October 1

We went over the assigned homework for today from the IB 30/35 wiki which was "What was the Civil War about?" which dealt with the different perspectives of Jefferson Davis, Abraham Lincoln, and Frederick Douglass. We then continued watching Ken Burns' The Civil War Episode 2, and then got into Episode 3.
We spent most of today's preparing for tomorrow's debate. Don't forget that you have your Unit 1 Final Exam on Wednesday, please see the study guide here.
I did a homework check on the homework out of the History of the Americas textbook on Thomas Paine's Common Sense and the Declaration of Independence. We finished off the "Revolution" episode of "America: The Story of Us", and then went into a video from the United States History series called "The American Revolution".
