Thursday, November 6

Students were given the assignment sheet for the persuasive paper on slavery, due Friday, November 21, and now framed as a speech to be given in the year 1858. Students asked and Mr. Potratz answered questions about it, and then we began (in every period but the fifth) reading another handout, "Slavery a Positive Good," a speech delivered by John C. Calhoun before the U. S. Senate in 1837.

HW due Friday (periods 1, 2, &6): Finish reading the Calhoun handout and come to school prepared to answer questions about it.
