Gilded Age continues!

Hello gang,
I hope your two day break went better than mine. I have spent the entire weekend at home with a very sick and cranky 2 year old! I was so stir crazy that I actually wen to work to get out of the house!!! Oh well, enough whining, back to the task at hand...

We are well within striking distance of finishing our Big Businessmen essays this week. I am looking forward to some fun and interesting days ahead as we turn our attention to Gilded Age immigration and Leisure. This unit has more video footage than previous units (and we will keep seeing more as the dates move closer to the 20th century). We might also watch a movie if time allows (this all depends upon how quickly these essays get completed...).
This weeks tentative agenda is as follows
A1 and A4

Tuesday Agenda (October21)
