“Before the rise of the printing press in the sixteenth century, stories were passed down orally. The older people in a community shared the important stories of their history…all principles and values of life woven within these gripping narratives. They shared these stories with each other, and with the next generation. It was a part of their culture…their lives.” - Randy Frazee (The Story) ... How well do you know our story?

Overview for Week of October 3-7
This week in US History we will look at the period just before the start of the American Civil War. We will focus on about ten events between 1850 and 1861 and their importance in starting the war. This week we will not have a map quiz, instead there will be a map incorporated into the test. After last weeks use of group learning activities, this week we will get back to normal with some good old fashioned lecture and reinforcement/enrichment activities. Test for the Road to War will be on Friday, October 7.
