Social Studies 8 - Today we finished the presentations.  Afterwards we started our discussion on the Civil War Era unit.  Our discussion focused on the Fugitive Slave Law as part of the Compromise of 1850.

Homework:  Read section III of Chapter 16 "The Crisis Deepens,"  page 468.

(Possible quiz on the reading)

APUSH - Today we discussed 1776 as a turning point in American History.  We focused our discussion on Thomas Paine's Common Sense and the Declaration of Independence.

We were listening to a reading (not complete) of the Declaration when the bell rang.  I have linked that reading below.
