Welcome to Parkview's Discussion Board Blog! The place to interact with the instructor and classmates to discuss important events in our nation's history. To begin our blog it is important to know the expectations and rules.

All postings titles will be marked by the school month and school week and due date. For example, this is the first week posting for month 2, and the title is "2.1 Introduction due 10/2" 


You are required to make 2 posts on the discussion board every week. The first post is your response to the questions posted. The work is to be your own, plagiarism will result in a failing grade. The second response is a comment to a classmates post.


Due date: Discussion Board responses are due by Friday of the week of the posting. 


Grades: Discussion Board participation is 10% of your grade. You will get credit for your participation and will be marked down for posting late. Failure to post will earn a grade of a "0" for the week.


Study Guide: Each discussion board question is related to question on the final. Students who complete each posting do better on the final. A more detailed study guide will be provided a few weeks before the final.


Finals: Mid January.  The finals will be multiple choice questions based on the textbook and discussion board. A study guide will be posted to help you prepare for the final.

Important record keeping notice: Please copy every post you submit, save to a document, label the month and week, and turn in with your monthly turn in work to your Parkview teacher for credit. You are responsible to complete on average 4 posts a month. Your participation is part of your history grade.
