We will finish up where we left off last on how to use Historical Documents.  Please have all of the materials with you for class – this was the timeline of the Louisiana Purchase handout and the letters – remember?  It’s been awhile!  I’ll try and dig out the email and send it again before class in case anyone has misplaced materials.

Assignments over Christmas Break

____Read pp 269-292 in Bennett

____Complete Accompanying Questions

____Timeline/Key People in Notebook

____For second semester, make sure you have a copy of  My Folks Don’t Want me to Talk About Slavery by Belinda Hurmence

____Those of you who are reading the autobiography should have that completed when you return.  We will schedule a group discussion after break.

____Since you will be with family again over the holidays please consider this as a time to get some idea/start on your final project for the year – the Oral Family History!

____One last thing – if you are so inclined I recommend viewing Amazing Grace and Amistad.  Both of these films have to do with the abolition of slavery and I wish there was a way we could watch them together, but I can’t squeeze it in.  (WARNING – Amistad is rated R for some nudity and for violence so please make sure you discuss it with your parents first!)

After Christmas Break

____We will have a special class covering the Trail of Tears and the Indian Removal sometime during the week of January 3^rd.  There’s no preparation for this – just show up.  It will be a longer class – we’ll watch a video during part of it.  Why don’t we plan to bring a snack to share?

____We will also schedule our trip to the Andrew Jackson Museum (and it may make sense to do those in the same day?)
