Please consider doing the suggested readings and video viewings below. I will look at possibilities of online webinars, Zoom sessions, etc in the coming days.
****These are currently not mandatory assignments. However, you can keep up to help your progress toward AP exam preparedness.

1. Read the Ulysses Grant - The New Yorker article (link found on the Period 6 notes list). I think that article helps understand a president who was a better man than he is remembered as a president. I will hopefully have a video posted later this afternoon.

I do have a few assignments that I am still grading but there will be no new assigned grades until April 13th. The 3rd quarter will end April 30th so there is still time to improve even your test average for 3rd quarter. You will have assigned tests, quizzes, readings, and other assignments after April 13th that will be assessed. If you have not been watching videos and keeping up with readings then there will be a whole lot to catch up on really quickly. 3-31-20

1. View Notes on "Racial Segregation and the New South" (parts 1 and 2 below - part 2 will be posted later today if not up yet) 2. Read Booker T. Washington "Cast Down Your Buckets" 3. Read WEB DuBois "The Talented Tenth" Both of these readings are crucial primary docs to understanding this time period and different views on ending segregation. We will discuss these and be assessed on these after April 13th. I would suggest becoming familiar with them now so that you can just do a short refresher when the time comes. 4-2-20
View New South Part 2 Notes. Beginning of Unit 7 notes posted later today Before we begin studying Unit 7, please watch the video below from Howard Zinn on Imperialism. Remember from our readings and discussions earlier this semester that Zinn wrote "A People's History Of the United States." As you watch the video, what biases can you detect. Also pay attention to how he says that his views about American Empire changed.
