November 18/19

Today in class we

Started chapter 6 in your note packet learning about the New Industrial age. We finished sections 1, 2, and through #7 on section 3 (Use slides 1-29 on Unit 6 PowerPoint)

We also continued learning about essay writing:
Journal 
We put all of the steps together; brainstorming, writing a thesis statement, and how to write the body paragraphs (I have put a PowerPoint on essay writing under the Unit 7 tab) For your journal, you will write a 5 paragraph essay on the topic of your choice. **Use the PowerPoint to help guide you, answer questions, and if you can't think of a topic I have put some sample questions on the last slide, or you may may choose
1. Was the Civil War worth its costs?
2. Was the Civil War a war for freedom?

Homework
Do #22-31 of your purple vocab sheet words! 
*if there is a term that we didn't mention in class- don't worry about it, just cross it out :)
