Today's class was spent discussing the Reconstruction article, revisiting POV, and then we started notes on the Gilded Age, which is part of Period 6 (1865-1898). I've included a copy of the PowerPoint we started today and a PDF of the Reconstruction DBQ below. Also, instead of having two short answer questions tomorrow, we will have a very short (8 questions) stimulus based multiple choice quiz tomorrow over Reconstruction.
Today's class was spent working on document analysis from a prior DBQ on Reconstruction. Emphasis was placed on practicing blind analysis, and developing one of the four types of analysis (POV, historical context, purpose or audience).
Remember that the article needs to be finished by tomorrow. The majority of class time today was spend writing the third Long Essay of the year. Remaining class time was spent on assigned Reconstruction readings. For Monday, the assigned pages are 465-475 and the article needs to be done by next Wednesday. For the article, you do not need to do the questions, we will have two Type 2's over the article next Wednesday.
Today in class we went over yesterday's multiple choice test, started taking notes for Reconstruction, and had some work time for tomorrow's Long Essay. Remember, for tomorrow's essay, you need to consider the issues that were debated regarding slavery. These include the following:

There are no pages assigned for tonight, but make sure you have the chapter finished by Monday. At the beginning of class, all graded papers were handed back. Everything has been graded, make sure you make up needed assignments if you were gone at all the week before break.
After two Type 2's over the reading from break, students made a chart in their notes comparing the mobilization efforts of the North and South at the outset of the Civil War. We then watched the Lincoln's segment from The Presidents video series for an overview of the time period. Tonight's reading homework is 438-443 |
