Must Keep worksheets are special assignments. Unlike your classwork and homework that is specific to a unit, Must Keep assignments will be revisited throughout the year. The goal of our class is to learn from the past and it is much easier to do that when we actually revisit our own past. For example, the theme you learn in unit 1 will be true for every unit later in the year. The events in unit 1 will impact the people we study in later units. By revisiting what we learned earlier in the year, must keep WORKSHEETs will help us find historical patterns that we can learn from to improve our modern world.
