US History II

Nice to meet everyone this week, I hope you had a good start to your semester. For those of you who submitted a Practice Primary Source Analysis (PSA) today: I’ll comment and return those by Monday so you can incorporate the feedback into your first graded PSA paper, due Wednesday Jan 30th.

Check Blackboard for a new section called “Slides and Handouts” for any material shown or distributed in class.

For Monday, Jan 28th — Read Chapter 14 and prepare to bring your book or laptop to class for our first Document Workshop using the Ch 14 Document Project. You don’t need to write anything in advance.
