Weekly Syllabus

Week of Monday, January 19 through Friday, January 23

The second half of the term (and the second half of the year) begin this week. We will continue our study of the Civil War this week, and we will return to the speeches of Abraham Lincoln. You will be able to do the purple questions for 48 hours after Ch. 15 after Thursday's class.  Also, we will have a test covering Chapters 15 and 16 when we finish Ch. 16. So, probably either right before or right after the long weekend. Conference if you have questions!
