#Davis8,  I am home sick, so I need y'all to do the following in class today (Monday, Aug. 29).  Please read through the Colonial Slavery Doc, watch the flicks, and answer the first 7 Q's in your notebooks.  The answers must be handwritten.  

If you turned in you notebook, please take it back and complete the work.  Some of your notebooks are behind my desk on the floor.  You may go back there and get them.  If you finish the Q's, you may work on other school work, but you may not play games on your computer.
