US History 2: Mrs. S Pliska

"It is a miracle that curiosity survives formal education" Albert Einstein

 

 

Welcome to Stephanie Pliska's US History 2 web site and class room enhancer. US history 2 covers the time span in the United States from the progressive era until current times. The common notion for many students is that history is BORING. Well , personally, I feel that history not only allows a student to explore ancient and past experiences but to ask why? how? and are you kiddin? when learning new facts. This website is designed to allow students to download classroom notes, explore interesting links for research and project help and enhance the learning experience.
