For Friday. You can use the study calendar:

Read War, Terrible War (WTW), pp. 3-16. Add a post-it with a comment, observation, question, or exclamation every 3 pages.

Read Mastering U.S. History (MUSH -- new black workbook), pp. 82-86. Answer any questions in the book. You might "study" by highlighting important information. It's your book to keep.

HW due Wed., 1/6

Read pp. 31-49 in OH, FREEDOM!

This time, write three more "textbook" style questions for the pages you read.

Tomorrow in class, we will discuss the two sections you read. Then we will go back to the past...and begin looking at the Civil War.

HW due Tue., 1/5

1. Choose, "cut," and be familiar with your proposal/choice for the MLK Convocation. Be ready in class tomorrow morning at 8:30.

2. Using the book, OH, FREEDOM!, read the intro. to civil rights, pp. 2-11. It's easy. Then, do these things:
-- write one question like a textbook
-- say what the "Jim Crow" laws are
-- write the contents for a protest sign based on the reading. (If you were going to protest against something going on back then, what would you say?)

"That was easy."

We will have extra Life Awareness classes next week -- a bunch -- so we can finish our presentations about juvenile rights.
