Honors United States History II 4th Quarter Project For the 4th quarter all three of my US History II classes will be working on a collaborative project called Project 2000. The Project: Each team will pick a topic that has happened from the year 2000 up to and including the present that the team believes will be found in an United States History textbook 30 years in the future.
