Chapter 4, Section 3: The Struggle for Liberty

Students chose topics for their individual presentations. It was discussed that presentation are scheduled to be completed by spring break. Since the 8th grade field trip is the day before spring break, that gives us one less day to prepare. Students were warned that there will be limited computer lab research time (4 days total) so any activity by a student that is not research will result in a lowered grade for the presentation. Students were advised about what materials to bring to class on research days - starting on Monday. No homework!
