October 2

I continued lecturing from the "American Civil War" PowerPoint lecture today. Additionally, we finished off Episode 4 of Ken Burns' The Civil War. We'll finish off Episode 5 tomorrow which deals with the Battle of Gettysburg in great detail. We'll continue on with the PowerPoint presentation tomorrow, as well as Episode 5. In all likelihood, we'll skip ahead to Episode 8 and 9 of The Civil War this week as well. That way, we might have a chance of finishing off the bulk of the content of the Civil War before the Thanksgiving long weekend.
You wrote your Thirteen Colonies Quiz at the beginning of class today. We started the film study of "The Patriot" today. We will continue this film tomorrow.
We had our first in-class debate today on the issue "Be it resolved that globalization is harmful to the world's cultures". You'll get the results tomorrow. You have your Unit 1 Final Exam tomorrow, please see the study guide here.
