GLORY: THE AMERICAN CIVIL WAR

4/7/2016

We will be starting this Friday or Monday. This Wednesday we worked on the University of Michigan study. Please download and/or print. A created page from the information is ok also. You can create pages if you must. We also might hand out some as xerox copies out when we get back, if machines are running. Students need to download Glory to add to the interactive notebook Chapter 15 you can get started. All students should download the packet for the movie glory. It is pretty easy to complete. Also, my family Civil War Journal entries from July 4ths of the Civil War will be given out to the 8th grade classes for Chapter 15 on wayback wednesdays. We will preview the chapter today for our cover page for the interactive notebook.

Everyone of us is living history. We all have a story to tell and the ancestors that came before us that carved a way for us to become a new member of civilization. We also are learning that we are all related genetically and culturally in the family of humanity. All people’s past becomes part of all of us, and will always be completely intertwined with the entire world community.

Author's NOTE

From time to time we will have some ideas from words that give us wisdom about our world. Writers are some of the most insightful people that understand our modern and ancient world quite well. Feel free to read, think, comment on these ideas. It seems that some of the students would like to debate issues of government, economics, and history. This can be a forum for this idea. Also if you would like to do formal debates in class we need to prepare debate rule and procedures. This can be a start and then we can decide if we will proceed to bring the debates in class on topics we study. Please follow our classroom rules if you decided to write on the blog. Make sure that you ask questions, and be helpful, and mature in all your interactions. This can be a helpful way for you to share what you have learned and what you want to learn, or just share ideas. Also just submit an idea through an email, or web contact, and we can maybe add the idea. Send a picture with the suggestion for the classes. Thank you.

Class Forum

Students can also decide to add a topic that can be approved and monitored by Mr.C. Please be responsible and follow the social contract. You can share ideas and questions on your now topics about our class. Friends can help each other study with their devices. Please only students, but fell free to share the forum communications with your family. This can be a source for all students.
