Formal Paper Assignment, Due Fri. Oct. 29th

AR Paper #1

Due Friday Oct. 22nd

Blocks C & E:

1. Please read and take notes starting with "Politics in England and America" on pg. 130 through pg. 134.

2. Also, please read this Examiner article on Glenn Beck's attitude towards the institution of slavery, and make sure to listen to the 4 minute audio clip to help you better understand the opinion piece (slavery comes up around 2:30, be patient, it will help to have the context).



3. Using the "comment" function on this post, please answer the following questions in a minimum of two paragraphs (3-5 complete sentences per pgh). It will be graded.

• Based on what you have learned, do you think slavery "started with seemingly innocent ideas?" If so, did it ever lose its innocence? When?
• Do you think that health care reform is reintroducing the institution of slavery to the U.S.? If so, do you see a parallel between the beginning of slavery in the Atlantic slave trade and Beck's idea of slavery today?

*Tomorrow I will introduce an essay to be due next Friday 10/29 and will provide you with a review guide to help you study for your test on Monday.

Announcement: Block Specific Pages

In an effort to help you plan ahead, I will post the week of work coming up on your block specific pages (see links on right hand side of home page). I will continue to post the nightly homework with more in-depth directions on the main page in an effort to remind you what's due next class.

Effective immediately- check it out!

Due Tuesday Oct. 19th

Block C (& E for Wednesday): Read and take notes from pg. 360 starting with "The Peculiar Institution" through pg. 368 ending before "Free Black Southerners." Make sure to take a look at "Daily Lives" on pp. 368-369.

Don't kill yourself with notes- definitely take them, but be brief. I am more concerned with you absorbing it to help with discussion tomorrow. Keep in mind we are dealing with a larger time frame as we study the slave trade and slavery- hence you reading part of Chapter 13.

See you tomorrow!

Due Monday Oct. 18th

To those of you who didn't have your notes from last class, please refer to the earlier post outlining your hw for Friday, and complete them. I will check tomorrow.

In addition, please read and take notes from pg. 121 starting with "Slave Socities in the Eighteenth-Century South" through pg. 124 ending before "Enlightenment and Awakening in America."

Also, please make a map on a regular sheet of paper (8.5" x 11"), using color pencils/crayons/markers- MUST BE IN COLOR- recreating the slave trade map on pg. 69. I am most concerned with the outline of the continents and the arrows delineating what colonial powers exported how many Africans from where and to where (you must included percentages). This will be graded.
