With most students away for a field trip, the remainder had an opportunity to work on Discourse.  The DBQ will be written on Tuesday.  The topic will be Antebellum Reform Movements.

Students may see their unit 2 DBQs on Turnitin.com.  All scores and comments will be available by the end of the day.  Also, don’t forget to look at the peer reviews we did earlier.

Don’t forget the review questions at theTestingCenter.com! So far, only 5 of you have even logged in!

I talked for most of the period about the Nullification Crisis (podcast coming soon).  The data for the Cotton Kingdom podcast was lost in an application crash, so don’t hold your breath waiting for that one.

Students have a work day to catch up in Discourse.  Make good use of this time, since you likely won’t have much class time next week to work on this.

Don’t forget to be reviewing the online test bank questions at The Testing Center.

Happy Veteran’s Day!  Please take a moment sometime today to reflect on the contributions made by members of our uniformed services, past and present.

Students took the chapter 13, 14 vocab quiz.  After completing the quiz, 4th hour continued with student presentations.  Hours 3 and 5 worked in Discourse for unit 3.

My apologies to hour 3!  The sub unwittingly shut down the computer that serves Discourse.  I will try to give you more class time to work later.

Unit 3 presentations:
