Sorry for the late update. This week's focus is Reconstruction. It will be the end of our Civil War Unit. There will likely be a unit test at the end of next week. Here is the schedule for this week.
Mon: Lincoln's Reconstruction HW: Reading Study Guide (RSG) 16.1
Tue: Johnson's Reconstruction HW: RSG 16.2
Wed: Freedman's Bureau No HW
Thursday: Congressional Reconstruction HW RSG 16.3
Fri: Social Reconstruction No HW
We are going to have a great week this week. Monday, students will be working on writing letters from the perspective of a person witnessing the Civil War. These will be based on photographs from the time period. They will write a rough draft on Monday. While we will begin it in class, many will need to do it for homework. Tuesday, we will share the letter with classmates and make suggestions for a final draft. We will begin the final draft Tuesday. Again it may be necessary for students to finish at home. Wednesday, our team will be going to the Civil Rights Museum in downtown Greensboro. In Social Studies we will watch a short film that studies the Impact of the sit-in movement. Thursday and Friday we will begin our discussion of The Reconstruction Period.
As always thank you for all you do,
Alan Schubert
We are continuing our discussion of the Civil War. There is homework Monday night; ch 15.3 in the Reading Study Guide. Thursday there is a quiz over all of ch 15. Please make sure your child is reviewing material for the quiz. Friday we will begin a small project where the students will write a paper from the perspective of someone in the Civil War. More details will follow on Friday.
Thanks for all you do,
Alan Schubert
