Sample Student Post:
It has been interesting to see how the Etruscans borrowed the alphabet and some of the gods from the Greeks. It's starting to look like one culture just "borrows" stuff from another culture over and over again throughout history. Here are a few examples of things Amercian culture has borrowed from other cultures:
Language (words from Latin, French, Greek, or Spanish)
Foods (from Italy, China, or Mexico)
Holiday Traditions (such as the Christmas Tree from Germany)
Use the following internet search engines and/or information sources to find your own example of something American culture has borrowed from another culture and describe it here.

About Me
- Mr. Hammock
- I’m excited to welcome our 7th graders to a year of explorations in world history. Our studies will range over many regions and periods of time, with a focus on the Egyptians and Medieval Period. My own history includes nine years of teaching grades 7 & 8. I have a Bachelors Degree in Middle School Social Studies & Math, a Masters Degree in Educational Leadership, and a Specialists Degree in Educational Technology, all through MIZZOU. I love spending time with family & friends, reading, watching movies, playing with my two yorkies, Triton & Ariel, and my toy poodle, Jasmine.
