Today we examined the presidency of Theodore Roosevelt, and briefly discussed Howard Taft. This PPT fills in some missing gaps for our America as a world power unit and build a bridge into our next unit 'progressive era'.

Students,
Today we finished up immigrant city life talking about political machines and the education of African Americans.
LINK to PPT: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_Br2RBwz0R7UmQ1djFWTWFiUFU/view?usp=sharing (if it whoops' then Down load it and it will work fine)
We then transitioned into a larger discussion about equality and the Plessy v. Ferguson court case that establishes the idea of separate but equal in the United States and in a way institutionalizes racism. If you are out today you will have to come see me for a copy of the assignment as I do not have a digital copy of what we worked on in class.
Finally your test is tomorrow:

Students,
Today and yesterday we looked at the Second industrial revolution. I would like to take time here on the blog to reiterate that Westward Expansion notes and Second Industrial Revolution notes take place during the same time period. One focuses on the West and the other on the East. That does not mean that they do not influence one another, and if you look you can find hints of each within the other. If you were out, check out the PPT below!

Students,
Today I tried to impress upon you the importance of the upcoming semester, the STAAR test is required for you to graduate and we have half the time to cover the same amount of material as your regular classmates. You will have to work hard and put in more independent effort over the next few months to make sure you succeed.
In addition, we took a look back at the Transcontinental railroad via Ken Burns Documentary The West: Episode 5 the greatest enterprise under god. This highlights the challenges and motivations behind creating on of the greatest technological wonders of the 19th century.
The immigrants / poor it employed
the Buffalo slaughtered
the natives displaced
the corruption within the private and public sectors
all have a major impact on the trajectory of American life, by setting the stage for the 20th century and ushering us into an age of technological wonders.
Absentees and those present: make sure you take a crash course on westward expansion below.
