This week all classes will be looking to analyze the cause(s) for significant events/developments in our history. When we look at history, it is most important to look at the causes of events more than the event(s) themselves. Many students lose interest in the study of history because they see it as simply a list of dates, events, and names. One needs to see it the study of history as an investigation, as a problem solving exercise, as a mystery to be solved.
And so...
US I: Why did the colonies rebel? Why did the British treat the colonies as they did? Were they justified in that treatment/policy? Were the colonists justified in rebelling? And a very significant question: just what was this 'no taxation without representation' cry all about?
Make sure you understand the terms salutary neglect, virtual representation, Committees of Correspondence, and Continental Congress.
The DBQ you looked at on Thursday will be examined closely this week. And a quiz is very likely sometime soon.
US II and Honors: some issues to ponder...
Robber Barons or Captains of Industry?
Are you a Social Darwinist?
Labor Unions - good or bad?
Be able to construct a list of the benefits of this industrialization of America, and a list of the harmful effects as well.
The Jungle and The Alienist? Are you reading one of these? You must be done by November 1, so you have 2 weeks left. Do not save this until the very last please.
Prayer:
US I --- Katelyn Sullivan and Cara Ciardelli
US II --- Stephanie Ayers and Danielle Quinn
Honors --- Olivia Kajencki
