Foundations of the American Republic Unit 1

Welcome to US History, it's great to have you in class.  My name is Mr. Ellsberg and I will be your Instructor for this class for the 2011-12 school year.  A little about me I am from Astoria, Oregon, I went to the University of Oregon, and also studied abroad in Barcelona, Es. I have worked here at the Web Academy since it's inception in 2009.  I like:
The Outdoors
Travel
Food
Fitness
Books
Enough about me though!  On to your first chapter's assignment for Geography.  Your job is to complete the following by entering the information in the box below the assignment in Odysseyware.
A)  Who is your instructor for this class and what is his phone/email?
B)  How did your family get to the United States?  Did they take more than one journey to get to America (ask your parents, and if possible your grandparents)?
C)  Finally watch the videos below which depict a different story of discovery to the "New World" and say a few things about how that might change a students view of US and American History.
