Prayer:
US I -- Lizz Lawrie and Shannon Swift
US II -- Meg Reynolds and Renee Dupre
Honors -- Julie Sullivan
US I: this week we will have our first major exam on Tuesday. Your study/review should focus on the reasons why colonists came to North America, what was their early life like, and what factors shaped their early societies.
After the exam, we will begin looking at the coming American War for Independence. Two key questions to be pondered: (1) What was salutary neglect and why did it end? (2) Why is 1763 a turning point in the relationship between the colonies and England?
Make sure you have pages 61-77 completed by Thursday, Oct. 8.
US II: first, we will be focusing on several "isms" in the week ahead and through next week. Populism. Capitalism. Social Darwinism. Additionally, we will be examining the rise of industry and the resultant rise of labor movements. Key question to consider: were the leaders of the industrial world "Captains of Industry" or "Robber Barons"?
Honors: similar topics for US II sections, but also address the following question: When are monopolies good? - or are they always a negative force? Please comment here.
Make sure you have completed the Chapter 17 assignment by Oct. 8
