About Me

My photo
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.

Military Advancements ~ Week 20

Sample Student Post:

I enjoyed learning about the phalanx, developed by Philip II of Macedonia. Unfortunately the textbook only gave about 2 paragraphs of information about military formations, so I've tracked down more information:

Philip II of Macedonia

Detailed Warfare Information

History of the Phalanx

After reading this information, explain why Philip's development of the Phalanx was such an important military improvement.
