You can connect to what we are doing from here. Please use the comments form, so I can see the questions, and answer them for all students to see, and get help from others. Please stick [perservere] with the work that needs to be accomplished the subject areas we are interested in studying. All the above ideas are linked up to learn more for our course and democratic life.
We might in class watch the PBS special. If not, the HOMEWORK [we may need this for other topic too] this week is to watch 15 minutes a night of the link below [Looking for Lincoln], which can be finished in four nights [we may quiz each other each day=four quizzes]. I have embedded the video so you can watch from here too. Please bring notes to class each day. If you are testing there will be a downloadable chart you can work on from the next blog. Please be prepared to be able to take an open-note quiz or work on topics from the series Looking for Lincoln, Part 1. We want to consider at least the basic question of the contradictions of Lincoln. Please take notes.
