The 1990's

     Politics in the 90's were dominated by Bill Clinton, or should I say William Jefferson Blythe IV? Clinton had many successes but also many failures. His presidency was fraught with misconduct, cover-ups, lying under oath, and an impeachment acquittal. He did accomplish some good for our country, but his questionable deeds took spotlight in his second term.

     The 90's also saw a dramatic increase in the use of computer in everyday life. The popularity of computers came from it's ability to perform many different functions. The first browser introduced was unveiled in 1991 and was called the World Wide Web. Companies, government agencies, organizations, and even individuals created web sites or web pages for the first time. Today the internet offers over 2 billion websites! Can you imagine life without it?

     How did you enjoy the American History version of Jeopardy? It was harder then you thought, right? I love the team work I saw as you tried to answer the questions. That was fun!

     We only have 2 classes left! Next week is our last week discussing the book! Wow! I can hardly believe it! Don't slack off! You MUST read this last unit. I am quizzing you on what you know next week. You have been warned!
     You also need to bring your completed timeline. Rod brought up a great idea with making the timeline not a book. You are welcome to do that. It can either be on a poster board or in a binder. Just make sure you have key points (wars, major events in the U.S., influential people or events, etc...), and make it colorful. We will be displaying them at the last class with your project.

Homework:
1. READ unit 30!!!!
2. Finish up Timeline
3. Continue working on your final project

Have a great week!
