1. Read all of Chapter 6 of Lincoln (pages 93-117).
2. Decide what your thesis will be for your Who Freed the Slaves? take-home essay due next Monday, November 5th, either (a) President Lincoln played the key role in slaves’ emancipation or (b) the slaves themselves played the key role. Gather evidence (ideas, supporting quotations, etc.) from Lincoln, To Be a Slave, and the McPherson-Berlin handout. List the evidence you have gathered in bullet-point form to show me tomorrow morning in Core.
3. TWO IDENTICAL COPIES of your 3rd Civil War letter to your partner are due at 8:20am, without exception. Check the letter checklist to make sure that you are writing high-quality letters that adhere to the requirements! (Hint: one page is probably not enough to fit everything in!) Remember, the five total letters to your partner are worth TWO PROJECT GRADES.
4. If you have any homework that you have not turned in or a To Be a Slave essay that you have revised for an improved grade, it is due by the end of the day tomorrow, Tuesday.
