-For those of you who went to Monticello, write a ½-1page response on what you learned, or enjoyed, something that interested you, or heard for the first time. It should be typed, 12 pt, double spaced. (Kayla, you can write a 1/2 pg-1pg about your Civil War time instead, and since I didn't tell you that last class, it doesn't have to be due this week but next).

History Class.

Hi Moms,
Tomorrow Iplan on watching 1/2 of Amazing Grace, the movie about William Wilberfoce. The only issue I see is that the future Mrs. Wilberforce wears a few dresses that reveal some cleavage - and he has a dream where is in a theater that I will fast forward because I think there are a few immodest women on stage. Otherwise, there is nothing inappropriate. If I do not hear from you I will assume this is fine for your daughter to see in class! My number is 301.536.2259 if you have any questions. Thanks!
Lauren

Hi Girlies,
I had a great time with you girls at Panera last week! Just wanting to remind you of your homework:

READ:
-The Early American Republic p. 34-37 (section on Jefferson and the Courts), p. 40-43 (stop at "Towards War"), and p. 141-143 (start at "commerce and the law" and stop at "Bad Feelings")
-A Journey Through the Life of William Wilberforce - finish the book

DO:
-A ven diagram comparing/contrasting Jefferson and Wilberforce
-After you do your ven diagram, see what categories you can find to talk about in your paper.
*ie. Same/different childhoods? Religion? View of politics? Friends? Worldview? Marriage? etc.

**Take brief notes (just a sentence about the main point) of the sections you read in The Early American Republic.
**Notes and filling out your ven diagram is part of your homework grade and I will be looking to see if you did it.

Love you girls.
