Welcome to Avenues: The World School and History/Humanities 8! This is a fun homework blog that will contain student-friendly posts with information about homework and classwork. You can still consult the official school website at Avenuesnyc.org and iTunesU, where I will upload documents. However, I hope this will help you see what you need more clearly for classwork each day....besides, you can feed the fish! -- Ms. Allen

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.
