!!!bonus work for everybody!!!


Students,

Read the short passage on the following website about why we learn history. React to it in a paragraph that explains whether you agree, disagree, don't care, etc and WHY. Feel free to ask parents or others what some of the terms mean and ask for help if needed. You may post your response as a comment (make sure your name is given) or email to daniel_mountain@butler.k12.pa.us if you don't want others to read it.


Remember, Learning history determines your future...
