Another week down! Happy Friday to everyone. We do have a lot of work to get done before we can start the weekend.
Your history notes for section 4 are due today. I will check off your notes then hand them back to you along with the rest of your notes for chapter 11. I want you to use these notes to study for your test which will be given on Wednesday (2/12/14).
Your annotations and essay on "Self Reliance" by Ralph Waldo Emerson is due on Monday. Please see me and I will be happy to go through the text with you. I know much of the language is old and dense at some points. However, the more you look at the work of Emerson, and Thoreau next, I think you will really like their message.

Progress is something that must be fought for; without conflict, progress simply does not occur.
Assignment: Does progress result only from struggle and conflict? Plan and write an essay in which you develop your point of view on this issue. Support your position with reasoning and examples taken from your reading, studies, experience, or observations.
