Hi everyone,
Today in class, we started pulling together all the different topics we've been talking about to get an overview of the events that led to the Civil War. If you were not in class today, you need to make sure to review what you have done and what we did in class, and get caught up so you walk in on Monday ready to rock and roll!
We quickly touched on a couple of social events to follow up the political and economic issues we've examined. The three specific topics we touched on were the publication of Uncle Tom's Cabin, the Dred Scott Supreme Court decision, and John Brown's raid on Harper's Ferry. If you need a refresher, click the link to watch a great video!
If you got done with your assigned reading and post-reading activity that was given last week, you turned it in and got a 3-circle Venn diagram to begin. Review the instructions under Homework.
If you did not get a copy of the handout about events before the Civil War, it is linked below.
HOMEWORK:
Print off the 3-dimension Venn Diagram. Label the three circles Economic, Political, and Social. Use the Timeline Cards linked here (ONLY PAGES 8 - 11) and all other class activities and materials (abolition reading, map activity, economics station activities) to help you fill out the Venn Diagram, looking at underlying causes of the Civil War.
This needs to be THOROUGH, please!!!!
