Here are some of my favorite projects, assignments, and tests in history class.

Projects
This is one of my favorite history projects. For this assignment, we had to create a menu using only ingredients from either the Old World or New World. I was assigned the New World, and at first, I thought it'd be boring, but it turned out to be very fun. I used ingredients such as cranberries, blueberries, turkey, and sweet potato to create a drink, appetizer, entre, and dessert. I named my restaurant "Antinanco Cafe," which means "eagle of the sun" in Mapuche, a Native American tribe. |
For this project on the left, I was assigned to depict the Star Spangled Banner with only pictures. I drew images that I thought wuld be easy to understand and easily recognized. After drawing in all of the pictures, I decided to make it a flag because the Star Spangled Banner is the national anthem of the United States. Overall, I think it turned out nicely and I don't think I would change a thing. |

History Classwork
|
Most of my classwork is usually kept in a notebook I keep organized. At the end of each chapter, my history teacher usually collects our notebooks. In order to get full credit, you must have a cover page to introduce the chapter, a vocabulary log with all of the chapter's words, and all of the notes that needed to be taken at home and during class. To the left are a few pages from my history notebbok which include a variety of different assignments. |

Tests & Quizzes
At the beginning of the year, we were given an assesment that quizzed us on the United States's capitals of each state.
|
Above, is probably the most common quiz I take. Every time we are required to take notes on a lesson, we usually take a quiz on the content using the format above.
|
This is the usual format for a test that is taken after a chapter is completed.
