Hi everyone,
Today, we shifted our focus from the events that led up to the Civil War to the Civil War itself! First, we reviewed a critical concept necessary to understand the differences between the Union (United States) and Confederacy (Southern states). Then we started looking at some of the underlying differences between the two sides.
** IF YOU WERE ABSENT TODAY - Please make sure you get the yellow class participation sheet that was handed out today. Review with a friend who was present in class and get the information you need.
The review question we used to begin class is a five-point FORMATIVE ASSESSMENT. You will not get credit for a first-round attempt, but we are going to revisit this question on THURSDAY at the beginning of class.
The question we answered today is, "What is the difference between a federation and a confederation?" Your answer needed to include the words "power," "central government" and "states" or "state government".
If you do not remember the differences and need a refresher, the terms "central government," "federation," and "confederation" are all reviewed in this Quizlet set.
HOMEWORK: Essay due WEDNESDAY
** The question came up, can Montreal travelers wait and submit their essays electronically from the road? The answer is yes, HOWEVER, if I do not receive your essay on Wednesday (regardless of when you sent it), it is late, and you will not have time to revise for a higher grade. I strongly encourage you to finish the essay and submit it before you leave.
