We started class today by going over last week's Period 4/5 test.  Hopefully, you are continuing to develop a process to approach these questions.

We then discussed the second half of Chapter 24.  The Chapter 25 Guided Reading was handed out.  Pages 539-564 should be read by Monday.  Tonight you should work on Friday's LEQ.  That January grind keeps rolling on.  :)

Today's class started with document analysis from the Civil War/Reconstruction review.  It seems that people are starting to put the pieces together more effectively.

We then reviewed Periods 4 and 5 in preparation for tomorrow's test.  I've included below a sheet that summarizes the political parties through the 19th century if that is something you need help with.
