October 12

You wrote your Civil War and Reconstruction Test today. You'll write the second part of this exam on Monday when you write your in-class document analysis assignment. You have a Paper 3 on Tuesday, so please check out the PowerPoint that I posted on the wiki which gives you some advice on writing a Paper 3 on the Civil War and Reconstruction. Check out the historiography documents on the wiki as well.

We did an activity based around the story "The Rabbits". This book addresses some of the themes that we'll be looking at Unit 2, such as cultural contact, assimilation, imperialism, differing world views, and residential schools. We spent a fair bit of time looking at the symbolism in the book and some of the themes that the book introduces. Your Chapter 7 Key Terms and Questions are due on Monday.


We finished our constitutional convention today. Unfortunately we didn't have time to get to all of the agenda items. We'll be examining the U.S. Constitution some more on Monday, and I'll teach you how to write a Paper 1 as well. On Tuesday, you'll be writing a Paper 1 on the American Revolution. You'll also be having an American Revolution Test next week as well.
