Weekly Syllabus

Week of Monday, February 2 through Friday, February 6


This week we will keep learning about the Reconstruction era, and you will have time to work to find a topic for the term paper project. Remember that we will have our test on Chapters 15 and 16 next THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 12th. With that in mind, even though you will have very little reading homework this week, you might want to use the time to study for the test and to conference.
