Craig left his flashcards at school again. I explained that he needed to take them home in order to study for the Quiz. I witnessed him put them in the backpack. We revisited the U.S. Supreme Court decision of Dred Scott. We also reviewed and discussed the concept of manifest destiny. We watched a video entitled "America Divided" on History.com. We discussed the civil war and learned more about the battles and the advantages both sides had. Craig completed a fill-in-the-blank exercise that focused on advantages of the North and South. We watched a short video about the first battle of Bull Run and Stonewall Jackson. We read about Lincoln's 1863 Emancipation Proclamation which he introduced under his war powers. Finally, we read a newspaper article about the discovery of a 510 year old map which was the first to label our continent America after Amerigo Vespucci. It is said to be the oldest-known printed globe and the first map to show North and South America as separate continents and to depict a distinct Pacific Ocean. QUIZ FRIDAY
