Week 1
Hi, students and parents! Our first class session went very well yesterday. I enjoyed getting to know all of the students and was thankful that they all seem very comfortable with each other and with class discussion. This week's homework assignment, due Thursday, August 24, can be accessed by clicking on the button below. In preparing for our debate about whether to celebrate Columbus Day, students should remember to cite their sources and to prioritize primary sources over secondary sources, as we discussed in class. I look forward to continuing our discussion next week!
Lastly, just for fun, here is a cartoon from the Animaniacs, taking great liberties in depicting the voyage of Magellan. See if you can spot the accuracies and inaccuracies based on your reading from chapter 1!
