The North: The Know Nothing Party

1/29/2017

Last week we worked on the Wayback on Irish immigration. We also discussed shortly the Know Nothing Party. Again this week you will be choosing a new primary source document. It will be a choice different from Wednesday 1/25/17. We also had a few chances at beginning to use Kahoot to see what you know and remember.
This last week has brought us many new developments and interesting historical connections, like to the Irish Potato famine and migration. This links to the refugees leaving Syria and Iraq, and other areas of the world in chaos.
Please see if you find any of the articles interesting and can add the ideas to your notebook. You should be done with Chapter 11 notes, The North. You should have started Chapter 12: The South. Do not forget the outputs start them now. This notebook will be named from chapters 11/12. Please keep working, and be kind all the time, and helpful to all. Best wishes.

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
