Writing is due today. We viewed scene 34 through to the end of 12 Years A Slave and then I showed images of the character Patsy relative to the actress who played her, Lupita Nyong'o, for some additional food for thought for their analyses. Be prepared for Socratic discussion over this film on Monday, and possibly also on Tuesday. Chapters 9 & 10 reading and note-taking was assigned -- due Monday, December 2nd. (Ch 9 254-255, 258-260, bottom 1/2 p265-1/2 p266, top paragraph p.268, map on 270, map on 272, 273-top 1/2 p. 278, all of 281-284. Ch 10 p.286- top 1/3 p.287, "Jackson" p.295-302, bottom "Whigs" p.305-top 1/2 p. 306, bottom "Tippecanoe" p.309-top 1/4 p.310, p.312.) This is ~23 pages with both chapters combined, ~1/2 hour of class time was given today to get a good start on it, and the due date allows over a week of time with 2 weekends included. Hopefully this gives you a bit of breathing room while we continue to move forward. ; )
