Tuesday, October 2nd

APUSH - Today we read three essay responses to the 2009 FRQ that students completed yesterday.  After we reviewed the rubric and read the sample essays students read their own essays and graded them.  Tomorrow we will start with the Articles of Confederation, America's first government.

SS8 - Today students took a short quiz.  We then discussed the two major topics of MANIFEST DESTINY & THE SLAVERY QUESTION.  We looked at paintings and different documents in trying to understand how America's expansion and the uncertainty of slavery's expansion created a tension between the North (free states) and South (slave states).

Tonight's HW - Read Section IV of Chapter 16 "The Republican Party Emerges."
