Things to keep in mind...

• You will take the STAAR EOC exam at the end of the year. This exam will cover U.S. History from 1877-Present. For this reason, we will be slightly more U.S.-heavy in this course than normal.

• Your Extended Essay is a requirement for the IB Diploma. Start to think about a topic now (it does not necessarily have to be a historical topic, but it can be). Your EEs will be due in January 2015, but better to start early!
