RECONSTRUCTION LECTURE

Here is the lecture for Reconstruction.  Your test over Unit 5 will be this Friday, with the group retake on Tuesday.  Finals are on Thursday, so it all comes at once.  For Wednesday and Thursday this week, you will have class time to prepare for both the test on Friday and the final exam.  The final exam will be 100 questions.  You can find keys for the reading guides for this unit above.  Don't worry about Chapter 17 right now; we will be doing it first thing next semester.

SCHEDULE UPDATE

Hi everybody. Sorry I have not been in.  Obviously, we will have to make some changes to the schedule.  I am not sure when I will be back; hopefully by Wednesday (fingers crossed).

Therefore, your test won't be until Thursday and the retake on Friday.

On Monday and Tuesday, you will be watching a provocative movie about Reconstruction.

I was planning on lecturing about Reconstruction.  Instead, I will post the lecture online which will consist of a powerpoint with yours truly narrating it (gotta love technology).

On Monday or Tuesday, your reading guides will be returned.  I'll put the keys online so you can check your answers.

In the meantime, if you have any questions, just email me.

Mr. J
