All this week students will be learning about the highlights in U.S. History between the Civil War and WWI. We will start WWI when we get back from Spring Break.

Some answers are part of the powerpoint presentation, and some questions can only be answered by paying attention to the actual lecture. This packet will be due on Thursday. There will be no homework from Social Studies this week - participation in class will make up the first grade of the quarter.
