In class today, I returned timelines to three classes and checked the homework due today.  We pulled our desks into a circle and discussed the antebellum period basing our discussion on the guided reading homework.  We will continue this tomorrow.  I announced in class a cartoon due on Friday; however,  I decided to postpone this assignment because of so many things going on this week.  We will do the assignment in relation to the Civil War instead.  Have a nice afternoon!

I checked last night's homework at the beginning of class.  The class assignment was to develop a chart to organize material about the land acquisitions that went along with Manifest Destiny - we also discussed sectionalism and how all of this began leading up to the Civil War.  Homework was to complete the chart and then read pages 215 to 227.  I will not give a quiz on the assigned reading pages tomorrow - I just want you to be familiar with the information when we begin discussing it in class!
