Today's agenda:
1) Agreement Signature Sheets from the Syllabus are turned in today. 4th period can have until Monday because I forgot to hand them out yesterday.
2) Our first set of class notes (Howard Zinn: "Columbus, the Indians, and Human Progress"). Hopefully you brought a large spiral notebook for taking notes. Keep it organized by date and title of notes.
3) Class activity: "The Coin Exercise" (non-graded). This activity introduces the concept of historiography (how historians think and do their research).
4) Homework: Textbook: pages 40-41; 44-48 ("Imperial Conflicts and Rival Colonial Models").
**2nd period considerably shorter today due to Class Meetings. 3rd period a little shorter.
**Bring textbooks to class on Monday. Normally, both the textbook and Blue Reader can be left at home for homework reading.
**Remember those of you who are taking I.B. tests to attend the I.B. Parent Meeting (with your parents) next Thursday night in the library from 6:30 to 9:00.
