have no doubt noticed, I have stopped posting assignments and updates here. I will be shutting down the blog for the remainder of the school year.
The reason for this is very simple: nobody is using it. At least not enough people are using it to justify the effort it takes to keep it up. I have a counter on the blog and I am averaging less than two visits to the site per day. Frankly, students are not using it as a resource and neither are any parents. The amount of time I spend updating it is no longer validated by the amount of good it is doing students/parents.
If you need to contact me for any reason, please email me at michael.mayes@killeenisd.org
Thank you.

Finishing Up Chapter 12, The Holocaust Letter
Today we finished up Chapter 12 which covered Western Europe. While we discussed events going back to Medieval times, I stressed the events of World War I and World War II strongly. I gave particular emphasis to the Holocaust. In fact, in lieu of a standard test over Chapter 12, I have assigned the students another project that will count as their Summative grade for the Chapter (see instructions below). I have also provided a link to a short Holocaust documentary we watched in class that may be helpful to students as they complete this assignment.
