Civics, Focus, World

Civics: today we held the fishbowl on whether or not to junk the electoral college. You did a nice job utilizing your arguments and explaining the positions on these issues.  Now that you have expressed these beliefs, you need to work on the 3 paragraph short essay assignment given today. The short essay is due on Friday at the start of class.  If you want to hand it early on Thursday, please do so.  If you are absent on Friday, please be prepared to send your essay via email.

Tomorrow we will pick up with the principles of government. Be sure your work on the Cornell document is complete. You worked on that in class yesterday.

Focus: Today we discussed options for your next post.  I will comment on your 2nd post today.
We will be in the lab tomorrow.

World: Today we debriefed patriarchy and the role of women in Han China.  We tied foot binding into the discussion and also revisited the inferences we made related to fall of empire.  Due tomorrow is the foot binding chart. Use this evening to review and get caught up with the materials related to Han China.
