Thursday, January 13

If you’re trying for a “B” this month, you should have 74 points (80%) on your calendar by the end of this week.

If you’re trying for a “C” this month, you should have 56 points (60%) on your calendar by the end of this week.

If your required items show ZERO in Zangle, it’s because all of them have not yet been completed, OR I haven’t recorded your points yet. Feel free to email me.

FRIDAY IS THE DEADLINE FOR POINT RECOVERY. If you are attempting point recovery in the form of a new essay, remember: I will not accept the work for full credit unless I see the Thinking Map essay plan before you write the draft. Make sure to consult me about what you plan to do before starting on an essay plan. I want this to be a useful exercise. Due date for Point Recovery: Friday, 1/14. Limit per day: 1 Point Recovery item.

TONIGHT’S HOMEWORK IN THE AMERICAN COLONIES ISN:

• Use the new sub-blog for our ISN to find the spread for U.S. History ISN page E-F. At the bottom of the E-F directions you’ll find tonight’s assignment. Related to the Economics of the Gilded Age (E-F), I want you to use Viewpoints to build a spread in the American Colonies ISN. The question of whether or not, or how much, the government should regulate big business or the interests of the wealthy and the connected, is a theme that permeates the entirety of American history, including present-day politics between President Obama and the Democrats, and their Republican opponents.
