APUSH - Students finished most of their research today on their ante-bellum reform. Mr. Clark also demonstrated how to use the basics of the glog.
SS8 - Today we finished the presentations on the Civil War battles. Students then had time to work on their Civil War battle assessments.
The assessment is due:
Period 2 - Thursday
Period 8 & 9 - Friday
THIS WEEK'S TRIVIA:
The following is a letter written by President Abraham Lincoln:
I would save the Union. I would save it the shortest way under the Constitution. The sooner the national authority can be restored; the nearer the Union will be "the Union as it was." If there be those who would not save the Union, unless they could at the same time save slavery, I do not agree with them. If there be those who would not save the Union unless they could at the same time destroy slavery, I do not agree with them. My paramount object in this struggle is to save the Union, and is not either to save or to destroy slavery.
