October 26-30

BOO!

Okay, it's that time of year, time to get silly & scary & crazy kooky. Let's make sure your fun is in the right place and right time, and of course, always in good taste and safe for everyone.
Also, I want to thank everyone for their prayers for Mrs. S and your cooperation while I was out. It has been a very serious process for my wife and myself, and your prayers and thoughts and patience and cooperation have made it much easier for me. I thank you all very sincerely.
Prayer this week:
US I: Cara Murphy, Amy Gaeta
US II: Catherine Flaherty, Nicole Trifone
Honors: Jess McCabe
US I: as we approach the War for Independence, let's develop a growing awareness of the issues: taxation, natural rights, a genuine sense of independence, and the role the Enlightenment played in all this. You also want to draft a personal statement about the causes of the revolution, especially one where you prioritze that causes.
US II: We will focus this week on the labor issues. What were the goals of the labor organizers? What were the objections of the owners to labor organizations? Why did labor unions not gain widespread acceptance in American society?
Honors: same issues as US II and please a "Bill of Rights" for workers of the world.
REMINDER!!!! All US II and US II Honors students Due November 1...
The Jungle by Upton Sinclair or The Alienist by Caleb Carr. You must have the book of your choice read by our first class in November.
