Classes,

I am in New York City for the Nike High School Indoor Nationals as I am sure many of y'all know.  This is what I expect of you while I am gone...

ALL Classes need to watch the following video that is me "talking" about the Civil War and instructing you to read the last parts of the Civil War Unit Doc.  You must read the remainder of the Civil War Doc & answer the following Q's for a HW grade.  These Q's are due by the end of the class period Monday.  Please answer the Q's in your notebook & submit them.  No typing at all.  ALL of you...Handwritten.  ALL of you.

Answer these Q's in your notebooks...Watch the flicks...Seriously....Watch them.  I don't put them in there so you can skip them...
