US History II Honors

       This year as a sophomore I take US History II, which is taught by Dr. Minocci. Throughout the course of this year I expect to continue learning about American History, spanning from the Cold War to modern day. From the first two weeks of this class I noticed Dr. 

 Minocci  teaches quickly, but in an interesting way. Not only does he give us a Do Now, but he also gives a funny Do Now, which is a joke or a riddle.

       
       One of my favorite parts of Dr. Minocci's class is that he keeps it moving and makes jokes. I normally do not enjoy history classes, however Dr. Minocci makes history a much more fun and interesting class. Many times in history the teacher moves slow and the class becomes very boring and monotonous however, Dr. Minocci keeps everyone focused by jumping to different topics and taking comments from all the students in the class. 

        Dr. Minocci uses technology each day; some days he shows PowerPoints from the projector, and other days he refers to the online textbook to teach. Many of the students also have used technology in order to complete the summer assignment. Other than US History II Honors, Dr. Minocci also teaches AP US History, Economics, Current Issues, and Law. Dr. Minocci has basic class expectations and requirements including showing others respect, completing the work given, coming to class, and more which can be found on his website here.
