Week of 22 February 2010

Big Week coming up. We will be finishing Unit 2A: Birth of the Nation, including a test, most likely on Thursday. We will be investigating some important ideas and compromises that went into the creation of the US Constitution, which has sometimes been called "A Bundle of Compromises." We will follow up with Unit 2B: the Constitution where we will take a look at the structure and concepts that went into the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. We will wrap up next week with Civil Rights, and the Civil Rights movement of the 1960s.
