Week 1 of our Covid 19 Break - March 16-20

As we shift to an online model for the next couple of weeks, we will have to work differently.

The first assignment is the Andrew Jackson essay.  Please send your essay in either a Word or Google doc.  Either can be sent to my email : coonc001@hartfordschools.org.  This essay was due for students this Monday & Tuesday depending on the block you had me.  Completing that and sending it in are the first lesson this week.

The second lesson this week is about the creation of the nation of Liberia.  Please follow this link to the lesson material for it.  You can send your responses to it via email back to me.  Liberia Lesson Materials

On Friday, for students who were in school I also gave the topic for the Quarter 4 essay for students to start researching.  That topic is "Does Abraham Lincoln deserve to be called 'The Great Emancipator'?"  This essay will be due in late May.  This is your third activity for this week.

Next week we will have lessons on the Seminole War, Missouri Compromise, and the Monroe Doctrine.

This just in!  Tulsi Gabbard has dropped out of the Democratic race, leaving Biden and Sanders to compete for the nomination.
