Homework due Tuesday, 1/8

1. Organize a CIVIL WAR NOTEBOOK. It can be a section in your binder or a separate notebook. Put the notes we took today into the beginning of that notebook and bring it to class with you everyday.

2. Read WAR, TERRIBLE WAR (Henceforth, WTW), pp. 5-13. For these pages, and all subsequent assignments, do the following:

First, make three post-its for each chapter (or section in AMERICAN JOURNEY). They could be questions, comments, or pointing out of a good quote or idea.

Second, copy out in your notebook a good quotation (and the source), preferably a primary source or another historian. You can use excerpts by placing ellipses in the passages.

Third, write a title for your chapter. In a complete sentence, write the MAIN IDEA for the chapter. Finally, write three details.

NOTE: If you haven't already done so, turn in your photo permission slip for the Newcomers film.
