To start out next year, they will do much the same as what you guys did in 2007-2008. I usually mix things up a bit just so I don't get bored teaching the same thing for 6 or 7 classes each school day in each year, year after year after year, but in general I think next year will run about the same. So... to start the year we will do our "Intro to History" unit. Remember these questions:
 * What is history? History is a point-of-view and we all see it a little differently.
 * Also, why study history? To understand ourselves, our culture, our ancestors, to not repeat the mistakes of the past.
 * What is cause and effect, primary and secondary sources, etc...
 * Then we will do Utah geography...maps of Utah, the 3 regions of Utah, Utah's dry climate, etc.
 * Then we will do Utah geology. Millions of years of time studied in a few days! Dinosaurs, trilobites, mountains forming, earthquakes, Ice Ages, Lake Bonneville, wooly mammoths, etc.
