Monday morning you will have the C-Spann Classroom assignment I gave on Friday due. You will have either watched the live debate at 6pm PST Sunday night, listened to it or read the post-debate review on line afterwards to complete both portions. Fitz

The midterm grade window is open and your final grade will be Sunday night's debate.

Their are numerous media outlets: National Public Radio (89.9 or 89.3), CNN, all three networks or CNBC. Plus you can follow Twitter or Pacifica radio, KPFK at 90.7FM. Fill out the form you got in class or download another one from CNN classroom. It's due when you walk in. 

CH 6 Test (49 questions) on the rise of Labor and the Industrial era.

Today we read our first RLH documents in class so you must have printed them out beforehand to bring to class today. They will be on the Homestead Strike. You can either go directly to the SHEG (Reading Like a Historian) site to print them out or use the link I've attached here (you must convert them to a word doc to print). I have attached Word Compatible docs but they are the complete version, not the abridged.Therefore they are eleven pages. You can find shorter versions on-line of the same docs as they are in the public domain. I have also emailed them directly to you via Engrade. The rest is up to you, be ready for Tuesday and have them read and annotated over the next four days to answer the two question in class then. PS. I have even attached the questions if you want to do them ahead of time on the pdf. 

CH 5 test on The Westward Movement. Thirty questions.

CH 4 test on The Civil War, fifty questions (study the maps we covered in class).

We begin CH 5 today with a connection lesson to CH 4 and Reconstruction. During that era 1865-68 many tribal treaties were re-written to the detriment of the tribes, especially those who sided with the Confederacy or the two who owned slaves. See the attached jpg of the writing assignment we did in your CH 5 notes on Chief Gall's speech to the Union army.

CH 3 Test.

For today, Week III have Section 1 on The Jeffersonian Age read for class. Thanks. 

Our first chapter test (2) on the Revolutionary Era and The Constitution. 

We will watch over the next two Fridays an excellent film on how one person can make a difference. It's called "The Journey of August King" and is narrated by Maya Angelou. It's set in 1815 rural North Carolina and depicts yeoman farmers who don't own slaves vs. one wealthy one who owns many. In their midst is an escaped 17 yr. old who has run away and is either hunted for a huge bounty or helped by others.
