due Thursday, March 1 - Sections C, D, and F due Friday, March 2 - Section E Read the selection about General William T. Sherman and use the text to answer the multiple choice questions. Don't be fooled by the fact that they are multiple choice! Many of the options are true facts that are mentioned in the reading, but do not directly answer the question or are not directly related to the reading.

due Wednesday, February 14 - Sections E & F Thursday February, 15 - Section D due Friday, February 15 - Section C (because I forgot to assign it on Wednesday) Read chapter 22.1-2 from the History Alive! text. This is the orange text book that we have in the classroom, but you do not have your own copy. I gave you a photocopy of these pages along with the guided notes that you need to complete with the reading. Both are attached below.
due Tuesday, February 20th by 3:15 - all sections The second of the two assessments for the Civil War unit is a timeline you need to make yourself. Please, use the text book to identify your events. The internet is vast and the Civil War is the most written about period of US history. I suggest having your 20 events selected (even better if they are summarized with dates and location) by Friday -- Thursday for Section F -- because we will have some class time to work on the timelines. If your events are selected, I will help folks who would like assistance with the relative spacing (getting all the years and months correctly spaced) on your paper. Below is the assignment and rubric used to grade your timelines. There will be other homework over the course of this week, so please plan your time wisely.
due Thursday, February 8 - Section F due Friday, February 9 - Sections C & E Section D will be completing this in their Friday block; it is not homework You have received a chart that has the popular vote broken down by state for the election of 1860. Using that chart, decide which color will represent each of the 4 candidates for President in the key. Then color code each state to show which candidate won the state. (You do not need to label the states, since you have them labeled on your other map. However, feel free to label them if you find that helpful.)
due Wednesday, February 7 - Sections E & F due Thursday, February 8 - Sections C & D We talked a bit about the Dred Scott case in class. For homework, you were given a handout with two excerpts from the majority decision (the side that won) on one side and two excerpts from the dissenting opinion (the reasons why the side that lost refused to go along with everyone else) on the other. For homework, you need to analyze, or pull apart, one of the decisions. Look up the words you don't know, underline and ask about phrases that seem weird, and try to summarize the decision of Taney (majority) or Curtis (dissenting) in each excerpt in one crafty sentence. Both of the first excerpts are about the same topic and both of the second excerpts are about a different aspect of the case.
due Tuesday, February 6 - Sections E & F due Wednesday, February 7 - Sections C & D We started a mapping activity in class that uses your textbook and a map of the United States. Your homework is to finish this assignment. Remember, this is an exercise in following directions. The instructions even tell you which pages of the book you need to use. There is one that is difficult and will take some reading. It is marked on the instructions.
due Monday, February 5 - Sections C, D, & E due Tuesday, February 6 - Section F Read the handout about the Compromise of 1850 and write your answers to the prompts at the end. Answers do not need to be in complete sentences.
