Week of January 16th

For Wednesday please read Strayer, 607-614. We will lecture briefly on that part of the chapter and spend the remainder of class reviewing for the exam that will be on Friday. Remember, students who scored lower than a B- on the last exam must turn in outlines of their essays on Tuesday, so that I can give them back to you with feedback in class on Wednesday.

Reading and Prep for Friday, January 14th

Please read Reilly 832-845 and prepare an outline for the in-class essay on Friday. You will be able to use the outline to write the essay, and must turn it in for 20% of the grade. If anyone would like some feedback on the outline before actually writing the essay, I will be available on Thursday during Tutorial, 3rd & 4th blocks, and after school.

Reading and homework for Wed, Jan. 12th

Please read Reilly 818-832. I suggest you read the Cannadine piece first, then read Orwell. Refer to the essay prompt handed out Monday, and begin to prepare your outline for Friday's essay. On Wednesday we will discuss the readings and work with the outline to prepare for the essay. Also on Wednesday you will need to turn in the following list of ids from the last two classes:

  • Indian Mutiny
  • Scramble for Africa
