Hello.
I hope everyone is enjoying the Time article about France's cultural decline. Be sure to highlight and talk to the text as you read. Your notes will help when you are supporting your ideas during tomorrow's Socratic Seminar.
Extra Credit-
This will count towards raising your homework grade in the class.
Please, answer the questions in complete sentences on a separate piece of paper.
What role did Native Americans play in events leading to the War of 1812? Explain.

Long Awaited Update
First, I want to apologoze for not updating this blog sooner.
Secondly, if you are in my advisory class and have not met with me yet, please send me an email, so we can confirm a date.
FYI -I have tried emailing many of you, but I seem to have the wrong addresses or you just don't want to email me back. I would like to think it is the latter.
michelesilvestri@yahoo.com
You should all be in the process of writing your SHORT one to two page description of the identity of the USA in the early 19th century (Describe the national identity of the United States during the Jeffersonian Era). It is due on Monday, December 10, for 2-C and Thursday, December 6, for 2-A.
Also, I hope you continue watching the news and/or reading the newspaper. There are SOOO many interesting and, some may say, important events happening around the world. For extra credit and to just keep you in the "current event loop", OOIP a recent political cartoon. Be sure to include your observations, outside knowledge of the subject and any inferences you are able to make. Don't forget to put it all together.
See you all soon. Have a good week!
