WELCOME BACK! EID MUBARAK!
I hope you all are well rested, well-fed, and well-slept because we have a short and busy week in front of us!
Please note: if you have not done your Unit 5 Wrap Up, you will be taking the test tomorrow. This is summative and very important for you to complete ASAP! If you haven’t already taken a look (which you should have done because you have known about this Unit Wrap Up for the last week and a half), you can find the Study Guide here: Antebellum Era Study guide. Show me what you know!
6/6 Quick Write:
Today we are taking a look at the Civil War! In our last unit we went through all of the various tensions that were rising between the North and South, most of which revolved around slavery. Now… BOOM! We gotta war. However, we don’t have time to go into the War, other than to examine a brief overview of the consequences and effects of the conflict.
We will examine the Civil War by watching a two-part video series (Crash Course with John Green). You will be given a handout with an assortment of questions regarding the war, which you will answer as we watch the 1st part in class. The handout is here: civil war q’s pt 1 & 2
Keep in mind, he talks very fast and covers a lot of information. Here are some vocab words that may assist you as you watch.
You will HOLD ON to this handout, as questions for Part 2 are on the back. We will complete the second part tomorrow!
Almost done with the week already!
