Ms. F's History Headquarters



Welcome to Ms. F's History Headquarters. I've created this page for my history students but everyone is welcome. You can use this site to find your weekly assignments, links to history sites, a recommended book list , tips on how to write a good paper, and contact information! Happy to have you in my class!

Each week you will be able to link to a different website that is related to the topic that we are discussing in class. This week we are studying the executive branch of the government. This week you will visit the White House Home Page. Take some time to explore the site; make sure you take the virtual White House tour. We will discuss it in class! Have a nice trip to The White House .
