Today in class, we broke into groups and researched questions in Native American history. 

For next week, please read:

Chapter 5: The Heritage of Abundance

Rachel Carson, speech on “The Exceeding Beauty of the Earth”

Andrew Carnegie, excerpts from The Gospel of Wealth

Jacob Riis, How the Other Half Lives

By Tuesday at 10am, please email to me and two classmates a short response paper.  Choose one of the photographs from "How the other half lives."  In the first paragraph, describe what you see in the photograph.  In the second paragraph, respond and give your opinion about what you see.  In the third paragraph, connect the photograph to something else--something from the textbook, something from a primary source, or something from your experience or observation of American or global culture.

IMPORTANT!!!  PLEASE PRINT FOUR COPIES OF THIS RESPONSE PAPER AND BRING THEM TO CLASS ON TUESDAY.  I didn't say this in class, but this will be very important for what we will do on Tuesday.

By Thursday at 9:00 PM: Propose your final project!  See the final project guidelines document, linked elsewhere on the blog, for more information.
