Monday/ Thursday American HIstory and LIt

Hello everyone.
Did you have fun this morning? I hope that Alyse was alive when she left. I am sure that you guys were kind to her.
I am fine and will see you on Thursday.

Literature: Read Chapters 8-10 of Uncle Tom's Cabin.
                   We will continue Stowe's characterization.
                   Begin thinking of attributes of the characters that you have met in the book.


Vocabulary: Quiz on the 11 Greek roots.

History: I realize that the first part of John Adams is a little slow, but I think that it is a good pic of    what the country was experiencing at the time.

              We will review together.
