Reading and Prep for Friday, January 14th

Please read Merriman, 382-85, 544-47, 563-68 and the remaining documents in the packet (3,6,7). Also, be sure to spend some time planning out the essay we will write in class on Friday. You need to bring a detailed outline to class. You will be able to use it to write the essay and must turn it in with the essay for 20% of the grade. If anyone would like to have me look over their outline before Friday, I will be available on Thursday during tutorial, 3rd & 4th blocks, and after school. See you then...

Reading and homework for Wednesday, Jan. 12th

Please read Merriman 547-563 and document 5 by Marx & Engels. Refer to the essay prompt distributed in class and begin to prepare your outline for Friday's in-class essay. We will discuss the readings and workshop your outlines in our next class meeting.

Reading for Monday, January 10th

Readings for Monday are Merriman, 532-544 and documents 1 & 2 in the packet (by J.S. Mill).

Reading for Thursday, Jan. 6th

Please read Merriman 524-532 and the background section and docs 4, 8, & 9 from the packet on Mill & Marx. We will create a list of ids from these readings in class on Thursday. Also, if you did not read Merriman 360-375 & 512-523 please get caught up asap.

Reading for Tuesday, January 4th

I hope everyone is enjoying the remainder of the holidays. Before we come back to school, please read Merriman 360-375 and 513-523. We will be studying the Industrial Revolution over the next three weeks and we'll skip around a little bit in the textbook because of the broad time span impacted by industrialization. See you soon.

Assignments for week of Dec. 13th

For class on Wednesday, please read the Napoleonic Footsoldier handout and begin preparing for the exam on Friday. In class Wednesday we will discuss the impact of Napoleon on Portugal and Brazil, the handout, and save some time for a review before the exam. Please bring any questions that you may have, and prepare as much as possible before then, as we will only have time to discuss a select few terms, and briefly discuss the essays.

Homework for Friday and Tuesday

On Friday Dec. 3rd, you will be writing a DBQ essay in class. The following Tuesday we will begin to discuss the French Revolution in earnest. Toward that end please read chapter 12 in Merriman. It's a dense chapter, so leave some time to read it in more than one sitting. We will try to save some time to discuss the Cat Massacre reading, and for those who expressed interest in Marie Antoinette I have provided some links below to materials related to a PBS documentary about her. The check out the timeline on the first, and the second is the entire 2-hour movie available in 10-minute clips on YouTube.
