Ms. Cox's Classes

Daily log for Ms. Cox's social studies classes.

Thursday, January 31, 2013

US History:
1. Due at block next week: "The Dream on Hold."  What dream is the book referring to?   Don't forget that the quiz on the first part of the unit (the Crash and the Great Depression) will be open-note.  Be sure to keep up to date on your work, and keep your binder in order. 

World History:
1. No homework, but if you want to work ahead, just do the next section on the half-sheet -- "Japan's Path to War." 

EL World History:
1. If you didn't finish the questions at the bottom of the notes we took in class on Thursday, have them finished on Monday.

APEH:
1. At this point, I can't even remember what the heck is due when. 
2. Chapter 24 Study Guide is due on Monday.
3. Hub Dates for the second semester are due on Friday.
4. Also due on Friday -- POV comparison.  Go to the Internet Modern History Sourcebook.  Look up the selections by Ure, Engels and Dickens.  Read them carefully and compare their POV on life in the industrial age.  Remember not to summarize the docs...focus on the author himself (background, etc,) and his particular perspective.  What bias might he have?
