Craig and I discussed economics and why we limit monopolies. We also discussed how we define the "turn of the century". Craig completed several printable practice problems that I downloaded from MathSeeds in order to learn to read analog time on a clock. We began an iCivics lesson about Plessy vs. Ferguson and discussed the concept of "separate but equal". We compared this case to the Dred Scott decision 40 years earlier and discussed the way that black people were judged in the South, to determine what percentage of "black blood" they contained. In our second session today we continued reading about Plessy vs. Ferguson and analyzing the Supreme Court decision and its effect. We compared it to the decision of Brown vs. Board of Education. Afterwards, we began reading a Newsela article from the Gilder Lehrman Institute of U.S. History about Jim Crow and The Great Migration. We will continue in our next class. Craig was very attentive today in our second class and participated and asked some great questions!
