Today we viewed our classmates videos about the Civil War.

We then read chapter 11 from the textbook.

Finally, we were introduced to the assignment we will do for Thursday. We will either create a newspaper double page spread or a collection of political cartoons. The instructions for this can be found at this link.

We watched the first 25 minutes of the documentary Transcontinental Railroad. We will watch the rest of it on Thursday. We will pull content from this video for the assignment.

For students who are going to make the newspaper, they can use this Google Docs template. If we do not use the template we will need to format our own document, then print it and bring it to class on Monday.
