Students,

Dual Credit - your final papers were due today. Overall I am relatively happy with the amount of students that turned them in. If you haven't remember that this research paper is part of your final and will account for 10% of your semester grade. get it to me.

AP - we practiced some DBQ writing again today. Source analysis and creating an argument based on a "to what extent" question. We will continue this practice tomorrow.

Students,

Today we finished our discussion on Reconstruction PPT below.

This concluded our unit on the Civil war and Reconstruction, and we dove right into our review during class. I listened to your pleas and your cries, and at least for our last test I have crafted a review that, in addition to vocabulary, asks you questions that you should be prepared to answer. Hopefully this provides you with a better chance at this test.

December 2nd, 2014

Students,

Today we began to wrap our minds around the problem of reconstruction. How can you re-incorporate half of the country in such a way that people are willing to live with each other side by side. How can people who have been fighting against each other for the past 4 years see eye to eye on anything?

If you were gone, you will need to come talk to me to discuss what you have missed.

December 1st, 2014

Students,

Today we revisited the civil war to make sure the important bits didn't leave you during the break. We examined six major events and placed them on a scale of importance. the six events in no particular order are:

1st battle of bull run
Antietam
Gettysburg / Vicksburg
Capture of Atlanta
Election of 1864
Death of Stonewall Jackson

If you were not here today research these six events (most of them are in your notes). Place this new information on Cornell notes #11.

REMINDERS

Semester ends on December 19th, are you ready?

Dual Credit, your final papers are Due December 8th.
