Xmas Hols Debrief + Review of Antebellum Period + Reform Movements Ranking + Handout over Ch. 14 Summary


Today the 6ths/7ths:
  • Shared important events from Christmas Hols (especially those related to Santa's munificence)
  • Briefly reviewed the history we've studied thus far, noting we've mostly been focusing on the Antebellum Period ("Antebellum" = "before the war," i.e., the period before the Civil War; the dates vary from book to book, but the Antebellum Period generally refers to the years 1815-1861
  • Examined a list with brief descriptions of Pre-Civil War Reform Movements
    • Ranked the 8 movements listed according to what each student considered to be their order of importance
    • Gave reasons justifying their rankings
    • See GooDocs here and here.
  • Were linked to a Chapter 14 Summary: Age of Reform and given notice of a Quiz over this on Thursday
