Happy Thanksgiving!

I just wanted to let you all know that I'm very pleased with the way our primary source letters turned out. I hope you had some fun with them today. I know it was a frustrating, confusing assignment at times, but you all did a great job persevering. Have a great break. No homework for next week; use your time to eat turkey, get rest, and come back rejuvenated.

Plans for Friday, Nov. 19th

There is no reading planned for Friday. If you'd like to make some final changes/improvements to your primary source letter you might want to work on that before you set it down in ink. Also, remember we will have a quiz on Friday. I promised you that I would give you a review sheet, but I forgot to hand it out. If you'd like to stop by my room and pick one up, there on my desk. Or, I inserted a link below for your convenience. The quiz will consist of five of the identification terms on the review sheet.
