Weekly Syllabus

Week of Monday, October 13 through Friday, October 17


This is a strange week but we will stay busy.  This week we will jump back into the textbook with Chapter 8. Make sure to take good notes on the reading, and conference if you have questions.

Our next test will take place at some point after we finish Chapter 9; right now I would expect it to occur at some point during the week of October 27-31.

During this week you will also have an in-class writing project which will ask you to make a comparison between the Bill of Rights in the United States Constitution and that of another, more recently written constitution.
