Thursday, September 27th

APUSH - Today students presented on their Revolutionary Era topics surrounding the theme of Colonial Unity.  Tomorrow is the Unit II Test on Chapters 7-8 - "Revolutionary Era."  Unit II Hippocampus is due tomorrow.

APUSHers, Excellent job today!

To encourage students to check out my blog here is question #13 (lucky 13) on tomorrow's test:


13. According to the Proclamation of 1763,           
(A)  colonial militiamen were required to put down Pontiac’s Rebellion
(B)  colonial paper money could not be printed
(C)  contact between colonials and Indians was strictly forbidden
(D)  settlers were prohibited from crossing the Appalachians
(E)   speculators were allowed to purchase certain lands from trans-Mississippi tribes


SS8 - We started our study of the Civil War Era today.  We started the class by working on the skill of categorizing our knowledge of a particular topic.  This skill is essential for a student who is preparing to write an essay.

We then handed out an assignment that will be ongoing during this unit of study dealing with the Legacy of Slavery.  This assignment requires students to find EVIDENCE and CATEGORIZE that evidence.  Mrs. Carlisto will also use this assignment as her ELA classes read Gary Paulsen's Nightjohn.

We watched a clip of PBS' Civil War dealing with slavery (4 minutes 30 seconds) "All Night Forever."  We used that clip to start the Legacy of Slavery assignment.

Student/Athletes on the road competing - You can access the Slavery Legacy assignment here:  


You can watch the PBS' clip (if possible) here:
