Remember, Ms. Q is concerned with improvement, not immediate perfection.

Also, remember, we have 9 weeks to continue growing and learning together until Winter Break.

So, here’s a quick run down of the upcoming unit:

  • The Unit 4 Exam will be November 14 & 15.
  • We will cover approximately 133 pages of the textbook.
  • We will cover chapters 13-17 from American Pageant.
  • We will cover the growing of America westward, Jacksonian Democracy, the Mexican War, societal reform, and the reasons we eventually end up in a Civil War.

We now have a class set of the AMSCO book that will make understanding the units a whole lot simpler–if you would like to check one out–see Ms. Q ASAP before they are all gone!

We will be changing how we do the daily review of each night’s homework AND how we do ID Notes. Each day, I will give you something that looks like this:

Tonight’s Homework (read pgs. 272-280)
CORRUPT BARGAIN
1. What was the corrupt bargain?
2. Why was it referred to as being corrupt?
3. Was the bargain corrupt? Why or why not?
4. Who was involved and how?

“OLD HICKORY”
1. Who is this term referring to? Why?
2. What were this person’s political beliefs?

As you can see, I am guiding your reading a bit more. You will go home, answer the questions (again, keeping in mind that the more RELEVANT information you have the better), and come to class the next day, take the quiz, using the notes (answers to the questions), and then I will ask if anyone has questions about any of the answers.

We will test this out for Unit 4 and see where we go from there.

P.S. Another 5 extra credit points to anyone who posts a comment here by Friday, October 19th. (BTW, you must sign up to comment here, so you need a valid email address)
