Thanks to everyone who participated in our investigation groups<\/a> in class today! Here’s what to do before we next meet on Wednesday, 1\/23.<\/p>\n

1) Read the syllabus. You got a paper version in class, or click in the left sidebar for a full-color PDF or online flipbook version. <\/p>\n

2) Read Chapter 15 pages 446 to<\/a> 466 in<\/a> Henretta, America: A Concise History<\/em> 5th edition. Your books should look like this:
\n
\nIf you have the 4th edition of the Henretta text instead, then read pages 437-456. If your book is still shrink-wrapped, you might want to leave it that way for easier return to the bookstore. I have contacted them to let them know their mistake and to ask how we can resolve it, and I will let you know their answer as soon as I find out what the options are.<\/p>\n

If you do not have the textbook yet, I’ve made a PDF of the first reading assignment and put it on Blackboard, so check there. <\/p>\n

3) Take this poll<\/a> to see what topics we’ll look at in greater detail this semester. <\/p>\n

4) If you have the Documents book, you can begin on your first SkillBuilder assignment which is due Friday, Jan 25. This assignment is explained in the syllabus on p. 4 or under the “SkillBuilders” tab above. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
