Skills re-do sign-ups deadline is tomorrow! We set up our last EQ page for the year -- Modern Western Civ -- with EQ#1 on the front side: "Who are revolutionaries?" and EQ #2 on the back: "What was the Enlightenment?" Read the short excerpt from Danticat's Create Dangerously and record bullet-point notes under EQ#1 of main ideas and key evidence. We then began taking the same sort of notes onto EQ#1 while viewing PBS' Egalite for All about the Haitian Revolution. (Note this list of "characters/groups" on your page to help you keep straight the story as it unfolds: French in France, French planters/colonists in the colony of Saint Domingue (Haiti), African slaves on Saint Domingue, mixed-race free persons, Britain, and Spain. (We viewed the first 5 minutes today.)
