Weekly Syllabus

Week of Monday, April 23 through Friday, April 27

This week we will jump into our study of America during the Second World War and the postwar period. I will aim to give you back your outlines by Wednesday.  Your first draft is due a week from Wednesday. If you haven't conferenced yet, now would be a good time!
