September 16


You wrote your Unit 1 WRA II Essay today in class. If you missed class today, please make sure that you complete the essay during a prep, so you don't miss another class. If you missed the essay today, please type it up during your prep, but make sure that you don't put your name on it, use your ID #, put my name on the essay, use Times New Roman 12 point font, double space it and hand it in to my mailbox in the main office. We'll be moving on to Unit 2 material tomorrow.


We finished off the film "12 Years a Slave" today. I gave back your OPVL document analysis assignments on the Mexican-American War. I also started talking about the Causes of the Civil War.


We sorted out some homework check marks at the beginning of class, and then I gave you a work period to read Chapter 3 and work on the Chapter 3 Key Terms and Questions. The Chapter 3 Key Terms and Questions are due on Monday, September 21st. We're a day ahead of where we need to be, hence the work period. On Tuesday, September 22nd you'll be writing your Chapter 1-2 Test, please see the study guide below.
