Weekly Syllabus

Week of Monday, October 12 through Friday, October 16

When preparing for class this week and next week, you might benefit from doing some background reading in APAN-RED, pp. 859-877.

This week we will continue talking about the tumultuous events of the 1960's. On Monday I will give you an approved topic for your research paper. By Wednesday night at 11pm I would like an email from you providing more specific ideas (a preliminary thesis would be great, if possible). There will not be a major writing assignment this week, but by Friday you should have met with Mrs. Lewis or Mrs. Miller to get a grip on the sources you will need for your paper.
