Welcome to the "whole year inn," complete with Howard Zinn!

It's Howard Zinn all the way down and I can only wish you the best in dealing with Howard Zinn.
All best.
Mr. Kannan

Week of 11.12- 11.16
8.2 Social Studies
Mr. Kannan

Monday:  Quiz today In class choice:  Work on Zinn reading for tonight independently and silently or meet in “The Place to Be” for Breakout discussion.HW:  Read Parts IV to VIII in Zinn.  Expect a quiz tomorrow.  Make sure you annotate for required elements.
Tuesday: Time to expect a quiz.  Then, work on tonight’s reading.HW:  Read parts IX- XIII and annotate for that which is essential.
Wednesday:   Quiz today. Read parts XIV to XVII in class.  Finish for homework.HW:  Finish XIV to XVII in Zinn tonight.  Expect another quiz tomorrow.
Thursday:   Time to expect a quiz.  Work on Zinn reading for tonight independently and silently or meet in “The Place to Be” for Breakout discussion.HW:  Finish XVIII to XX tonight.  
Friday:  Finish reading Zinn Article.  Annotate for Themes in Progressivism.HW:  Catch up in all Zinn reading.  Prepare for exam on Zinn next week. (This would mean that all sections have been annotated and that you are clear about essential concepts that should have been annotated in each section.)   It’s about time we threw one out there.   If you are nice, it could be an open note exam.  If not, it is what it is.  Just so you know, your Social Studies teacher does like being told that the New York Yankees is the best baseball team in history.  This would count as being “nice.”
