PART THREE: Testing the New Nation 1820 - 1877 Chapters 16 - 22 (p. 348) |
|||
UNIT
ASSESSMENT:
|
|
Note: The Final Exam for this semester will
include the first chapters of Part Three. These first
chapters will ALSO be included on the Unit Exam, which you
will take sometime in January. Note that the first chapter in Part Three goes back to "The Beginning," after the Constitution is in place and the Bill of Rights Ratified, and it covers the next 67 years (three generations.) The 1840s get a full chapter, the 1850s get two chapters, and the civil war itself (four years) gets TWO chapters! Reconstruction, arguably the saddest, most maligned, least understood piece of US history -- 12 years -- gets only one chapter.

Hamilton Presentations (and written summary with
bibliography due)
About the summary: It's a written-out version of the story you'll be presenting, and it is meant to also serve as the structure for the term paper, should you choose to pick Hamilton (instead of the Sixties) as your topic. Therefore, it should be a couple of pages long and the bibliography of the sources you used (NOT including stuff you read but DIDN'T use) to put together the facts for your story. Each PAIR may submit the summary. However, if you are going to pursue the "Historical Fiction" as your term paper, you will (of course) write your own term paper!

2 Notes Guide
|
Note please that CHAPTER TWO is a
broad-brushed overview of the period. For these chapters, take brief notes, or use the Notes Guide, or outline. The NOTES GUIDE starts with a random question # because the author of the notes started with Q1, Chapter 1. The q #s continue to chapter 8, I believe. I renumbered them on the summer reading but I forgot to do these. Just disregard the numbers. I will look for some indication you took notes or used the Notes Guide on these chapters when I collect your (PART ONE) binder (LATER). Notes must be handwritten -- UNLESS you are filling out the Notes Guide, in which case, "type awaaayyy!!" QUIZZES on Ch 2 & 3: Open Notes! Timed.
Prepare
these assignments to hand in (except for reading notes).
Save your Reading Notes for the Part ONE binder. When it is returned, re-establish it as Part I (chapters 1-8).
