Social Studies -- Ms. Smith lead a brief lesson on the Emancipation Proclamation. Students analyzed 3 different sources and discussed the political and strategic goals of Lincoln's proclamation. For homework students should read the text of the Emancipation Proclamation to highlight key phrases and write down any questions they have.
The Civil War assessment is on Thursday and students should continue using their study guides to prepare. As I informed the students today; those who study will find the test easy.
The following site has some useful information about the conditions in the South after the Civil War:
Students will have to answer an essay question about the conditions in the South directly following the Civil War so they should use the above link as a resource to complete that section on their study guides if they have not already done so. Some students may need help decoding the language and, as always, feel free to contact me if you or your child have any questions.
