Hello and welcome to Mr. Choquette's U.S. History website! I will be posting various resources to aide you in your learning.
In keeping with the IB Program's student learning goals this course is intended to increase student’s global perspectives and historical understanding of the world. This course will focus on the aims and objectives of the IB program and is writing and reading intensive. Students will be expected to independently work towards an understanding of history through Historiography or investigation and consideration of different historian’s perspectives. Students will sharpen their writing skills through the completion of various writing assignments; developing their revision skills and formal documentation skills.
