Monday, October 15th

SS 8 -  Today we used the lab to allow students to view the videos on their battles and check their notes for accuracy and possibly to fill holes.  Tonight's HW is to COMPLETE all research for the glog.  Tomorrow, we start the glog.  The glog assignment is on my teacher page, linked on my blog and will be handed out in hard copy form to students.

APUSH -  Today students read opposing viewpoints on the Louisiana Purchase.  We will review those viewpoints tomorrow after the Key Terms quiz.  Unit Test will be Monday.


This week's Trivia:

There is a statistic used by historians to demonstrate how deadly the Civil War was for fighting soldiers.  Historians often refer to the Battle of Cold Harbor in stating how many men fell in a TWENTY minute period.  How many men fell at Cold Harbor in 20 minutes?  How many men is that in every second?  (2-part answer)

PRIZE - So far we have 18 entries for the Month of October.  The prize is dinner (at Generations) and a movie (at the Palace).  2 weeks left to get your name in the mix.  Good luck!
