Repeat reminder: If you want to have the opportunity to take a traditional, multiple choice end-of-unit test to average into your course grade, you have to submit your Civil War writing (due many weeks ago) by Monday. As this is a gift of a very late, additional chance, this is a firm deadline. We explored the topic of Indian Boarding Schools at the turn of the 20th century by way of Louise Erdrich's poem "Indian Boarding School: The Runaways" and two helper pages of info from Dr. Jean Griffith of Wichita State's English Department. (3 handouts in total) We then began our chronological review work with the "Cleveland to Taft" episode of the History Channel's The Presidents (available on You tube) -- add to your notes, CQ ideas, and the Simplified History of Presidents' Political Parties. We viewed through ~10:00 and will finish the last bit in class on Monday before we do the remaining end-of-unit work (Research, Unit-Closure Work Packet, Test, and Writing).
