Chapter 5

Here are your assignments for the next two classes.  This gets us through Chapter 5!  You will notice there is  a format change because of the adjustment I have made in the class.  I have divided the assignments between the Tuesday class (which are for everyone) and the Honors/AP Prep portion of the class which meets separately.

Chapter 5 Assignments

If you prefer using Google Documents the document is HERE.

You should still prepare for your reading and study in the same way as before - just not all of you will be doing the opportunity questions:

#1  Read over the chapter summary and flip through the chapter looking at what sections it is divided into.
#2  Read over and or listen to the summary available on the Online Roadmap
#3  Read with a pencil in hand to mark as you go (index card for vocab)
#4  Look over the topics we will discuss in class and take note of them even during your first reading
#5  Do the first reading - reading for understanding (some of you are using the audio for this reading, just remember to pause it).  Make sure to break your reading into 'bytes', do some form of narration/retelling, and take breaks.  You should be able to complete the reading in two days - don't scream through it all at once!
#6  Build your timeline and lists of important people (make sure you note something about them) in your notebooks
#7  Work through the content using the class topics and opportunity questions.  Go back to sections you marked that you didn't understand and look for help if needed.  Make sure that you can talk/write about each of these topics/questions.

For the Honors/AP Prep class I'm giving you all the opportunity questions at once - use both weeks to go through them.  Our first week's opportunity will be the one on Washington and sectionalism.  The second weeks opportunity is your choice - you choose which of the remaining questions you want to answer.  Spend more time on that question, but do try and spend some time with each of them!
