U.S.I+History+Honors

Students entering US I Honors are required to read __The Name of War: King Philip’s War and the Origins of American Identity__, by Jill Lepore, prior to the start of school. This 1998 non-fiction book is a study of King Philips’ War of 1675, which defines the geographical, political, cultural and racial boundaries between the English colonists and the New England Native Americans. An assessment on the book will be given in the first week of school. As such, it is suggested that students take notes as they read.
