Week of Feb. 17--21

Well SnowBirds...The wisdom teeth are out; though little wisdom was extracted, and we had a couple of snow days last week.  Hopefully you were responsible during the two days of class, and that you did as I expected you to do -- watch the videos and podcasts on the blog, because we are quickly ending the Civil War, taking a test on the war, and then Reconstructing the nation from 1865-1877.  From here, we will enter the Gilded Age, which was an age of EXTREME wealth...and poverty...

I will also show you how to do your Research Paper Outline...We have a busy week...
