Schedule for Tuesday, 1/22 — Tuesday, 1/29

Overview for the Week...
One-pager due on Friday;
The week's objective is to finish the chapter and begin the next (Chapter 7; "The Jeffersonian Era") of which the first section concentrates on society, and the next section on the economy, before getting back to politics and the new president T. Jefferson.
I will be giving you a chapter to read out of Steven Ambrose's, "Undaunted Courage," which will discuss "Jefferson's America." I believe this chapter is very important since it describes a world that you will find very foreign.  My goal is to hand this to you on Tuesday, but I know that our school copier has been broken, so it might not get this reading until later.
