US History Bits & Pieces

• Each US II student must complete their outside reading by Nov. 3. Please pay attention to that task! Both stories - The Jungle and The Alienist - are startling in many ways, so no matter which you select to read, you will find iteasy to read and follow. However, you must get moving on that assignment. We hope to be at the Progressive Era in our course by that time, so the readings will be very timely. And pay attention to the assignment that must be completed please.
• Election activities - both Honors sections are working on campaign materials for their respective candidates, and my other US II class is concentrating on the 3 referendum questions on the Mass. ballot. I know a lot of thought and effort has been put into this so far, but be aware of the particulars of each assignment. Most groups have multiple tasks to complete. These are all to be 'ready' by Friday, Oct. 17.
• US II course work:
• Honors - get chapters 18 completed by next week, and chapter 19 the week after.
• US II - you should have completed chapter 9 now and move on to chapter 10 assignments.
• Research Paper assignment will be given immediately after Election acativities are completed. You will have 3 weeks to complete your 3-5 page paper.
• US I coursework:
• Complete American Revolution chapter by end of this week (pages 78-93).
• Test on American Revolution next Friday
• Research Paper assignment will be given last week of October. You will have about 3-4 weeks to complete a 2-4 page paper.
