Quiz tomorrow if you're in B period! Friday if you are in C, E or G! Short answer format. Shouldn't be any surprises if you've studied the above material.

In Class Today:

B Period- finished the PowerPoint on RRs, Homesteader and Cowboys. Read and discussed an excerpt from historian Howard Zinn.

C Period- Watched the first part of the American Experience: Buffalo Bill...(that's a link if you missed class today and are feeling left out)

E Period- We finished the PowerPoint and you'd had a bit of time to start the Zinn reading, but we'll have some more time tomorrow and discuss.
