US History 10 Honors--11/8 & 11/10

This week we will focus on chapter 8, "America Secedes From the Empire, 1775-1783." On Monday I will give you the opportunity to work with a partner to answer the list of chapter 8 questions that I put together this weekend. Please make sure that you read chapter 8 this weekend so that you'll be ready to begin. For those of you who missed the test on Thursday, you may use the class period to take it.

Looking ahead: Beginning with chapter 9, we're going to change the note taking process. You will have a choice: either create your own set of notes (paragraph/bullet points for each section), OR you can print out the set of notes from www.apnotes.net and go back through, highlighting and strengthening them. They're good, but like Wikipedia, they're not perfect. Your job will be to make sure that the notes cover the important elements of the chapter: key people, terms, events, and ideas.

WH9 Honors: Writing exercise (due Friday!)

As per your request, here it is:

}Answer the following question in 1 paragraph or more:

}What was so revolutionary about the Scientific Revolution?  In other words, what changed?

US History 11: Iron Jawed Angels

Don't forget to answer those questions! Here's a link to the page I gave you, along with some other information. I hope you enjoyed the movie...it has a powerful message. Don't ever forget how hard our predecessors fought for the right to be heard. Never take it for granted. My one vote may not make a big difference (especially in yesterday's election!), but there is strength in numbers. If everyone says "my vote won't make a difference, so why bother?," then it truly won't. I vote in every election, and even if my candidates don't win, I can say with a clear conscience that I played my part. My voice was heard. You are the next generation of voters and you CAN make a difference.
