Monday, 28 April

Today's lesson was "The Story of Reconstruction: How Failure Felt"

The class began by reviewing the definition of "Black Codes." We then practiced note taking strategies (selecting key words) using history.com/topics/black-history/black-codes Students then wrote a brief description of what life would have been like for African-American's living in the south during reconstruction.

Next we reviewed the Nast cartoon on page 140 of the History Alive! after finding ways to translate the information students wrote a briefly reflecting the feelings that must have been prevelant among freed slaves.

Period 4 was able to study a passage about education on page 141 of History Alive!  Periods 5,6,7 will study this passage next class.
