Week of October 7
Last week we finished the study of the Civil War and Reconstruction.  Our final project was the reading of documents (13, 14, and 15 amendments; Black codes; Henry Adam's statement; photos of black legislators; Freedmen's bureau statement on education.)  The assessment of the reading was 3 paragraphs defending your stance on the question: "Were African-Americans free during Reconstruction?"

This week we will begin the post-war movement westward and the build up of business and industry in the cities.  There will be a quiz on the Civil War and Reconstruction.

Mon./Tue.  Read text book pages 74 - 82.  With a partner, create a character from the time period and occupation assigned by teacher (miner, farmer, rancher).  Create 5 questions for an interview of the character and then create the answers using your knowledge of the time period.  Be prepared to explain one question and answer in class.

Wed./Thur  Read textbook pages 83 - 87.  We will discuss and look closely at how American's migration westward affected the Native American population.  We will look closely at the Battle of Little Big Horn and compare documents sent to the government.
Quiz on Civil War and Reconstruction...Mon and Tue of next week.
