Weekly Syllabus

Week of Monday, February 7 through Friday, February 11


This week we will accelerate quickly--we will skip about five chapters of the textbook.  Doing so will require you to pay close attention as I will give you information on study guide terms relating to those chapters.  If you are confused at any time, ask questions!  We will also take a look at the Supreme Court case of Plessy v. Ferguson, which permitted racially based segregation for decades.

Topic: Finishing up the skipped chapters.(as necessary).  Quiz on skipped chapter material. 

Homework: Read the information about the Plessy v. Ferguson decision. Please read the main link (the one that says "Plessy v. Ferguson" and is underlined). You can also read the excerpts from the majority and minority decisions, as you like. The main document is slightly over 10 pages long, but much of it will be familiar to you. Your goal is to be conversant with the issues in the case.
