This site works in conjunction with my 8th grade U.S. history class. We cover 20th Century U.S. history, current events, and the U.S. and Illinois constitutions. Homework can be viewed on the Middle School website.

Genocide In Darfur
As we have discussed in class, Genocide is not confined to the history books. It's happening right now in Darfur, a region of Sudan in Africa.
We've discussed what's happening there, watched a video on it, and most importantly talked about what students can do to make a difference.
We'll be taking more direction action fourth quarter but seeing this recent political cartoon shows that the issue is still on America's conscious--as it should be.
