U.S. History / Mr. Norling

MOVIES / VIDEOS WE MAY WATCH IN CLASS:

Disclaimer: The following list is general. We will watch many of these videos, but not necessarily all of them. It is also possible that we will watch something not on this list, as the curriculum in U.S. History is fluid from year to year. For instance, we may watch something that is relevant to our National History Day theme, which changes every year. In addition, some videos are not watched in their entirety, depending on the relevance of the content and/or our classroom time limitations.

If you, at any time, have questions about videos we watch in U.S. History class, please contact me at norlingm@wvsd208.org!
