**Begin formulating an opinion about why we have paired the novel Part-Time Indian with the Reconstruction Era. What are the thematic links between them? Speculate about what they might be in preparation for our culminating activity which is an in-class writing next week.
Due Wednesday:
A. Freedom’s Unfinished Revolution: Read pages 263-265, and make notes on the “Retreat from Reconstruction Grid” that you made in class. If you were not here, the grid is basically a blank paper folded into 4 rectangles. Each one has a title and notes for that section are put into the box with the corresponding title.
Sections of FRONT and BACK of Retreat from Reconstruction Grid:
- KKK and Vigilante Violence / Congress Response to Vigilante Violence
- Retreat on Land Reform
- The Retreat on Civil Rights
- The Retreat of the Republican party
- Retreat and Corruption
- Retreat and the Depression of 1873
