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!

Please keep up with the reading. If you do so you will be prepared for class and you will also have several days before the paper is due with no reading assignments.
